Wondering Times

I am wondering

.: If K's mangled and beat up lunch basket will make it through these last few days of school.



.: Can I get through a Zimmermann pattern without pumping myself up with coffee?

.: When will we get these flannel sheets off of our bed and move on to summer sheets. It's June, Father Sun, please warm us up now! Not to mention when on earth we will paint these unpleasant shade of red walls in our bedroom.



.: How will we manage without baby L's guardian angel, aka C's teacher, who is moving to California this summer.



.: If I will have any hair left after this crazy postpartum hair loss period. I think there is more of my hair around the house than there is on my head.

.: Thinking it maybe time for a hair cut due to the aforementioned hair loss.

.: Will Kevin's job ever let up so we can see him more often then just the weekends (Literally, he usually leaves for work before the girls wake up and doesn't make it home until hours after they have gone to bed).




.: As our first magical year of school comes to an end, I am wondering how we will survive the summer break.

.: If K's vast imagination will ever cease to amaze me.



.: What will our kitties do when baby L outgrows his kitty bed, ahem, I mean moses basket.



.: Will our strawberry season ever arrive? I am just itching to make some honey sweetened strawberry jam among many other things.



.: If you will join me tomorrow for a giveaway from one of my talented sponsors?

See you then!

This so beautifully represents the many layers of thoughts that settle in a mama's head at any given moment...made me smile. Have a beautiful day! (oh, and after a cold April, rainy May, and cloudy June, we're starting to see a TINY bit of sun...our wild strawberry patch is just dying for it!...we're in Ontario)...

Thank you!
Do our minds ever really stop?
Kevin and I have been discussing living in Canada lately, it just seems so beautiful and open there....
Strawberry season is long gone down here. We can still find them fairly well priced in the store but not at the farmers market anymore. Much to my oldest son's dismay.

Hair loss: My hair finally stopped falling out nearly a year after the Beast was born. A year. Sigh. So now I have lots and lots of those not-long-enough hairs that get in my eyes when we drive with the windows down.

Oh goodness, I forgot about when the hair grows back and you get those short annoying pieces. eeek!

Our strawberries are finally showing up!
Hugs and strength to you. My husband works long hours too. It is very hard. Knitting is always the answer for me! :)

Ha,ha me too! Knitting really is my stress relief.
Thank you
I am full of wondering myself lately. I always enjoy your photos so much...such a gentle household. Alas, mine has four boys ages 4, 6, 8 and 10, so things are decidedly less gentle and I am quite certain very much noisier!
Love to you Nicole, all will be well...

We had to buy a new lunch box a few weeks ago...just couldn't make it through the end of the year :-) So sorry to hear about L's guardian angel leaving...ours is leaving, too. And the summer is upon us. DH's working way too many hours. Oh why can't we just be neighbors?!? :-) Love that sweet photo of K...she really is an angel! Joining you in the wondering about these and so many other things.

:( We do need to live closer!!
Mmmm, those strawberries promess so much....
Not sure if this is true for you, but 2011 seems to be the year of wondering. Which is a nice change for me from worrying!
It is amazing to me that so many likeminded folks are pondering the bigger picture along with me.

I can so relate to the postpartum hair loss! Goodness, around four-five months out i was shedding like crazy, and was sweeping and mopping twice as much just to keep up! Thankfully, it passed, and as far as I can tell there is still hair on my head after all ;) So hope it eases up for you, too!

My husband works long hours as well...makes me wish sometimes that we were just full-time farmers, so that if he were going to be working long hours it would be at our own place, and at least I'd see him out in the field and when he came in for food! ;)
