Today’s stories include one that’s short and sweet but was one of the
best I wrote (I think.) And the other is a week in the life view of Becky at
9:15am. How funny that this time last year 9:15am would have mean still
unpacking my stuff onto my desk and grabbing my first cup of coffee? Now…I’m
two hours or more into my work day. It’s good stuff.
Story 14:
View
As I sit here at 5:10 pm on
Wednesday, my view is of my beautiful and vivacious daughter running around the
soccer field and my handsome Little Man drinking ice water in the stroller next
to me.
It’s me in my workout clothes
ready to leave here and hit the treadmill to see if I can make it through Week
1 of my new Couch 2 5 K app. It's Andrew in his plaid shorts and orange polo
shirt, looking just like his Daddy, as he points at his sister and grins. It's
Allyson in her white soccer cleats and pink and black Adidas soccer socks who
is taking a quick water break before she heads back out on the field. We're
only missing Steve who is hard at work for his family and working late because
it's the end of the month.
This is the view I've been
waiting for all day. This is the view I wanted to write about. This is the view
that matters. Soccer and sunshine, a little exercise and playing peekaboo. This
is my view...and my life...and I love everything about it.
Story 15:
9:15am
I couldn’t just write about 9:15 on one day. It would
kill me to waste a whole prompt writing about what I saw on my stinkin’
computer screen at that time. I decided to make this one a bit different. A
Week in the Life at 9:15am.
Monday
9:15am – Memorial Day and a much loved day off from
the office. Steve’s home. We slept in and at 9:15 we’re making breakfast for
the kiddos. French toast and bacon. YUM-MO!
Tuesday
9:15am – Feeling a little lost at work because the two
projects I’m working on are kind of at a standstill. I’m stuck between telling
my boss I need another project and then having the two I’m working on pick up
steam causing me to be completely overwhelmed. Not the greatest of places.
Wednesday
9:15am – More of the same work stuff. On this day I
started to think about my sister-in-law who is due with my nephew in August. A
couple of her friends are throwing her a shower and I decided to butt in to see
what I could help with. This is my nephew – I can’t NOT be involved in some way!
Thursday
9:15am – I decided to send out an email for a Freezer
Meal Party I’m having at the end of June. I am super excited about the party
because the Wildtree products we’ll be using are delicious AND friends will
come with a few groceries and leave with 10 freezer meals that can be prepared
in less than 20 minutes. How cool is that for busy families?
Friday
9:15am – Worked from home this and was listening to
Pandora while responding to email. It was bizarre being at home without the
kids – they were at Auntie ‘Chele’s house and I was going to pick them up
later. The silence, however, allowed me to get some work done. Both for work
and for home. Nothing like finishing a loads of laundry on breaks between
conference call.
Saturday
9:15am – Madly getting ready for to take Allyson to
dance class at 10. At 9:15 she was dressed and eating breakfast. Pink leotard,
pink socks and hair in a bun. I love that she loves dance. And we’re only a
couple Saturdays away from her recital.
Sunday
9:15am – Was a sleep in day. But with small kiddos,
sleeping in is about 7:45. By 9:15 we were finishing up breakfast and planning
for a trip to the park with the kidlets. I think the day and this 9:15 was my
favorite of the whole week. Up and ready with the whole day ahead of us. Dishes
done and dinner defrosting on the counter. It was the start to a great spring
day.
