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.

I Am A Blogger: CWBN 2017 Recap

The last weekend in March I had the great pleasure of attending a real life blogging conference! Like a real blogger! Cathedral of St. Paul Jacqui ,  Anna  and  Susanna  hosted the Catholic Women's Blogging Network Twin Cities get together at a stunning Summit Avenue mansion in St. Paul. Thirty-some wonderful Catholic women from the Twin Cities, the Midwest, and even Maryland joined up to talk blogging and really just to support each other and build each other up. My friend Monica encouraged me to go, and I signed up on a bit of a whim, figuring that if I paid for registration I'd be more inclined to go. If I didn't have a mutual friend link to one of the organizers, and if a couple of my most favoritest bloggers hadn't been speakers, I'd probably have chickened out.  In response to my evident nerves on the way, my husband wisely mused, "Well, if you're going to walk into a group of people you don't know, this is probably the best group yo...

Day 149: Date with Mom

Mom and I slipped away yesterday afternoon for a trip to town. We had a relaxing couple of hours away from all the chaos at the lake. We shopped, drove around town chatting, I visited the sacrament of reconciliation, and we picked up my favorite small-town pizza joint pizza for supper. I love my hometown so much, but don't spend much time there anymore now that my parents live at the lake. I enjoyed cruising around town catching up on the changes and updates. Mom caught me up on local news, and I accidentally bought a dress, two shirts and a travel mug. That type of thing happens when I hang with my mom, but that's OK!  It was a wonderful afternoon and I'm grateful for our little escape.

Day 101: Shopping Spree

One of the lovely ladies from my mother's group organized a shopping party at Clothes Mento r for last night. About a year ago, I had a most excellent experience with their personal shopping consultation, and I was excited to get back, especially since my favorite jeans now have around 5 holes. We had the store to ourselves for two hours last night and I tried on all  the pants. I hate trying on jeans. With help I was able to find a couple pairs, along with a top, tank top, and cardigan. I got it all for $65, which I feel is a pretty good deal. I also tried on a dress, backwards (because I guess I thought the tags went in the front ), which accentuated my dry, Scandinavian white, flaky legs. All the NOs you can no. I know some people aren't into used clothes, but I definitely am, especially from a respectable store like Clothes Mentor or Thred Up . I KonMari'd my clothes at the beginning of Purgefest 2016, and now my closet has mostly  versatile pieces that I like and ...
