Solitude

This is my last day of having the house to myself before Summer vacation begins. It’s also the earliest I’ve gotten everyone out of the house in a long time. I’m going to do my best to really enjoy it. I found my original short story from high school and have finally begun work onContinue reading “Solitude”

Mother’s Day

I always have a hard time with today. Over the years I have been trying to figure out why. It’s not because of my own mom. She is absolutely amazing, faults and all. I have almost always had a fantastic relationship with her- even in my tweens and teens. But something makes me uncomfortable. BeingContinue reading “Mother’s Day”

Snow Days

Snow Days have become something very different from my grade school years in this post pandemic environment. Since using laptops or tablets for classes during lockdowns, they have found a way to not need makeup days at the end of the year. Just do that instead of a surprise day off. Part of me isContinue reading “Snow Days”

Lazy Day

I didn’t really accomplish much today. I just sat and finished four of these squares and then single crochet stitched them together. All the ends are still unwoven. I did two racks of dishes. Some with my youngest. She’s so proud of how helpful she was. We spilled water and cleaned it up. She evenContinue reading “Lazy Day”

Mondays

We woke up to a knock on the door. Our neighbor was here for her ride to school and all of us had slept through my four blaring alarms. I think it was the fastest we have all gotten ready. I even managed to get a cup of coffee before we hustled out the door.Continue reading “Mondays”

Post Vacation Fatigue

It’s crazy how tired I am. Four whole days away in a rustic cabin in the mountains, in the woods, filled with rest and relaxation, and I’m so very tired. A few years ago I learned about this. I tried going straight back to work right after a week long camping trip (I always likeContinue reading “Post Vacation Fatigue”

Pajama Day

I want to garden. Or go for a hike. Or just play in the yard. The weather is perfect-just sunny enough with a cool breeze. Instead, I’m staying in my pajamas and getting ready for a Once Upon a Time marathon with my oldest. They’re just too comfy for me to do anything else. TodayContinue reading “Pajama Day”

Enjoying the Rain

We have had yet another set back. My husband got the news he was being laid off with less than a dozen others this week. This is the second time in two years he’s been laid off because he was the last hired when the chops came. He’s got a back-up job, but it’s justContinue reading “Enjoying the Rain”

Favorite Things

The plan was to take a hike today. It has been a long time since we have voyaged into the woods and long overdue. I wasn’t too hopeful when rain greeted us this morning, but leaned into a slow morning. After some oatmeal and dressing, we made our way to the woods. And of courseContinue reading “Favorite Things”

Panic in the Morning

I had planned to write about something else for today, but then had a bit of a panicked start this morning. I looked at the time and realized the only kid going to school this week was going to be late. Then I couldn’t find her anywhere in the house. I felt I should haveContinue reading “Panic in the Morning”
