12 of 12 January

Thursday, January 2012

I am beginning a new project/goal this year. I got the idea from a blog I read. The blog is on my sidebar as "my words." The project is called 12 0f 12. You can visit her blog to get more info if you'd like. I personally don't know her, but I love her pictures.
Basically, 12 of 12 is every 12th day of each month I'll post 12 photos that I want to remember from that day. I'll post this on the 13th since the 12th day is when I'll actually be taking the pictures. I like this idea because it will help motivate me to write more on this blog. It'll help me to remember what my daily life consists of. It'll help me to remember to use my camera. Hope you enjoy this as much as I do.

01. I have been walking the boys to school lately. Usually, Jon takes them, but he has been working constantly and usually on conference calls.
02. Wednesday was a bad day for me. I was tired and not motivated to clean. Thus the reason the kitchen looked like a tornado flew thru it and the next day Thursday was the aftermath.
03. I put my leggings on. I always feel motivated to clean and work-out just by putting these tight pants on. Just wish my butt was a little firmer, but the reality is what it is.
04. My daily or almost daily trip thru the drive-thru at Wendy's to get my diet coke. They have the best Diet Coke EVER!
05. Weekly trip or even maybe the bi-weekly trip to Target. Ran out of deodorant. Plus, now they have groceries so I bought meat and snacks.
06. The weather has been summer-like here. We took our daily trip to the park. The dog, 4 kids and me. Grace is throwing the dog the ball in this picture.
07. Micah jumping out of the tree. David is right behind him trying to catch up. Lucas too jumped later. I wonder what people think of my mothering skills as I take pictures of my kids jumping out of trees. Ummmm. Don't know. Don't know if I care.
08. The boys dishing out their ice-cream. David insisted in dishing out his own. Same with Luke.
09. Jon and Luke playing air-hockey. Good competition. Grace as usual insists on Jon holding her.
10. By the end of the night, after dinner, after ice-cream, the kitchen is finally clean.
11. The book I'm currently reading. Very interesting and enjoyable to read. I like it.
12. Jon back to work in "his corner." He has been working at least 15 hour days. Last night he even slept on the couch and was checking the blackberry every hour, making calls to far away countries (i don't remember specifics). He was exhausted this morning. Poor guy. Love him to pieces.

Well, that sums up the day. It was productive and I had fun capturing the moments.
