just thinkin'

Gibb's asleep. Thank goodness.
Robb's asleep. Thank goodness.

I'm not. It's been a rough couple of days--in many areas of my life. Gibb was scheduled to have surgery tomorrow (Wed.) to have his tumor (tiny little benign mass on his stomach muscle) taken out, but he's sick with a cold. I took him to the doctor today and we decided that it would be best to wait until the cold clears up...with my bad attitude I just thought, story of my life...what else will go wrong before some things start going right? Certainly not the right way to think of things, because there are many things that are right with my life. Too many things to count. I am so very blessed. And granted, I've hit a rough spot, but (like my husband has told me many times this past week) you just have to take it one step, one problem, one sad/ sweet/ disgruntled/ angry/ helpful/ grateful/ frustrated/ forgiving customer at a time. So that's what I'm doing. And I've started finally feeling okay, that I am doing the best that I can, in this moment.

I've also been getting crazy-inspired by the new fall clothes coming out at Anthropologie.



Geez Lousie. It doesn't get much prettier than that. I love the colors and the pattern and the cut...


























Oh, yes. I could totally wear that. And scrapbook with paper in that pattern. LOVE the bright/ happy colors against the mossy green. Really fantastic.


Anway. I'm off to lay in bed wishing I could fall asleep.

Let us rise up and be thankful, for if we didn't learn a lot today, at least we learned a little, and if we didn't learn a little, at least we didn't get sick, and if we got sick, at least we didn't die; so, let us all be thankful.

::sigh:: I think that may become my mantra.
Catch ya' later.
