Christmas Decorations & Remembrance Day*
A few days ago, I asked a question in my Facebook group: I wanted to know when people put up their Christmas decorations. I figured it might be a bit of a divisive topic, so I quietly sat back and watched the responses roll in. As I expected, there were multiple views on the topic, but thankfully I seem to have a wonderful group of friends and readers, and the conversation stayed civil and respectful. (Thank you! <3) As soon as November 1st hits the debate about when it’s “appropriate” to decorate for the upcoming holidays begins… and I feel like it has intensified every year as I’ve watched from…

Just Another Manic Monday*
I had to spend some time in a waiting room this morning, but thankfully there was a TV to keep me occupied. Normally these places seem to only play the news or the like, (except my awesome dentist who plays Ellen) but this office won the day: The Price is Right was on. Can I just say that I love that the set has basically not changed in the 100 years it’s been on?? This was one of my FAV shows to watch as a kid whenever I got to stay home sick, and I really haven’t seen it in years. Drew Carey is no Bob Barker, but it was…

Hodge Podge*
I’ve been sitting here staring at a blank page for the last 10 minutes wondering what to write about tonight. My mind feels like a bit of a hodge podge–it has felt like a very busy day, but looking back, I don’t know that it was. Then again, with three small children, I don’t know that there are days that don’t qualify as “busy”. P had a rough night last night. I heard him whimpering and moaning on the monitor a little before midnight, and crept down the hall to tuck him back him and help him back to sleep. He was half asleep, but he wrapped his little arms…

My Body is Broken*
Why are we still changing clocks back and forth? I mean, really now. What is the point? My brain feels like it’s 10pm because it is. So if I go to sleep now, my body clock will wake me at my usual 6:30am, which in the new time will be 5:30am which I am just not okay with. So I’m here, trying to stay awake a little later so we’re not all up obnoxiously early tomorrow. Thankfully my kids have always somehow just done really well with time changes and it hasn’t been an issue… but of course since I just wrote that we’ll all be up at 4am. In…

Something about books, hugs and I worked out today*
I had to tear myself away from my book to come and write tonight. I’m deep into this month’s book club book, and for the life of me, I cannot figure the mystery out. It’s so twisty and turny and I loooooove it. Today was actually a pretty great day. It was cold, wet and rainy which I did not love, but I had a much needed home day and it was so nice. I’ve worked the past two days, and by day 3 (in a row) it seems like everyone in the house feels it. S’s shoulders sag a little when she learns I have to run out the…
