Brain Declutter: I should be sleeping...

*I am trying to get over a head cold...I have been for several days now...I keep thinking I am better and then {WHAM} there it is again.  I even flushed my sinuses today to try to relieve the pressure that is making my face feel like it is about to explode. 

*Because of flushing my nose out I have come up with a plan.  The other day Jake asked me what I thought he should invent to become rich when he grows up (and even at 11 he still says I can live with him when he grows up...that makes my heart happy), and I have figured it out: an eye camera.  A contact lens that you wear all the time and whenever you want you can take a picture by just thinking it.  Great idea right?  No need to focus because your eye already is!  No need to use your hands just think it and it takes it and stores it.  I decided Jake needs to invent this because when I was flushing my nose in Ranee's bathroom, I looked up into the mirror only to see Ranee, Aaron, Addie Kate, Rere (Riannon's nickname and now that I have stated it I never will explain it again), Lala (ditto for Della), and Jeremy was in the hall all watching me in anticipation.  I wish I had a camera.  Jake would have been there but he was staying at my mom's and dad's.  He would have taken pity on my I a sure...No he probably would want to see me flush my nose so he could laugh too...But any way get working on the contact lens camera Jake.

*Now that I have mentioned the contact lens camera I will be sure to see that it already available and my million dollar idea vanishes...

*I just watched Pride and Prejudice and I have decided to force Aaron to watch it.  I have seen his favorite movies and it is only fair that he watched mine, right?  And yes I do love the newest version of it with Keira Knightly.  I know some die hard Jane Austen fans turn up there noes to it but I love it.  Ardently...If you are a Jane fan than you will have caught the whole ardently thing and chuckled to yourself for being so smart as to have caught it.  If not than you should go read Pride and Prejudice.  I need to read it again...

*For that matter I just need to read.  I have been taking so much time getting ready for the craft show (which, by the way, turned out to be a glorified yard sale..a flea market at best...) that I haven't been reading.  I need to break out the Kindle and fire up a classic.  There are still 2...maybe 3 Jane books I haven't read and I need today...Lady Susan is one of them.  I can't remember the other one...or two.  I need to finish the Hobbit since Aaron doesn't think I will.  It is good, really it is but I am a girl and it is kind of a boy book.  I know, I know there are girls out there rolling there eyes at this comment but it is true.  Maybe if I read a Jane book too it will balance out.

*I need to go to sleep.

*I feel like I have been a miserable person lately. I need to change that.  I need to be nice again.  I feel like my mind automatically is thinking in sarcasm, eye rolling and the pointing out of flaws that  sometimes it slips out....a lot.  I need to be nicer.  I need to see people the way Heavenly Father does.  Not as the fool who didn't have their blinker on and if they had I would have known I could have gone...Or the person cashier who rude.  I need to think of them the way the Lord would.  I am going to work on that starting immediately. 

*I am working on time management and procrastinating too.  I am bad at both of those things...big time.  For that reason I am proud of myself for saying I am starting immediately instead of saying tomorrow.  Baby steps into a better me...

*Good night. :)
