Yesterday is the first day in over a year where I didn't write. I came home, ate dinner, and crashed out by about 7 pm. I didn't wake up enough to write until 10 am this morning, so at that point, I decided not to do it. I was so tired from this week and … Continue reading January 5: I skipped a day!

January 3: titles?
I'm not really sure about my titles for this anymore. I did this as a year challenge, and I succeeded, so now I'm not sure if I need to add the year to the title dates or what. I don't want to add the years, so I won't, but how to keep the days separate? … Continue reading January 3: titles?
December 28: yep, I’m sick
I finally got what I think is my first virus of the 18-19 school year. Usually I get it in September and by now I'm onto my second cold, but this autumn was unusually healthy in the virus department. I picked it up from Anders, who came down with it on Christmas. Dak said he … Continue reading December 28: yep, I’m sick
December 27: getting sick?
Today is Dak's birthday and I feel so bad I haven't been able to celebrate much because I've been super sick with something. My guts hurt so bad I thought I might have to go to the hospital, and tonight my throat is starting to hurt. Anders had a virus, so I'm may be coming … Continue reading December 27: getting sick?
December 26: almost forgot
I almost forgot to write today! I was almost asleep, then boom: go write! So here I am. There is a virus sweeping into our house and I've been trying to keep clean and safe from it. I've fallen asleep four times since I started writing this. It's after midnight and I'm exhausted. Thanks for … Continue reading December 26: almost forgot
December 24: Christmas Eve
I'm not sure why, but my family always celebrated Christmas on Christmas Eve night. I should really ask my mom when we started that tradition. I like it because I am glad I don't have to get up and be awake and look good in the morning on Christmas. Also, I can't imagine trying to … Continue reading December 24: Christmas Eve
December 18: repetitive
I feel like I get really repetitive here sometimes. I have a few topics that always seem to be spinning in my mind: my physical health, my mental health, my kids, my job and those kids, the need sometimes, and sleep. That's about it. Lately I've been so tired in the evening that I'll be … Continue reading December 18: repetitive
December 17: last Monday of the year
Today was the last school Monday of 2018. I know that's a small thing to celebrate, but it's also awesome to think about. This year has gone by slow in some ways, but really fast in others. It's kind of weird to think about it. This school year has been challenging because of a lack … Continue reading December 17: last Monday of the year
December 10: dramatic readings by 9 year olds
My daughter is reading her picture books to me as dramatically as possible. Right now, she is reading Pig the Pug books to me with more energy than seems possible. I wish I had that kind of energy ever, let alone at 9:45 at night. She has great potential as a speech team member in … Continue reading December 10: dramatic readings by 9 year olds
December 8: exhausted
The sun hasn't been out in ages and it seems to be getting to me. Tonight I laid down and promptly began to sleep... and dream about weird things: I dreamt I was pregnant again, I dreamt I was stuck in space (that was no doubt thanks to the new Avengers trailer). All of this … Continue reading December 8: exhausted
