Thankful for my "real life"

My real life often starts with a cup of my favorite tea in my favorite mug.
Then I'm off and running, taking the teens to high school, Grant to piano practice, Julia to the library.

I spend a lot of time sitting in the car.... waiting.
So I entertained myself by taking a few silly pictures.

While we waited for the library to open, Julia sat beside me and made faces in the mirror.
Most of them looked like this...


But some turned out like this...

We spent the rest of the day doing school work, laundry, dishes, etc...
I even got a facial, but that is NOT my "REAL life", just a nice little birthday present to me.

Now I'm home, blogging, waiting for dinner to be done and listening to Grant practice piano, which looks a little like this...

Hey, I start every morning with Stash Orange Spice (and end my day with decaf Chai)! Love the piano shot - now I want to try that.

You have a sweet girl there to spend some real life time with. Love your last shot of the piano, too. =)

You have some new people visiting your blog and commenting...very nice. I too like the picture of Grant at the piano and Julia's sweet smile. And to think I missed enjoying this day with you.
