I finally made it to a bookstore today. Woohoo! I wanted to yell that as I made it inside. I wanted to celebrate and it felt so great to be in my favorite store again. It made me smile as I ran up the escalator to the second floor. I think they’ve been open for […]
The kids are in summer school/preschool at their school but we still don’t know of any plans for the regular school year starting in mid-August. There’s a part of me that’s hoping they just do online-only distance learning full time even though I know it’s going to drive me fucking nuts. The little eggs were […]
I prefer to stay home with the kids and not go to work but it is so emotionally and mentally draining at times due to having to be “on” constantly throughout the day. There are mini breaks here and there, yes, but not huge blocks of time when I’m not serving the needs of my […]
This COVID-19 pandemic just doesn’t seem like it’s ever going to end, or dissipate even. There are so many disagreements about so many aspects of the virus from how deadly it is to how to to prevent from getting sick with it. I’m so tired of it. So tired of reading about the idiocy and […]
I’ve been able to stick to 5 days straight meditating in the morning. I think I’ve done a longer streak but it’s been awhile. What’s different this time is that I’ve been doing it as part of my morning routine so I just end up flowing into it in the same spot, pretty much the […]
I feel like today is already a wash. I don’t know but I woke up with an erratic mind. I already meditated for about 10 minutes this morning but I didn’t do it that well either. I’m trying to get a grip and start over. I haven’t given up yet, just doing whatever I planned […]
Been trying to get to bed earlier so I can go back to waking up early like I did last year, but it’s just not happening. Both little ones still sleep with us at night. Pia has her toddler bed right next to my side and Leif sleeps in between me and Thomas. We’d put […]
The kids have gone back to school for the summer, just this one month in July, and then another program will be figured out for the regular school year starting mid-August. I’m still a bit anxious about them being in class with other students and I know there is an increased risk with them being […]
This is how a bit of my morning went. Not all of it. This is after I fed the kids breakfast, and the cats, and the one dog who’s still technically a puppy who needs to be fed twice a day instead of once like the others. It’s almost 11 o’clock in the morning. The […]
