Organized chaos.

Once again i bemoan my lack of pictures or colorful anecdotes. i have neither....my imagination is a bit caged up.
i straightened up kitchen and organized a few junk drawers. that lightened my mind a bit. why is it that the clutter of your surroundings creates clutter in your mind and of course the same in reverse?
hubby and i had a lovely anniversary outing. we made a few improvement deals over dairy queen before our movie. one of them was that until january 26 i am not aloud to complain when his family calls him or when he calls them. no matter the circumstances i am to be silent on the issue. there are extreme circumstances of course but you get the drift. he is delighted with the arrangment....i am praying for strength. my goal is to be so used to keeping my peace on the issue after a month that i have learned to be more graceful at all times with it...or i hope he grows some understanding into why their behaviours upset me...or both. we shall see.
then we watched "marley and me" and i cried....and then we had santino's pizza and talked about the next few years and how we are going to handle our new leaf. its scary and exciting.
i found my baby girl on the second step up, attempting to climb the third. ready or not mommy...
