Should be in bed....

....but for some reason I'm just sitting here. I finished scrapping a page and don't have time to start another. I could go to bed since I've been up since about quarter to six this morning, but still here I sit. Maybe it's the sound of the rain steadily falling outside. There's just something about rain that I love. Cloudy days and rain do something for me that sunshine does for most. Don't get me wrong, I do love a healthy dose of sunshine as much as the next person, but I love cloudy days more!! It's supposed to be like this tomorrow and Saturday too. I can't wait!!

This morning I voluntarily woke up at 5:45. It was difficult, but the thought of having some early morning 'me' time was awesome, so out of bed I climbed. I got a quick shower before Nate left for work and then I settled in to watch 'Food, Inc.' on Netflix since I didn't catch it on PBS last night. I thought for sure the girls would be up early, but I was able to watch the whole thing. It was such an eye-opening movie. I did have to turn my head at some parts, but overall I was very impressed. Definitely helped solidify the changes I've made in my thoughts on food in the past month and a half. I feel so fortunate that we live in a community where we're able to buy local. I know where our meat, eggs, milk and fruits and vegetables come from. It feels good to support our local farmers and to know that those things we eat/drink come from at most 20 miles away. I told Nate that he needs to watch it too. I think everyone should - I know that not everyone cares, but they should at least know what goes on. One of the parts that was so sad to me was the family with the young daughter who really wanted the pears at the grocery store, but they decided they couldn't buy them because they would only get like 2 or 3 of them for a dollar. That was too expensive. So very heartbreaking that that poor girl doesn't even have a choice. Her family feels like they don't have a choice. *sigh*

I'm so happy that tomorrow is Friday. Libby's got school in the morning. I am so ready for the school year to be over. I still find it hard to get used to the preschool schedule of M/W/F in the mornings. I guess I should enjoy that now because next year is going to be really sad. I can't imagine having to spend the whole day without her. I'm going to miss that girl so much!! I know Claire will too. I'm very excited to make the most of the summer and really enjoy our time together.

Well I'm yawning about every 3 minutes now, so I'm gonna take that as a sign that I need to sleep. I'll be back tomorrow with new scrapbook pages to share.
