On Being Grateful
What positive emotion do you feel most often? While I want more out of life I try to cultivate an attitude of gratitude. I have a family that loves me. I have a place of employment that is safe and clean even if it is a little bit nerve wracking. I have a very short…

Diapers, and Lightbulbs, and Boys! Oh My!
It’s way too early in the morning for me to be so awake. This is becoming more typical. My youngest son asked for a diaper so I got out of bed. I changed him and he really needed it. His brother was hovering so I changed him too even though he did not really need…

Noon on Tuesday
I have to go to pharmacy in a couple of hours. But I’m still in my pajamas. On the theory that I should dress for the job I want pajamas are my first choice. But my Walgreens “uniform” is pretty close to my day clothes. I’m more colorful on the days I don’t have pharmacy…

Inspiring
It made it to Sacrament Meeting today. The brother who drives me also picked up a Spanish speaking family. I was able to understand about a third of the words in the conversation to church.

Merry Monday
Today has been better so far. My youngest woke me up early for a diaper that he really needed, but I was able to fall back asleep. I’ve been awake for a couple of hours now and there have not been any crisis or meltdowns. I did accidentally step on the cat. She has been…

Lazy Day
Everybody is resting today. There are always things to do, but we are all putting them off. I wish I could just sleep some more, but alas even on a day that we are all shirking our responsibilities one can only sleep so much. So social media, video games, art, and writing will have to…

Missed Opportunities
Today our garbage and recyclables was supposed to go to the curb. The trucks came and left before we realized it needed to happen. We don’t make a whole lot of garbage so that can wait a week. On the other hand our two recyclable bins are already nearly full and those trucks only come…
