December Daily 2016 | Day 14

The 14th was my birthday.  It was a busy ordinary day.  It always seems to be this time in the month that I have to start being more intentional about looking for stories to tell, and remembering to take pictures.  On days when we're just hanging out or days when we're doing special holiday things like baking or wrapping presents, it's easy.  It's the days when we're busy with just ordinary things that I tend to struggle.  Today was work as usual with all the kids a tad on the grumpy side, but really, can you blame them?  It's been arctic like temps here and we haven't been able to get outside for a week.  After the kids left it was a quick sloppy joe supper before the kids and I headed out to Religion.  I'm teaching Beau's third grade class this year.  When we finally got home for the night it was fleece jammies, a glass of red wine, and early to bed to try to work on catching up to Beau in Harry Potter.  Since I didn't have many pictures, or a big story I cut one of the 4 pocket pages in half and used the "10 Things" card from the main kit.  I just wrote loving, reading, watching, listening, drinking, thinking, planning, eating, wishing, and feeling in each of the spaces and filled that out as sort of a snapshot in time of me at 33.
