p.s.

this is one of those stories that i should not share about myself but.....
i decided to give myself a facial while i was posting the last two entries. i put on a peel off mask. i guess i didn't realize how long it was taking me and by the time i got back to the sink it was way past the peel off stage (maybe chip off with a chisel stage). i had to wet it in order for it to peel. the add on the front of the packet said something like, radiance is just below the surface. i hope i didn't peel all the radiance off because that facial sure went way below the surface....

as cheesy as this is going to be i have decided to say it anyway (kinda like telling those stories that make people question my true hair color.) staying on course with the "going below the surface" theme. i have really had a great time while josh has been away to do some self reflection. it is scary what you can find when you start doing that. i have realized that just below the surface is a fun loving carefree spirit in me that is waiting to be let out. i just need to learn to push aside that top layer of worry. i have taken more time to play with the girls and read an extra book at bedtime. sit down at the table and eat with them or do something silly just to make them laugh. i have learned through the lack of josh's help that if everything is not done by the end of the day it just isn't going to get done. if i am stressed before i even get out of bed in the morning about the amount of things to do that day i just need to cut something out. these are hard concepts for me to learn because apparently i don't like to stop worrying. i feel like i have to get everything done in one day and like my husband i have a hard time saying no even when i really can't.

so i have discovered a little more about my body art (previous post) and i think the picture is turning out to be a bit better.

anyway my advice for the day, slow down and enjoy it...
and beware of facials and blogging at the same time ;)...
