I’ve been thinking a lot lately about what I don’t have, or what I think I don’t have. I was thinking about what I thought my life would be when I was married with kids. There were certain specific small things that I wanted. I wanted a husband who would lay in bed with me and talk late into the night. I wanted children who didn’t smear things on the wall, things like boogers and poop. And maybe I don’t have those specific small things, but it sort of hit me the other day. I have it. I have the life that I always wanted.

Emotions may not always follow reality, sometimes you don’t feel in love and sometimes you don’t feel like you want to be a mother. But the fact is that I’m in love with all of it.

I’ll continue to post pictures of the yarn pile as it grows.

Here’s the first of it. Books and Southwest Trading Company and lamps for the store. Notice that the first thing I did with the yarn was put it in correct rainbow color order. I’m obsessive that way. Today I’m expecting more in!!
