I started writing a post yesterday and never finished it. I deleted the whole thing. I feel like yesterday’s positives are gone. In retrospect I shouldn’t have done that, but I did. It’s been an epic parenting disaster. I’m short on sleep, didn’t eat dinner last night, forgot my nicotine patch. J is teething more […]

Day 77
Fall has a smell to it. This sweet smell of leaves. It’s almost indescribable. I noticed it when I left my work on my lunch break. It’s warm and humid, and the leaves coming off the maple tree are giving off that scent. I kind of love it. It makes me want to be outside […]
Day 76
I *may* have a baking problem. Yesterday I baked bread. And a triple berry crisp. Today, I did this: Apple pecan pie. It’s under cooked. I had exactly 1 hour before I had to leave before it came out. But, it’s all good. I consulted with my baker friend who told me there are no […]
Day 75
Things I did today: Got up to toddler singing at 530 am Made breakfast Did dishes Attempted meditation while moderating fight over my lap Ate half my breakfast while feeding the other half to a toddler who had decided mine was better than hers Moderated 10000 fights Rescued the plant from imminent death on the […]
Day 74
1. Red bull girls showed up at my work and gave me free red bull. Which I left in the fridge at work of course. But heeeey….free red bull! 2. I woke up this morning to the moonlight pouring in. It was beautiful. 3. Speaking of the moon, I got to watch the full moon […]
Day 66
It’s been a busy weekend. I made good on the meditation, saw friends, packed things, watched live music and came close to falling off a dock. Also the state fair. The state fair is a pretty big deal in MN. It’s supposedly the third largest in the US, and there were over 200,000 people there […]
Day 62
A word of advice, friends. Never leave your home in the company of small children without eating first. Don’t care if you aren’t hungry. Bring a snack. Even if you think it’s a short trip, do this. Trust me. You don’t want to make a snack stop when you’re broke, exhausted on caffeine fumes and […]
Day 55
So far it’s been a chill, but exhausting day. I got to sleep in (which was wonderful), ate a healthy breakfast and went to sober fit club, which is a local meet up of sober alcoholics that play games like pickup kickball and volleyball in the park every week. I played a few games, got lost […]
Day 54
Yesterday was a delicious blur. Once I got past the parenting part where I was two steps behind anyway. 1. Clean carpets. I shampooed the carpets to remove the stains my offspring left on them. Sadly many of the stains remain, but it’s much cleaner and smells pretty. 2. Live music. Went to a thing […]
Day 52
I missed yesterday, which is sad because I had a pretty good day. Today, I’ve been sick with body aches and fever again so it’s been kind of a blur of herbal teas and hiding under the blanket on the couch with the kitten snuggling. Not too bad when you’re sick. I got a keyboard […]
