Right now, I am…

…in a hurry because I have an early morning eye appointment to check my contacts.

…kind of frustrated because my eyes are a complicated pair and fitting them with contacts is never a simple process.

…a little jealous of people who don’t need to have their vision corrected.

…immensely grateful that I live in a time when vision CAN be corrected. I seriously do not know how I’d function if I’d been born before glasses were invented (one of my eyes is so bad I can’t even see more than a few inches in front of me.)

…remembering exactly why I pay to see a real eye doctor. Mall opticians are not the right choice for me.

…thankful that my children can be trusted to sit quietly in a waiting room without me (the exam room is right next to the waiting room, so I am close by.)

…hoping to make a batch of applesauce today (though I’m going to do it a little differently than I did in that post).

…excited because a lot of happy things, big and small, are on the horizon. Of course, I’ll tell you about them as they happen.

…still hemming and hawing about what to do with my dead Rebel. Sell it for parts for $100 on Ebay? Pay $184 to get it fixed?

…encouraged about some things I’m observing in my children.

…discouraged about other things I’m observing in my children.

…happy that I have a partner in raising them. I wouldn’t want to do this by myself, and Mr. FG and I so often fill in what the other parent is lacking. We make a good pair, but neither of us would be super great on our own.

…loving how excited Zoe is about school. “Can I do more pages, Mommy?” “Time tests? I love those!” “Can we do some other schoolbooks, Mommy?” “Can I read some more science?”

…remembering how Joshua, when he was in kindergarten, cried because we weren’t bringing schoolbooks on vacation.

…wishing kindergarten enthusiasm didn’t wane after a few years.

…low on pictures because the days have been so dark and dark days just do not inspire me to get out my camera.

…tired of humidity, and the mosquitoes that hang around in warm, humid air.

…excited that cooler temps and some sunny, dry air are in the forecast. Oh yes!

…happy that Mr. FG and I finally painted our crown moulding (it was his idea to do it on Monday and I was cranky about it but I’m glad we got it done.)

…anxious to get the wall paint touched up so that the project is finished and we can put our living room back in order.

…heading off to get everyone fed and ready to go out the door.

What are you doing/thinking right now?
