Currently (December 2024 Edition)

Reading: nothing. 

Wearing: black pants, a black shirt, and a blue blazer. Sometimes I wear pants to church. 

Eating: not Thanksgiving leftovers. After three days, I’m moving on. I have a crock pot of chicken cabbage soup on the counter. 

Suffering from: post-Thanksgiving bloat, but I have no regrets.

Thanksgiving at Scotty’s mom’s house



Annoyed by: noise. In the past year I’ve become overly sensitive to noise. Any sound that I’m not in control of makes me feel like a crazy person.

Buying: Christmas gifts. Tis the season. 

Excited about: a book I put together for Nicky for Christmas with all of his photos from The Music Man. 


Needing: a break from my kids after having them home for Thanksgiving break. 

Watching:


Dreading: the “busy-ness” of the next few weeks. I wrote out a calendar and meal plan for December, and oh boy. It’s gonna be a lot.

Enjoying: having the Christmas tree up.


Looking forward to: vacation in January.

Missing: the ham, egg, and cheese bagel that McDonald’s used to serve. I got them all the time in high school. 

Worried about: my kids. Always. Does this one need a diagnosis? How can I help this one make friends? What am I going to do about junior high? How do we navigate the love lives of teenagers? 

I just want to move to a compound and isolate them all from society. 

Procrastinating: everything to do with college and Nicky. And everything to do with mission and Nicky. Basically everything to do with Nicky and adulthood. 

Singing: the theme song from the show Bad Sisters. It’s a weird song, and it gets stuck in my head, and I don’t even really know what it says. (Not a show I’d let my grandma watch, by the way).

Listening to: Nicky singing Christmas songs with a speech impediment. 

Craving: EVERYTHING. It’s Fast Sunday. 

Drinking: Dr. Pepper Zero and Diet Dr. Pepper 

Grateful for: good friends.
