On my mind:
1. Needing to buy raffia for Blake and my Halloween costumes. After an ill fated attempt at Woody and Jessie from the Toy Story movies we decided on scarecrows.
2. The condo is on the market. It is exceptionally stressful trying to keep things in order so the house can be shown. Yesterday I had a fifteen minute warning. I hung up the phone and turned slowly to asses the situation. It was so bad. Abi was busy with Play Doh, Gwen had about every toy in the house strewn through the kitchen. Dishes in the sink. Laundry by the door. I threw what I could into the closets and piled the kids in the car so we could be gone. Hilarious and stress provoking. I'm not going to let that happen again.
3. I've been dappling with the idea of looking for a part time job this summer and depending on the situation maybe sticking with it permanently. So many to consider though....I wonder if I could even find something I'd like to do, and get hired to do it? Could I find the perfect, 22 year old, fun, hip, car owning college student to watch my kids? Do I want to do that? I used to get so stressed out about finding a job again but it's funny how much as a parent you just have to let go of your ego. I'm totally okay finding something, anything really and proving myself and working toward some larger, better position. Maybe larger isn't better? Maybe I just want fun, or at least fun people. So many thoughts....
4. I feel like we are the precipice of something. Blake taking a year of leave to teach abroad? Selling the house? A new endeavor, something completely out of my realm of comfortable? Something as benign as finally becoming a runner or maybe something bigger, ballet again...the theatre. Maybe it's just regular date nights?
5. This summer Blake and I have decided on a little vacation to Las Vegas, just the two of us. Vegas seems an odd choice but when you have to spend so much time being responsible, always, the thought of cutting loose a bit sounds incredible.

Ooo, I vote part-time job, ballet, theatre, and pottery. Or, woah, how about a part-time job in something theatre realted? Or for a dance company? That would be so cool!
And I've never had to try, obviously, but I bet you'll have no problem finding a nanny type person. I'm just thinking of someone like Pete's younger sister who's been a nanny for years and still does it part time while she's going to teaching school. I bet there's tons of PSU students who would love a part-time job.
I've got tons of stuff on my to-do list with this yoga teacher traing, but it ends in late January and then I know I'd be totally pyched to take pottery again!!
