Well here’s to another day I took off, got small things done and struggled at work and struggled with walking and eating well and getting my kids to eat veggies and on and on. But I did them all. I walked, i ate veggies. I replied to a few emails. I did my art journal. I made veggies for Nathaniel that he didn’t eat but then he ate my squash. I got some work done. I learned a lot more. Slowly. Progress can be so slow.
While I work so hard, little boy’s learned to get into things and goes through the pantry to make food suggestions.
I say no no no but he tries to open.
And succeeds.
Then he plays with the extra lunch box I got for David. He loves that thing.
But can’t open when it’s closed and close when it’s open so he often makes faces like this.
And this.
And asks for help from his brother when he’s around.
Who’s the kindest, most patient boy ever.
Weird side note: Do you watch commercials? There’s an Old Navy one with the leaf blower man and I don’t know what it is but it always makes Nathaniel cry the second it comes on. Literally the second. Also, the Microsoft one with the family photo and how you can make it “perfect” using the cloud? I hate that one. For other reasons. Long ones. This is just a reminder for me to write about it later.
Both of the kids and I had nightmares all night last night. Here’s to hoping it’s not the case tonight. This weekend is pumpkin patch and then visiting my friend Manu and then some pumpkin carving. And of course walking, eating well, art journal, fixing some of my BPS content writing some more content, emails, and maybe just maybe if I am lucky, some scrapbooking! Oh and reading. It’s been too long since I touched my kindle.
I hope your weekend plans are fun. It’s been quieter than usual here, I hope you’re still visiting me. 🙂
Three Things I’m Grateful For:
1. I am grateful that I am making efforts in so many areas of my life. Really trying this time.
2. I am grateful that I still feel more relaxed than last week. The crazy suffocating feeling seems to have disappeared, at least for now.
3. I am grateful that we’re going to the patch tomorrow. I always look forward to that.
Three Things David’s Grateful For:
1. working on our last puppet – zebra!

Sometimes just getting through the day is an accomplishment. Especially when you have had a rough night.I feel for ya.
