10 on Monday

So I am stealing this idea from KFP Blog because I think it will help me with my conundrum of wanting to blog, but not wanting to take the time to write a super long blog... so here it is, and here's to hoping that I'll keep at it.

• Yesterday Elijah was climbing a tree... my heart can only take so much, and our trees are not REALLY the climbing type, but ya know.  SO I had walked away, because I DO believe that kids NEED this kind of play, regardless of my heart.  AND when I heard him scream, I hurdled over the trash in the kitchen and was totally expecting a broken (insert any number of bones) but instead found him covering his eye in pain.  After looking and looking, Jerry saw a bit of something, so we decided on Urgent Care.  Turns out Elijah had a piece of bark the size of a large ant in his eye.  The doctor was amazed that there was no damage to the cornea... and I'm really happy that he is fine and did so well at the doc.
• Last night sucked.  Elijah woke up at 1215 and we didn't get him settled until 230... and then Grace was awake...and didn't go to bed until 430.  Last night sucked.
• Grace never ceases to amaze me with 1) her verbal ability and 2) her musicality.  She will make up a song about anything, at anytime.
• Is tired of waiting and wondering and dreaming... I'm ready for doing.  I am a doer and I need a plan.  It's VERY hard for me to leave things up in the air.  But I AM trying.
• I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up.
• I REALLLLY hope that I am able to take a ballet class next year.  I miss it.  I didn't realize how much until recently.  With Grace going to preschool, Elijah going to kindergarten, and Jerry going to grad school, I feel like there needs to be SOMETHING for just me.  I thought about maybe taking a class of some sort, and maybe I will, but I would LOVE to do something physical.
• I feel like I have be an absentee mother lately.  I feel like I have just been lackluster.  I'm hoping this changes soon...obviously.
• I'm hoping that I will get some sort of answers to my health issues on the 25th.  Fingers crossed.
• Jerry is playing on a softball team with his coworkers.  I can't wait to take the kids to the first game.  I think they (and I) will have a blast.
• I am intrigued by this family and kind of what to try to become more like them.  As with anything, I think there can be extremes, but I feel like this may not be the worst thing to take to the extreme.

So there.  My 10 on Monday.  I kinda like it.
