Reading: nothing! I don’t think I’ve ever said that in one of these posts. I am reading NOTHING!!!
Wearing: my jammies. At this moment I’m in bed Wednesday night.
Cooking: Chicken Zucchini Casserole .
Sick of: zucchini.
Suffering from: heart burn.
Annoyed by: excessive use of the ‘F’ word. I feel like it’s becoming the new “um.” It’s a filler word with no purpose.
Wanting: one more bedroom in our house.
Making: lots of jam! I canned 30 jars on Monday.
Dreading: three four-day school weeks in a row.
Sad about: trials some of my friends are going through. Cancer, ailing parents, loss of loved ones, faith crises, and more.
Embarrassed by: my phone starting to play a Marco Polo very loudly in the middle of a restaurant today in which I was describing (in great detail) my trip to Walmart for Shannon. Now everyone in Cup Bop knows I bought toenail clippers, mascara, and allergy medication.
Happy about: any form of cooler weather.
Looking forward to: a five-day school week sometime in the middle of September.
Saying: “We’ll see what happens.” I just realized this week how often I say that. Many, many times a day.
Wishing: I could teleport. But with that skill, I would like to be able to take things and/or people with me.
Feeling: okay. I’m keeping a mood log since I recently changed medications. So far, so good.
Learning: how to navigate my new (to me) phone. I held on to the home button for as long as possible (with my iPhone 8), and then adopted my mom’s old iPhone 11 recently with the facial recognition. I dreaded it, but now that I’m used to it, I’m not hating it. Other than having to swipe up to close all my apps.
Laughing about: my nephew falling sleep whilst using my other nephew’s butt for a pillow.
And look how he’s just hanging off the couch all hazardous like (this is the twins’ sleeping couch at grandma’s house. They sleep on it every Sunday).
Missing: giving birth. I don’t want to ever do pregnancy again, but I liked the birthing part. I also miss snuggling newborns, but I don’t want to raise any more humans.
Eating: half a Crumbl cookie and saving the other half for tomorrow.
Update: It's now "tomorrow" (7:38 am, and I will not tell you whether the other half of my cookie still exists)
Buying: butter, which is on sale at Smith’s (via digital coupon - limit 5) for $1.99. Yes, I am a walking grocery ad.
Procrastinating: making orthodontist appointments for three of my kids.
Craving: egg McMuffins. I’m going through a thing right now.
Sidenote: last week my driver’s side window broke (aka: the “drive-thru” window). Not the glass, luckily, but something down inside the door. I was rolling up my window when it made a loud pop (scared me to death!) and then my window was stuck about four inches down. Then, while I was driving Zoe and Eva to school, the window suddenly fell down into the door, and I was stuck with a fully unrolled window.
Worried about: my kids. They are going to have to do something hard soon (a long story for another post), and I’m worried about how it will go.
Trying: to be nice to and think good thoughts about a certain individual I really, really struggle with.
Listening to: my older children getting ready for school (opening and closing cabinets, filling their water bottles with ice, going up and down the stairs, etc) (it’s now Thursday morning, and I think I need an egg McMuffin).
Sidenote: Daisy is so loud in the morning. She slams every door she touches and stomps everywhere she walks. I often ask her to try and be quieter, and she always claims she is being quiet.
Smelling: instant oatmeal (made by Daisy with a slam of the microwave door).
Needing: to deep clean Zoe and Eva’s room for the 423rd time this year.
Thankful for: good friends who love me even when I suck.
