It's so hot.

That's what I kept thinking the other day as I was subbing in a non-air conditioned school... in my slacks... because I have no capris that fit.

But, as I was sitting there all day (I had 3 hours with students -- the rest.. empty.), checking my reader, I read this post.

Basically, it is about the blessings of a small home. Which got me thinking...


I love the idea of simple living. Especially lately. I know that people may not understand why, if we have the money, won't I just do this or that, or buy this or that for my home. I also know they may not understand why we chose breast-feeding for the first 7ish months of Lil's life. Or why we chose to switch to cloth diapers. Or why we feel it is important for me to raise our children.

I should also say that I do not judge others for choosing to formula feed their disposable diapered, day-cared child. To each their own. That's my point.

I may not do things the way you do it. But, at the same time -- you don't do things the way I'd do them.

OK -- back to the point --

Simple living.

I just find it an attractive life-style. No frills -- just the necessities to make your life comfortable. Notice I'm not talking about the stripped life-style. I'm still saying crafts are ok, even spending the frivolous few dollars here and there.

I just mean, I don't need a new car every 2 years. I don't need name-brand. I don't need to hire some one to clean for me or do my yard work.

This post is ridiculously un-focused. Sorry. But it is something I am coming to realize. I don't need my life to be filled with things or activities or money. I need my life full of people I love. And ones that love me back.

Rant over. Enjoy your day.
