Currently (June 2026 Edition)

Reading:

I have an actual hard copy of this book from the library, and I have to admit, it's difficult to pick it up and read it. I used to be so anti-e-reader, and now that's the only way I like to read because my book is always in my pocket. 

Singing: “Somebody That I Used to Know” by Gotye

Buying: new life jackets for the fam.

Eating: Honey Nut Cheerios and chips & salsa (I do not recommend this combination based on the afterburps).

Watching:

I haven't started watching this yet, but it's next on my list. 

Dreading: sleeping. I don't like sleeping because every night is a gamble - will I actually get any sleep, or will I wake up in a perimenopausal episode (or from neuropathy pain or from a child with a bloody nose...) and fall back asleep twenty minutes before I have to get up for the day?

Annoyed by: sounds I'm not in control of. 

Listening to:

As with my latest TV show, I haven't yet started this one, but it's next on the list.

Procrastinating: weeding. I was doing so good keeping up on the weeds in the garden, and then I went outside the other day and BAM! A bazillion tiny weeds had surfaced! And I think if I let them grow a wee bit they will be easier to grip and pull out of the ground. But those could be famous last words.

Playing:

Sad about: social situations I've observed with my children. The friendships that have crumbled lately, the parties they weren't invited to, the moments they seem lost or depressed, the interactions they are left out of. 

Eating: hot dogs. We had a weenie roast over the weekend, and we have a few leftover hot dogs that need to be eaten. 

Craving: a binge-worthy TV show on a cold, rainy day. 

Suffering from: weird hair. The front sections of my hair are shorter than the rest of my hair, and the right side is an inch shorter than the left. 

Feeling: neutral. I'm not particularly happy nor unhappy. I'm just neutral. 

Looking forward to: watching our garden grow this summer. What successes will we have? (And what failures... insert sad face). We should be picking peas soon!

Buying: 

I added the Simpsons to my Little People collection.

Laughing about: a poor, little child using our bathroom the other day and bumping the bidet and getting a terrible surprise! It was sad and hilarious. And she was quite soaked.

Grateful for: our recent rainstorm.
