stream of consciousness

i have a totally blank mind and have no idea what to write.  well, maybe a more accurate statement is that my mind is chock full of a million things and i have no idea where to start or what to share.


in t-minus-45-hours, danny and i will in albuquerque, meeting alejandro for the weekend.  but who's counting, right?  right.  


i'm pretty excited.  my mom and step-dad and his family are all meeting there for a weekend of hang-out time.  it's half-way between colorado springs (where i am) and san diego (where alejandro is), so it worked out perfect for us to break up our time apart about halfway through the length of it.  the original plan was for him to be gone for 3 weeks.  i think we both knew that it would probably stretch longer. we don't have a return-date yet. 


alejandro is really good at what he does (i know, i'm biased) and he sort of accumulates more work wherever he goes.  it's a really great thing.  don't get me wrong, i really miss him, but this trip is a very good thing for us, since he was laid off six months ago.  i am amazed and so proud that his handyman business (both here and out of town) has provided a full time income for him in such a short amount of time.  god is good.  and this trip is really helping.  anyway, enough said.  it will be really good to see him.


today, melissa gave me the day off to work, by taking danny all day.  it was awesome.  no, really.  i love working.  i mean i love  working.  it's sort of hard to do when i've got danny with me 24/7.  i always knew, before i had kids, that as a mom i'd need something to do besides be a stay-at-home mom.  i have never wanted to put my kids in day-care, but i also knew that if they (or for now, he) were my only "thing," i'd go stir-crazy.  i'm a better mom when i have my time away to dive into my other god-given calling.  


melissa said i looked markedly refreshed when i walked in.  she was right.  


i'm way behind on reading up on all ya'll's (can i do that?) blogs and responding to comments.  i'm so sorry...  


i have more food in my kitchen than i know what to do with.  i've eaten at all my friends' houses more times in the last week than i've eaten at home.  


i really need to go to bed.  i'm loving my haircut.  i need to get up bright and early.  


this post is now probably a total waste of typing, but what the hey, i'll post it anyway.  :) 




g'night all,
