Here's a thought!

So here I am, husband out of town and kind of stranded because the only vehicle left for me to drive with two small children is "the beast." An old truck that doesn't have radio or even air! I think I am suppose to learn something here in this place of boredom. Like what to be grateful for, the simple things in life, and what my purpose is? I have heard that purpose question so much that it's kind of old and blah. But really, when you suddenly have to take time off from your busy work schedule and you are not doing much but thinking about what you should be doing, or what needs to get done now that you finally have time to do it but you STILL don't want to do it. Then the laziness sets in and you feel like a complete loser and you start to understand some of those crazies out there that are bored and have too many thoughts going on in their head!

Remember when you were younger and summer was approaching and you couldn't wait because you had all of these things you were going to do? Then you found yourself lounging around thinking about all of those things you wanted to do but haven't done just yet. You are just lying around, reading, watching movies and keeping cool inside...but back then it was no big deal because you had no responsibilities.

I was reading my my past posts and a few of them had some empty promises. I don't think I really actually promised anything but I did say I would post stuff that I didn't which is the whole point of blogging and I failed. Let me tell you, I had really good intentions but when you are a working mother with two small children, some things take the back seat. Having children and a life outside of children was once best described to me like having a "ball and chain." When you find yourself married with children and you are trying to plan out your days for work or for friends and family, you have to constantly pick up your ball and chain before you can move in any direction! That can really slow things down and even though it is a beautiful thing, (maybe your ball is a beautiful pink) it is heavy and you can't just let it drag behind you. And sometimes you need to rest that leg.

So I'm resting and writing...I do love to write! I love to share and ask questions and get feedback. If I could interview you and have a glass of wine with you I would! We can pretend though...What are you doing tonight? What did you cook for dinner? What do you think about summer? Do you have the children + husband + work figured out? I would love to hear about it and how you make it all work and have time for make-up!

I probably won't get any feedback but maybe one day someone will comment and tell me something interesting! In the meantime, I will post this with no expectations (something I learned from a book called "The Four Agreements") and I will not be checking my email to see if anyone commented! I wonder if anyone ever posts while drunk??? I'm not drunk by the way...just popped in my head.

So to make this about make-up, (it's a make-up blog) that black and white photo represents simplicity. Sometimes all of of those thoughts, crazy ideas in your head and complications of colors not blending, sometimes you need to keep it simple. Black and White & Timeless. Tinted Moisturizer, Concealor (under those tired eyes) Bronzer, Lipgloss and Mascara. The basics for summer days...and it should only take you less than 10 minutes! Cheers to the basics in life!

Better go attend to my 4 year old that should be in bed.
