It has been 2 weeks.
You know what that means?
It's dump time. Seriously. Throw it away already.
The NeverEnding Story
I am always in awe every single week of the amount of lists that I make. And the same fights that I break up amongst siblings. And the amount of peanut butter I spread on whole grain bread. And toenails and fingernails I clip. And laundry...
"Excuse me sir, could you please stop? I would like to get off now!" she said to Falkor the luckdragon.
I am going on my 6th annual anniversary of, Chronicles Of This Mom.
Books #1 and #2 are now in paperback. Book #3 is coming out soon. Where did the time disappear to?
I am learning as I go and never thought that as the 6th birthday of 1 certain blond haired boy rolled around I would still be learning just as much as I did the day he was put in my arms.
This story is neverending. That's the whole point. No uncertainty need apply. No more pondering.
Just keep reading. And for the love of mankind, remember to stock your Lysol supply.
Throwing the uncertainty away.
Sweet Dreams are made of these. Why not?
Seems to me that as '09 draws to a, "You're half way there baby!" point that I have put more and more dreams and "why not's"on the front burner on simmer from the back low heat. Figuratively speaking.
I HATE (don't tell my kids I just used that word) to be the kind of person that says, "Oh, that would have been a good idea, I should have went for it!"
So, last week I walked into the Register of Deeds and handed over $10 and set in stone in the county of Grand Traverse a business by the name LuLu Muffin. I marched into the bank and opened a business checking account and there we are.
That and on July 10th I am jumping out of a perfectly, properly working airplane into the beautiful Northern Michigan sky and I will take it all in with a smile on my face.
Throwing the scariness away
Guilt Log (2 weeks worth!)
I put a barrette in Mr. B's hair 2 days in a row. And still haven't just cut it already!
I am not going to be able to drive around my favorite curve and see the stacks of the power plant, or have ToGo's, or go around the Island, or sleep on my Grandma's crisp iron laden sheets, or smell the air of my Mqt.
I told my little trinity they had to play in the shade late in the afternoon because I was way too lazy to put more sunscreen on everyone. (give me a break, it was 4pm, C'mon!)
The other night I had a bowl of Frosted MiniWheats for dinner and then an hour later a beer. Healthy huh?
I forgot to put an appetizer on someones bill at work and still feel like I should pay for it out of my pocket.
I picked out a card for the kids to give their Dad on Father's Day instead of making them make one for him.
I dreamt of wearing a suit and heels and walking into a publishing firm with a manuscript and ignored a phone call that read HOME on my cell phone. Isn't this bad?
So there we are.
All accounted for. What's your dump list this week? Anyone care to share their guilt log?
Accountability makes for a nice little kick in the rear.
Until next time.
My love, all my love,
Cassy

Just want to say congrats on your first step toward your business venture! In my book you are already a success by showing your kids that momma's going to follow a dream! Love it! My "someday venture" (as of today) will be an Alpaca Farm but first I will get everyone potty trained...
