Day 291:

Well, I'm not grateful for the Blogger app right now. It hasn't been working on my phone, and my energy/motivation/desire to charge and open up ye olde laptop is low low low. But I did it. For you. And then my laptop wouldn't connect to our wi-fi. What? For real? I zoned out on Facebook and email for 10 minutes on my phone before realizing that I could use my phone as a hotspot. So stick it, wi-fi.

I'm sick today. Like my whole face hurts from sinus sick. My husband took the kids outside so I could lie down, because he loves me. #grateful

In God's great mercy, the boys were really good this morning while I moped around coughing on everything and trying not to leave Kleenexes everywhere. We played the world's longest game of Uno, ending in a tie. The toddler played by himself in his room for a long time until I freaked him out by watching him on the video monitor. I had to move the camera to find him, since it's usually aimed at his crib, and the movement freaked him out. It's completely my fault if he becomes one of those people who is paranoid and develops all sorts of conspiracy theories. Anyway, we dropped off #2 at preschool and #3 slept until it was pickup time. I may have dozed off for 20 minutes, but I did "rest" for about an hour.

I'm hoping for a miracle healing tonight since we have our first new town playdate tomorrow. I feel like I've tried all the home remedies you can try. Damn you, virus.

Hey! Remember me?

Hey! I'm still here! I haven't given up on ye olde blog just yet, but I haven't had much to write about. I've been spending most of my time reading, mothering, household-running, reading, watching Instagram stories, and house hunting. Whew. Summer is flying by at breakneck speeds and I can barely keep up. I've read more books already than I did last year, which I think is saying a lot because I read more books last year than any year since I became a mother. I didn't set a number goal, but I did list out 10 or 15 that I wanted to get to. I've finished most, including the Harry Potters, but not all. It's a good reading year! Right now I'm reading one by a woman who gave up the Internet for a year. Insert scared emoji face. House hunting will likely be a whole separate post...someday. I have a few other posts in the rusty old brain, so we'll see if they come to fruition. I just didn't want you to forget about me!

Take Note!

I know a fair amount about myself, about my tendencies and my personality. I can't be the only one who likes finding out more about myself in this regard, as there are tons of profiles and quizzes and articles discussing these topics. I've known some things for a long while: I'm a reader.  I like things done correctly versus quickly. I'm an introvert.  I'm a picky eater, and I like mostly bland food.  I'm better at editing than writing.  I love organizing.  I dislike conflict. I'm a list-maker.  And in the last few years, I've learned that: My primary temperament is melancholic . My secondary temperament is choleric (so there's a teeny bit of extrovert in there). In Myers-Briggs, I'm an ISTJ . One of my gifts is administration, which is why I like paperwork, and love spreadsheets. I am loyal, in relationships but also in seemingly irrelevant things like making sure to read every post by my favorite bloggers even if the top...

Seven Random Things I Like

It's been a while, so I'm going to link up with Kelly at This Ain't The Lyceum  for 7 Quick Takes today! I present to you seven random things I like, and for which I am grateful today. 1. Lent! Time to repent! I do like Lent, and with a weird rib-area cartilage injury and a bad cold to set the pace, it's shaping up to be a really Lenty Lent. I'm using the Blessed is She Lenten journal for my daily prayer time and am trying...t r y i n g this 5-Minute sacrifice. I did fairly well at it Wednesday, and pretty crappy Thursday. So there you go. Onward and upward. I will embarrassingly admit that it took me until my 35th year to realize that I don't have to read all the things on the interwebs, even if they are about a topic of interest to me. The webs are awash with posts about how to Lent, and but thank goodness I resisted the urge to click on all of them and just licked on this one  by Jenny at Mama Needs Coffee. Of course you know I want to share everyth...
