A snapshot of last Monday.
I don't imagine there IS such a thing as a typical day around here.
Got up and made granola.
Drank my first ever kale smoothie. Went down easy.
Helped my daughter with her first independent act - we/she bought a car.
Taught Preschool through 8th grade math - yes, everything in between.
Counseled a crying single mom on the phone.
Made butternut squash apple soup/tahini green beans/oatmeal muffins for lunch.
According to my disgusted son, I've gone crunchy.
Cleaned my bathroom for the second time in a month. Woohoo!
Did loads of laundry (don't bother counting anymore).
Checked my e-mail, too many times. Oh, most likely FB too. However my scrabble buddy was out of town....
Texted a friend.
Took little boys to their last swim lesson.
Left after dinner and went grocery shopping at 7:30. My husband and daughter dropped me off and went to get her stuff out of her college abode and picked me up on the way home.
9:30pm - Put groceries away.
Read my book for Book Club.
Darn, I didn't get my nap in today.
I think I took a shower because I don't usually go out of the house without one.
In between were hugs and stories and probably tears in there somewhere.
Maybe theirs, maybe mine.

Ah! The green drink bandwagon. Welcome aboard. :-)
ReplyDeleteI first read that your son said you've gone grouchy...ha ha. I'm glad it's just crunchy.
There's something satisfying about feeding your family very healthily.
I think I need some help in the "crunchy" category. Are you game?
DeleteIs it a good book? I actually have time to read right now, and am looking for some new authors to try. :)
ReplyDeleteThis Book Club has been interesting because it has been a long time since I've read something because I had to and not because I wanted to. This book is very good because I love WWII history. I was enamored with Anne Frank and all those kinds of stories when I was younger. The Invisible Bridge (I'm halfway through) brings to light how much antisemitism was building prior to the outbreak of the war. OR maybe I am more sensitive to racism now. Actually it's just a love story, aren't they all?
DeleteI know what you mean---I tend to read the same type of books all the time. Maybe a book club would help broaden my interests a little bit. :)
DeleteHi Jennifer~ You sound like one busy lady! Are all those your children on the top of your blog? I just found you, and glad I did~! I am a grandmother, but I'm telling you, I keep plenty busy with my daughters and their 6 children! LOVE it~ Congrats to your daughter and her new car! ♥♥♥
ReplyDeleteHi Cathy:
DeleteYes, they are all mine. I am one blessed woman. Thanks for the comment. I hope to be a grandmother one day. I might be in exponential trouble....What's your current count?
My favorite part - I cleaned my bathroom for the second time in a month. I love it!
