Some things I cannot live without

• A daily Madeira tea (or two)
• fresh air and long walks
• soft lighting
• seeing the faces of my children everyday
  
• the internet

Some things that I don't bother with:

• using pegs to hang laundry
• drying dishes (let them drip dry....one less thing to do)
• Baby change tables (furniture clutter)
• Rude people

Types of people I'd rather avoid:

• Exhibitionists
• over confident drivers
• grumps and pessimists

Some instant pick-me ups:

• A "Gloria Jeans" Decaf Latte
• spending 5 minutes to apply cream and make up in the morning
  
• cleaning and/or reorganizing furniture
• washing and straightening my hair
• spending quality time with my boys
  
• clean fresh clothes

Things I'm lovin' right now:

• The boys going to bed at 7:00!
• My new thick, warm cardi.
• girls nites (one coming up tomorrow night at Jo and Sharif's!)
• Haydn's playfulness
• My feather doona
  

If I could change my life tomorrow:

• I would live the simple life on acreage by the sea
