fireflies.

Winter always gets me in a funk. But now that the weather is getting nice and staying nice...I've been doing a lot of walking/bike riding and just being outside in general. It puts me in a much better mood and its given me a lot of time to think. I've found myself not doing a lot of the things that I used to do. I've been just sort of letting life happen instead of really living and experiencing life. So I've made a list. A list of things that I am going to do more of...

1. Spend more time outside
2. Watch TV less
3. Journal more (I used to journal my feelings every day and I dont do it anymore)
4. write songs/poems more
5. listen to new music that inspires me to really LIVE
6. blog more
7. read more
8. goof-off more
9. stop being afraid to let people in
10. be myself...always
11. love myself always
12. remember what it felt like to be a kid
13. LOVE more

*my favorite song right now*

Fireflies by Faith Hill

Before you met me I was a fairy princess
I caught frogs and called them prince and made myself a queen
Before you knew me I traveled round the world
I slept in castles and fell in love because I was taught to DREAM

I found mayonaise bottles and poked holes on top to capture Tinker Bell
They were just fireflies to the untrained eye, but I could always tell.
I believe in fairytales and dreamer's dreams like bed sheet sails.
And I believe in Peter Pan, and miracles, and anything I can to get by...
And FIREFLIES....

crazy. christmas.

Christmas was crazy and hectic this year. With my job as a nanny I didn't really get many days off to do things like shopping and decorating...but somehow we got everything done!

The worst part of it all is the sickness. I guess when you're watching two kids who are sick you're bound to get sick yourself? Who woulda thought? lol

I got a head cold last week from Gracelynn and then got an Upper respiratory infection/fever from Daniel this week. Ugh. I'm just hoping that all the sickness comes to an end soon!

Scott and I spent new years eve at home because I had a temp of 101.4 and I did not feel well. So we watched Law & Order: SVU together, kissed at midnight, and then went to bed. So Lame. but oh well...better luck next year!
