this could be a long post. just a heads up.

today i: went to babysit. turned right back around with the boys towards my house. good thing there was something happening today. dad was pouring concrete at 10am. so, we brought some toys out on the deck until 10am rolled around. they loved watching. which was so great. if only they would learn to listen the first time around--in general. these twin boys turned 3 today.

took a glorious nap today. should have gone walking but didn't get to that. it was so windy today--especially during the convenient times to walk. so i thought i'd call it an early night. i was tired at 8:30 i think. tomorrow i will. just makes me feel better. i should probably get a short run in as well.

tonight i went with mom to run some errands. i think she likes that i am home to go with her. dad and markli were at the church board meeting. markli never goes to the store with mom though. not sure if dad ever does, but he's usually busy at church. when i was still in hs i would go by myself. i just kind of enjoy it for some reason. but when i was in walmart i was thinking about how nice it would be to just go to small grocery stores and my mind went to this one in colorado. i went with sherry one time and i think it was when they were at gb (golden bell-camp). so it was in divide, co. but then i thought about the one sherry goes to in washington. sheesh. i just want to live in sick places like that with just such a different feel. someday, someday. it really is okay here in the midwest. but just okay. also in the store i was thinking about how it would be nice to just never be in a hurry--time would just be an easy pace. our cashier was just in a bit of a hurry to get done with us and on to the next customer. i think no matter what, hurrying is always a degree of rudeness. like driving. pretty much in every way. we are just less personable and rude when we are trying to hurry - we don't even know we are.

home is good. love how my room is set up. when i'm home though, i feel like i do things just a little bit differently. like, i cleaned out the fridge and put things back differently. i imagine re-arranging things. i found myself sitting in the living room last week imagining how i think the living room would look best. haha. oh gosh. i guess i just like how i do things. it just makes more sense to me. i think this is mainly just at home. like i wouldn't walk into someone's house and start thinking that. it's just "my territory"--i guess you could say, so i think of how i think it works best. a good and bad thing to do/have/think.

i think i have too much time on my hands. as you can tell. blogging almost everyday. i'm going to try and find more things to do after this week of babysitting. and fill my afternoons up during this week. i'll do this until i get a job or two. not sure what i'll fill this time with BUT if you have any ideas fill me in.

sincerely all--

have a good day :)
