I have so much to do today and this snow is making me want to just curl up and knit. The area I live in is not known for its snow removal abilities and most people have vehicles that don’t mind the snow. My car, however, hates the cold and gets mad whenever I tryContinue reading “Snow Outside Means Knitting Inside”

Another Late Night
I really should go to bed. It’s late and we are not ready for the morning rush at all. I’m tired and my week is really only beginning, but the silence is just so delicious right now. Between snow days, vacation days, and the extra day of work for Valentines weekend I have had veryContinue reading “Another Late Night”
Another Monday
Back again to Monday. And what a glorious Monday it is! When I walked into the house this morning, after dropping the kids off at school, it struck me all of a sudden. The silence. The beautiful, uninterrupted quiet. I simply stood there for a moment, one hand on the doorknob, the other drifting downContinue reading “Another Monday”
Snow Days
We are on our second snow day this week and the snow is still coming. We’ve probably gotten about 10-12 inches accumulation over the last three days. Around here that brings a lot of things to a halt. It has also been causing some heavy cabin fever. I got to thinking about how Snow DaysContinue reading “Snow Days”
Oh Mondays
It’s quickly approaching the afternoon, but I’ve hit the ground running today. I packed the kids’ lunches last night and set their tablets to charge for their return to school. This makes a huge difference in the morning because now I could put breakfast in the oven, start my coffee, and then help my kidsContinue reading “Oh Mondays”
While I Was Spending Time with my Kids
I had a few different ideas about what I wanted to write about today. I’ve been mulling them over and rolling them around all day. Once the kids were home from school I set my phone aside and we played charades while having a snack. Then chores and dinner. Only then did they turn theContinue reading “While I Was Spending Time with my Kids”
Happy New Year
We made it! 2020 is over. Only one of us didn’t last until midnight this year. We did not watch any ball drop or do a count down, but instead watched Princess Bride and then Men in Tights. I’m also trying to get a bit more organized again. I’ve been going room by room andContinue reading “Happy New Year”
Shopping without Panicking
The idea of listening to music while shopping is interesting to me. Music is often helpful in balancing my mood, but I apparently have sensory overload issues, which when I think about it, has been pretty obvious for most of my life. Part of my issue is that I can’t exist outside of my surroundings.Continue reading “Shopping without Panicking”
Got Through My Day with the Help of Some Trees
It was depression’s turn to take the lead today. I woke up feeling weighted down. I wanted nothing more than to stay home and relax with my kids. It was a physical ache to leave them. I have come to use my drive as a time to let myself ride whatever I’m feeling. To giveContinue reading “Got Through My Day with the Help of Some Trees”
Rest is Important Too
Some days you just have to take it easy. The last two days have been those sort of days. I have gotten a few things done around the house. The girls and I have actually packed their lunches the night before two nights now and have had their clothes ready for in the morning. InContinue reading “Rest is Important Too”
