Manic Monday: Fire

When I am on fire, my blog suffers. I have stayed busy elsewhere and my poor blog sits on the back burner...the really back burner, maybe of a whole different stove. In my defense, I was actually going to post yesterday. After a busy day, I finally got around to posting and my laptop wouldn't connect to the internet. Let's just say I had a whole new fire burning inside...one that screamed and threw mental tantrums that I couldn't have my end of the day internet escape. Oh well.

So, on to the actual post...

There are really so many ways I could go with this, so I chose just a few and I'm going with Polly's dictionary...with multiple definitions.

Fire:
1. Aidan: Gaelic: Little fire; warmth of the home. My busy 2-year old. He truly is full of warmth. Sometimes his little fire has a bit too much fuel, but his sweet spirit is even bigger.

2. Although I don't have a very long list of work experience, I have never been fired. There are moments that I wish for vacation time, but hopefully I won't be fired from my current and most important job. I love it. It's my mom job. Some days, I think I deserve to be fired, but luckily, my clients (AKA my husband and kids) are forgiving and give me lots of second chances. I love them with all my heart and soul!

3. Excitement, passion.
On Saturday, I had a lot of this. I took off (on a whole day of vacation from my mom job) with friends from church to go to a meeting, followed up with play time. I enjoyed some great speakers who reignited my passion for planning and financial control. This is already something I have a pretty firm handle on, but I love to feel the fire of the control of it all, and I love sharing it with others.
After talking about good budgeting, we went to a totally budget concious movie..."Confessions of a Shopaholic". LOL Incidentally, if anyone wants to see it, I'm your movie buddy.
Then we went shopping. It's something that excites me. What can I say ...well. Nothing, really.
