life of uncertainty

Well I did not accomplish everything on my list, and I forgot to take the picture of the updated list but at least I have something to show for my efforts last night.

I love Halloween, I always have but as I age I think I find I am more and more tickled by an little thing I can add to the season. I find my groove carving pumpkins and really do wish to invest in good tools and maybe a class, or better yet maybe figure out if wood carving could calm my soul as well.

Tonight is my dear Gabrielle’s 30th birthday party! I am very excited. I even bought make-up! I said it once today and I’ll say it again, there is nothing better than a Saturday, fall back Halloween!

I’m going to be running around like a chicken with my head cut off (oh look! Halloween imagery)
I have so much to do and not enough time to do it. How did this week get away from me?
While thinking about all the things to do in prep for Halloween I’ve been so thankful that I could do them on Friday night, all the while knowing neither my kids nor I will be home but never connecting those dots. To make things worse I began tearing my room apart about 9pm last night and now have a disaster, a HUGE need to get a dresser out of the hallway and into my room and family coming tomorrow.

I made a list earlier today, it seems a little more manageable in list form than swimming around in my head yet at the same time I know how one word, clean, means so very much.

I’m borrowing this from Monica with some personal adjustments. Thank you for this post! I was going to publish something this evening but love the idea of posting early enough to catch someone who hasn’t seen 7 o’clock yet this evening.

**This is an ongoing list from 2007 to current**

Today is October 15th, a day of awareness and remembrance. Please take a moment to read and speak these babies names aloud. They deserve to be acknowledged. These are the angels that I “know”. Please join us around the world, lighting a candle for at least one hour from 7 pm to 8 pm in your time zone. The idea being to create a wave of light around the world for these little ones and their families.

How very softly you tiptoed into our world.
Almost silently.
Only a moment you stayed.
But what an imprint your tiny footprints have left upon our hearts.
