Week In The Life : Wednesday

That is one of my favorite quotes of all time. I want to print or paint it big and put it above the garage door into the house to read when I get home from work.

Wednesday was really yucky! Must be middle of week blues and I don't even have children! Am loving this project and the fact that you are so willing to share of yourself with us. Thank you for this class, Ali, and the digital downloads, they are awesome.

Glad to you know that I'm not the only one that was lagging a little yesterday. A long (busy) day, a tactless comment left of my blog to be found (and deleted), leaves me a little dry. Love the quote.
(And after your food posts, you have me hungry for cantalope!) : )
My Wednesday: http://herdofsteph.blogspot.com/2010/04/week-in-life-wednesday.html

I LOVE this quote. It works especially well for some of my students.

Thanks for the quote...needed this today!

I LOVE your quotes - was just thinking a similar thing with yesterday... and I love your leftover dishes - about to do mine now... and I love your shower curtain! random eh? really do love the quotes most though...

I started Monday but yesterday felt the same as you. We are having (and will continue to have) such a busy, event-filled week this week. I thought it would be a great way to document all these milestone events, such as birthdays and school plays but I was so busy yesterday I really struggled with remembering to take pictures. But I snapped a few and am trying for a fresh start today. Still really enjoying this project and I can't wait to see how it all comes together. :)

i hope you have a nice thursday. when you write i can relate to so much of it. in some way we are all juggling, our homes, the routines, our families, jobs, things we enjoy and some days just go better than others but in the end there is also so much to be thankful for.

I, too, want to thank you for the quote. It is much needed here...not only today...
I know you surely have your own difficulties, sorrows, and hardships - but at the moment I would definitley love to have a life like yours...but working on my attitude will have to suffice ;o)

Oh i love this quote! I too want to print it out and hang it somewhere so i can see it every day. I love the quotes you put on here...they always help me put things in perspective.

Yesterday I was absolutely fried and my kids were wholly uncooperative. Go figure.
Either way, it's a NEW day and I am so grateful to you for the inspiration to see it that way!
Thank you for ALL you do, Ali!

I, too, had a harder time of it yesterday. Took plenty of photos but just didn't have the time or maybe energy to write anythimg down. But today is a new day! Thanks for the inspiration.

Thanks for this Ali. I saw your tweet yesterday of "taking a really deep breath", and figured you were having one of those days. I think I have at least one really big sigh a day, as I sometimes less than graciously accept the reality of my less than perfect life. I'm really glad you showed your kitchen in the morning. Love that - and how one simple sentence or word with a sequence of pictures beautifully told the story of your day.

Wow, I also feel like that..... But I have kept on. I must still do the documemting.

I added that quote to my diet tracking journal. It's good for the days when food becomes an emotional crutch and I can't concentrate on the "why" of why I'm making changes to my eating habits.
It's also good for those days when I've been extremely grumpy for no good reason.
I'm glad it's helping you too. :)

I just want to say to you Ali and to all the moms out there. Having young adult children 19 & 23, I can't tell you what I would give to go back in time for just one week and do this project. My daughter always used to watch out the window for Daddy to come home from work...my son and all his thomas trains & legos...and the books...wow we always read books. When you all are having a bad day and as Ali said " life is full of ups and downs and ins and outs and grumpiness and dirty diapers and laundry and dishes and whining and spills ", please remember it all goes by too fast...I know it sure doesn't feel like it at times but believe me it really does. This is an awesome project and a big AMEN to that quote!

Have a GREAT day today!
Enjoy every second!
It must be hard to have a baby
that young that only naps one nap
and only an hour long. My two
girls NEVER napped, unless I napped
with theM! and I couldn't do that every day.
they mostly would take a 15 minute "cat nap"
and be done. so I KNOW that's rough!
hang in there! have fun with it!
your pictures are turning out awesome!
I LOVE when you do these weeks!
I am doing mine next week!

I havent been able to do this this week but I am so excited to give this a try! I like the idea of a mini book but LOVE a full 12x12 book of 'Several Weeks in the Life'! Thanks for the inspiration and the guidance on it!

I too had a bad day yesterday, so I really appreciate the quote. But it wasn't a bad day in terms of Week in the Life - I took way more pictures than usual (151 vs. 31 on Monday and 4 on Tuesday). I also journaled a lot more. Trying to embrace the positive!

wednesday was hard for me too. . . felt like my life is sort of being left by the curb. not many pictures. some tears. more about the journaling and paper gathering today. here's to a brighter thursday!
