Eventful

Last night the internet was totally down.  Like couldn't get a signal.  Which I took as a divine sign that I wasn't meant to write--I mean, when the Universe sends you a message--You LISTEN!

So, I curled up and fell asleep in three minutes.  Not a joke because it was an insane day (do I write this all the time?  I'm pretty sure I have an insane day EVERY day) and great all at the same time.  Popcorn about did me in, Thank you Phoebe.

But as result of everyone working really hard together and the INSANE generosity of all our friends, Phoebe now has almost 3/4 of her costs covered!!  THANK YOU EVERYONE!  Honestly, we are totally feeling the love (I mean, mostly Phoebe, but I can't tell you how much I feel it too!  Makes my heart feel all melty and soft and so grateful . . . )!

Blessing.  I don't even need to look for these.  They're just hitting us right in the face.

Which brings me to another bit of awesomeness:  John starts work on Monday.

True story.

You may all do a happy dance and shout out loud "glory glory hallelujah!" because I can't stop!

And . . . Phoebe got asked to Prom.

So, yeah, blessings.  BLESSINGS.

The Best Kind of Tired

  My often daily life . . . (John is two feet away—I can’t do all of them by myself) Last week, every single time I sat down, I almost instantly fell asleep.  I kept telling John, I have the sleeping disease.  What is going on?  Am I getting old?  Is it the covid after effects?  What on earth? He didn’t have any answers for me because he was doing the same thing.   We didn’t really do anything for seven days straights.   And our kids joined us in the sleepy, do nothing, lazy slug bug state. It wasn’t until this morning as I was looking over the pictures of the summer that I realized why. . . We literally haven’t stopped ALL summer long—one awesome amazing trip/visit/fun after the other.  It’s like we are making up for last years “staycations.”  Holy hannah have we ever made up for it.  Just about did ourselves in playing and hugging and kissing and caring for babies. Highlights of the summer (in no particular order): Cousin sleepove...

Green Bananas

What I miss the very mostest about being young is that ability to forget everything but the very moment you are in. If you are tired, you sleep. If you are hungry, you eat. If you want to read, you pick up a book and read. If you want to watch a movie/show/tv, you sit your little butt down and watch. If you're a mama, you have to think about nine thousand things before you do anything. If you are tired, you stay tired because you just don't have time to sleep. If you are hungry, you'd better go grocery shopping and get cooking because no one is really going to eat if you don't. If you want to read . . . well, you always want to read, but the laundry, cleaning, weeding, talking, caring, fixing, loving must happen before that happens. If you want to watch a movie, well, you can try, but really, you probably will just fall asleep. And be so happy for that sleep because you know, if you're me and you only watch tv with your whole family surrounding y...

Out with the Old, In with the New

Oh, yeah, I see that I wrote five times last year. Woot woot. Does that tell you what happened to my "hours and hours"? Yep, absorbed into the cares of life. This is what I dissevered after the first week, even though the kids were gone, I still had to get the same amount of laundry, grocery shopping, errand running, bill paying, house cleaning done.  It was actually an illusion to think I had all this time to do what I want--a beautiful illusion that kept me going for years, but an illusion none the less.  That said, having to do all the daily grind stuff WITHOUT five people begging, asking, demanding, complaining, and hollering for my attention is a lovely gift all in itself. So how do I spend my days?  Seeing as the blog insanity has died down and I'm quite sure pretty much no one will read this, I'll tell you! First, I get up between 5 and 5:20am to do some sort of exercise with John (we switch between running, yoga, and some sort of high intensity car...
