All-Together

There are days when I feel altogether or at least mornings like this one where I did a weight training class and then ran 2 miles. (Still preparing for the mini-marathon this weekend). And before I shower I just sit and realize, wow I just got one big hurdle out of the way. :)

Today holds many possibilities between calling potential clients, former clients and future premarital couples to attend our premarital couple connection group. I'm writing the curriculum and am excited to build it up with the message that we are here to prevent divorce even before a marriage happens.

So today I'm "all-together" and tomorrow might be a different story but today is nice.

Space Conserving Seating

Space-Conserving Seating
Most apartment living rooms have space for a sofa, coffee table, and maybe a chair -- definitely not enough seating for hosting a group of friends. Solve the problem with fabric-covered cushions that make sitting on the floor not a big deal. When they're not needed, the cushions can be stacked and stowed.

-- Purchase foam cushions of the thickness and size you need.

-- Search remnant piles and discount stores for pretty fabric that matches your decor.

-- Wrap the fabric around the cushion and hot glue in place.

It's Been Awhile...

It's Been Awhile since I last posted..

Ian now is learning to say please or "peas" and his thank you's "tank-cuu's" are getting much better and more frequent. This morning Mark did a great thing as I got Ian up to change him and Ian immediately got mad or sad or maybe he was even scared at laying down but Mark came in and just calmed him down so I could change him and it made a world of difference! The morning went much smoother and he was his happy, go-lucky self just talking away and "what's that!"...

He came into the restroom as I was getting ready and just opened his mouth (he was ready for his teeth to be brushed). Sometimes he is a handfull when he simply plays by himself he is so fun to watch. I wonder what God thinks of us as we play by ourselves?

I finally called the tree-trimming place (it's only taken me two weeks to call to get an estimate) and they are going try to come out next week. :S Should have called them earlier - oh well. Alas, today was a 5 mile run - love my downhill start and later on it felt more comfortable but it takes me a long time to even get out to do it. :S
