Today we had fun. It was a conscious decision: yesterday was house-cleaning and grocery day, and we wanted at least one family day this weekend. Fun today meant: Pancake breakfast Playing with baby Family nap! And reading (finishing Bossypants) Family bike ride! It was a bit cold so we stopped at the library and hung …
This week has definitely not been one of outstanding performance on any front. Tired. Sick. A bit low. Unmotivated. So, motivation: what is it, and why don’t I have more? I’ve been thinking about the things I sink my teeth into and the ones I don’t. I would like to figure out what it is …
Yes, it’s 11:30. Though I did, apparently, get a bit of a nap once baby finally fell asleep. Since 10:30 I have been: consulting with my husband; sending an important email concerning my volunteer obligations; wandering around trying to figure out what to do; snacking on corn chips and salsa; lamenting the fact that I …
After 10, just blogging, and wiped out. How does this happen night after night?? And how on earth am I going to find time to do writing and teach a course??? Anyone?
I have no recollection of what I planned to write about tonight. Baby’s bedtime took from 6 something until after 10. She actually went to sleep without a problem at 7, but woke up 15 minutes later. With lots of crying, we got out of bed instead of staying there. Videos on the computer finally …
Baby up at 5:30. Really?? Though I realize that for most parents, and anyone fasting, that’s no big deal. She kept going until around 12:30 when my husband got home and I handed over responsibility. We cuddled and played a lot in bed, did some important work (laundry, unloading the dishwasher), and played with blocks …
I’m grateful that I’m not really sick.I’m grateful I got to spend time with my sister and niece today. I’m grateful that I got to share my faith with a group tonight. I’m grateful that my daughter nursed just before I left and fell asleep with her dad right away – and slept the whole …
When I stop and enumerate all the things I feel guilty about, I feel … well … kind of guilty! It’s quite ridiculous the long and often contradictory list of items that I let myself feel badly about on a regular basis. Tonight I did my best to let go of some of these. After …
Up, down. Back, forth. Be, do. As I mentioned to a friend today, I feel like I flip-flop between opposites each day I post. Am I learning anything? Am I making some progress? It’s hard to tell from here. I want to take time to reflect on this, and I also don’t want to stew …
8:12 p.m. Baby is not asleep, though she is tired and fell asleep on the drive home. It’s been two somewhat long and whiny, cryie days around here. I am tired. and a bit frustrated. I had dreams of rolling her into bed and getting a lot of stuff done. That is not going to …
