As it Sits

Two weeks from tomorrow and I will be home... It has been awhile and the house sure shows it. Not one room has been thoroughly gone through in over a year, the closets are stuffed, the floors dirty, the walls stained. My first few jobs will be big ones but necessary.

Plant the garden, clean each room systematically, repair and clean the cars, repair the hall window upstairs, paint, redo the flower beds, and this summer we do Mom and Dad's room.

I need a small part time job too... that can wait a little bit, no sweat.

I am applying for a certificate program, something to pursue for in the future. I am excited and can work slowly and the area fills my soul.

Most importantly continue to center in my spirituality. I have really enjoyed the Buddhist group and will spend more time and energy on the Tao group. Planning a retreat and helping to make the meetings more dymanic. Also the friends I keep, help keep me sane. I have taken a lot from them this past year because of the needs of working and mothering and wifing, now I can give back quite a bit more I hope.
