Day 99: Sweet, sweet sleep

Oh, it's day 99! Wha!?! I'd like to tell you I have something super profound, well-written, and/or exciting on deck for big day 100. I do not. I don't get paid for this gig, so you get what you get, and you don't throw a fit.

I was up with the baby toddler from 3:30 until almost 6 this morning. He's finally sleeping well, so this is not the norm for him. He wasn't fussing, and he was tired, just not so much into sleeping. We snuggled and read a few blog posts and prayed and I tried to doze off with him on my lap. The dude did not abide.

I've mentioned it a billion times, but grace is what saved me. My husband typically leaves for work around 5;30 a.m. but today he was working in town and didn't have to leave until around 7:15. He got #3 back to sleep around 6, which allowed me to get back to sleep, too. Then, I assume, he got up, showered, fed the big kids breakfast and gave them a pep talk about being quiet and not waking us. We slept until 7:45! Unheard of.

I was pretty much dreading the stay-home day with three little boys on a super early morning's wake time. The extra couple of hours I was given because my spouse was here were such a gift, and allowed me to not be a complete and total witch all day. Everybody wins!

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...
