I found this lovely picture on Pinterest recently. Which reminds me that I am spending waaaaay too much time on that website. It is so bad. Sooooo bad. I am totally addicted.
Flowers make me happy though, they really do. Just a quick peek at my flowers board and it is a serious pick-me-up.
Violet has been on vacation with her Daddy this week so I haven't seen her as often as usual. This has been a little tough on me but I look forward to this summer when we can have oodles of fun together.
With all of this time to myself, naturally I've come to have many conclusions about things, you know, thinking so much. Here is what I've discovered:
1. Two cats is one too many.
2. The job market really stinks still. For an art history major with limited actual museum experience, it's worse. I'd like to be done looking for employment since I've been on the search for YEARS now.
3. I can live on very little money for quite an extended amount of time.
4. Best Cupcake Shop EVER.
5. I keep discovering that I am a better Mother than I thought I would be.
6. I miss my sisters and their children A LOT. I am addicted to my nephew Levi and I think about him so much. He is someone very very special.
7. Feeling sorry for myself is useless.
8. My Mom gives free pep-talks via text message when I am feeling down. Sometimes they seem mean, sometimes they make me cry from tenderness.
9. Romantic love is so complicated sometimes. Sigh. Sometimes I want to settle in some way so I can feel "normal" but then I can see others do it out of loneliness or desperation and I realize I am better than that. It has to be right for me, right for Violet and when the stars line-up.
10. The Angry Therapist changed up his website/blog and I don't much like it anymore.
11. The older I get:
(a) the more I love the beach.
(b) realize I should be paying my own phone bill but am not (sorry Mom).
(c) love BBQ.
(d) see how hard it is to be a parent.
(e) the more confident I generally feel in my own skin.
(f) understand that we are all just doing the best we can.
