Yawn.
I feel a little bit out of sorts this morning. Not in a bad mood exactly, but I think mostly just a little bit tired. I feel like it was kind of an intense week for some reason, though it really wasn’t by normal standards.
Now that I think about it, maybe it’s because the kids were home all week for virtual schooling (and last week on Thanksgiving break). I hadn’t really considered that fact! Maybe I’m just missing the moments of stillness that I had grown accustomed to again. Also, I was up way too late two nights in a row. That’s probably a big part of my sluggish feeling.
It was a busy week too. Ethan had an ortho appt, I was out running errands for Asher’s birthday several times, I’ve been finishing up lots of odds and ends with all the Christmas decorating I do (self-imposed problem, I know…but when it’s all done I LOVE it!!). My parents came to celebrate Asher’s birthday too which was great. All very good things- a good busy- but it all still leaves me feeling a little bit drained right now! 🙂
TGIF and I have no weekend plans except hopefully some more online shopping before it’s too late. And, I should probably order some Christmas cards. WHY is it December 4th and I haven’t done this yet (during a pandemic, when I should be less busy??). I do not know. No excuses here.
I am proclaiming tonight MOVIE NIGHT + popcorn+ blanket by the Christmas tree. Can’t wait.
Birthday Recap
Asher’s birthday was a super fun and special day. He was ALL SMILES by bedtime so I think he was pleased. 🙂
đź”·Doughnuts for breakfast (per family tradition, plus balloons and decorations!!)
đź”· He had virtual school all day but requested a Jimmy John’s sub for lunch, so I ran out to pick that up for him. His class had a “Lunch Zoom” (social Zoom for the kids to just eat/ talk together) and he was laughing and laughing in his room during it. 🙂 Must have been fun. Of course he shared that it was his birthday, too.
đź”·Grandma and Grandpa came in the evening and he got to help set up the Christmas Village which he loves doing.
đź”·Nachos for dinner! (Homemade by Ivan. Everyone loves them.)
đź”·PRESENTS, of course.
đź”·Key lime pie instead of cake. (My fav dessert but my whole family has adopted it now, too!)
It was a good day to turn 11.
Daily Gratitude:
I am grateful for Google Calendar! On days like today when I have a LOT I want to accomplish but am tired, planning helps me to feel better able to handle everything.
GRATEFUL KAE
