You make time for what you want!

So, I am a firm believer in...you make time for what you want to make time for. For instance, exercise. I know some of you will hate me for saying it, but if you want to exercise, you'll find the time. "No time" is not an excuse in my book. Anyway, today was a very busy packing day, running errands, taking kids to and from sports (soccer and football have now started...maybe Hope needs to start gymnastics or something, just kidding), we even went up to the new school and had a look around. How then, did I find the time to head to the mall in Oregon about 25 minutes away and go shop the REI End of Season Sale? Because it was a priority. Yes, in deed, I needed those Keens. In fact, the deals were so good, just about everybody in our family needed a new pair of shoes. Really, my feet needed the comfort for walking around in Disney, right?

The point of the story is this, I got up early to go run, and we were out the door by 9:15. I showered, even did my hair, got dressed and thought I had put on my makeup. I thought. It wasn't until we were in Sports Authority (Hunter HAD to have new cleats before his second practice-his feet have grown apparently) that I looked at myself in the mirror and realized, I had put on ALL of my other makeup-except mascara! If you know me, you know, I don't leave the house without mascara. I even put mascara on to run, most of the time. Either mascara or sunglasses. I'm really not fancy, it's just how I am. My eyelashes are very blond, and I guess it's just an insecurity thing. But I ran all over town today without my mascara on. I looked weird too. Hunter said, "I thought there was something wrong!" It goes to show you how frazzled I was thing morning. hahahahaha

I really must go and finish packing, because that isn't quite done yet. But hey, I'll have good shoes on my feet! Farewell, I'll see you on the other side of the Disney trip! I can't wait. No sleep for me tonight :)

I've done that! I'm a mascara/lipstick gal. I don't leave the house without those two items. Everything else doesn't matter. But I've done it before! Enjoy your trip!

I went to church a couple of weeks ago without the mascara and didn't notice it until I got home and looked in the mirror. Oh well. I'm surprised people didn't ask me if I was sick.
Sure glad you got those shoes at REI.
