appointments and reminders

mine is a filofax a5 malden, kaylee's is from target

1. i've kept appointment books for awhile now and am kicking myself for not keeping all my old ones even if they didn't hold anything grand, just memories of oil changes and dentist appointments.

2. thanks to pinterest and instagram, i've seen how pretty and neat they can look and its how i wanted  mine to look but wasn't sure just how i wanted mine to look.

3. so one night this weekend, kaylee and i started to write and doodle and it started to look like how i wanted it- pretty and simple yet it still documents appointments, dinners and daily to-do's.

4. i really love the feel and look of my maldens [i have a pocket being used as a wallet, a personal and a5]  but i'm thinking the personal and a5 might be too soft to write on and to carry around so i ordered the a5 original in green. oh so pretty green!

5. it's suppose to be here tomorrow but not sure now. i just received a text message from kaylee's dentist canceling all appointments for tomorrow because of icy weather.

6. i had an a-ha moment this weekend. remember how i was kinda in the blah's and having a bad case of the IBL's?

7. well, it came to me that i shouldn't care if i don't have that exciting life i crave for or any friends to talk too. i have 3 people and a furry one, who loves me and needs me on a daily basis.

8. and that is why i am here. to take care of them and to love them with my whole heart. i can't do that if i'm feeling sorry for myself.

9. i want my time with them to be happy ones. ones where my daughter will remember us singing and dancing while dinner is cooking, my husband to think he has the best wife in the world and my son to remember how he could always call his mom even at 4AM. [he did that last night, guess the fire alarm was going off at his apartment building]

10. granted i will still have those moments because i am only human and i am female but i need to remind myself these things and thats where that planner comes in handy.
