Yesterday was enjoyable. We did nothing all that thrilling however it was enjoyable as a result of I felt like I used to be again in 2012 by staying principally off of social media and even getting just a few weblog feedback (!! – I do know it’s onerous to touch upon blogs from our telephones and I’m largely a silent reader myself, so I completely get it; simply makes it a candy shock after I do hear from you).
So, I snapped some extra footage and now have this loopy notion to file per week of life right here for the straightforward sake of sharing life. I’ll admit I typically have a behavior of getting enthusiastic about concepts, then missing follow-through when the enjoyable a part of it wears off; I blame the enneagram 7 in me. However let’s give it a go!
I additionally marvel if this might get actual outdated actual quick as a result of there’s numerous routine in my days, however pushing that aside- let’s strive!
A Week in Might
Once more, alarm went off at 6:30 and I believed once more how I’d actually prefer to make it 6:00 however I’ve simply been additional drained recently and sleeping so onerous. I believe it’s a mix of the pollen and magnesium. Nonetheless, up at 6:30, hit go on the espresso machine (we have now one which grinds the beans, too and it seems like a rocket ship launching), and begin writing my weblog put up.
David needed to take off for Charlotte for work, so we moved our stroll up in timing a bit and ended up assembly a neighbor and her canine on the way in which, so we chatted about journey and Scotland for our morning mile hike. Again dwelling we completed up the remainder of the breakfast casserole with my present ordinary supplements- cod fish liver oil and vitamin D.
David took off and the women and I ate our breakfasts collectively watching World Watch. Afterwards we bought dressed and began our college day. Math, just a little grammar, then Shakespeare. We completed up As Your Like It; we learn the scripts alongside listening to it being learn at .9 pace. Co-op inspired us to dive into Shakespeare this yr between placing on the Julius Caesar play and studying As You Like It and it’s been a nice shock to seek out that all of us take pleasure in it fairly a bit. We simply go about it slowly and delight to find the hidden humor and wit.
We completed up round midday and looking out round the home, I knew I needed to make it a chore and errand day. The women busied themselves with engaged on egg drop tasks, enjoying the piano, sketching out a easy machine body Okay wanted to make, and choosing up their rooms whereas I began some laundry (sheets for all to minimize the quantity of pollen to trouble us in the course of the nights) after which headed out.
I finished by ACE {Hardware} to get some tinted wall paper primer to begin portray the powder room. I hit up Walmart for some tomato cages, egg drop provides, and different odds and ends. Then I swung by Swamp Rabbit Grocery for some meals that we desperately wanted.
I bought dwelling to a hungry crew. Nicely, Okay had made herself a field of mac and cheese for lunch, however H was holding out for one thing higher, so we tore into the sourdough loaf, hummus, pimento cheese, and microgreens. I had an inkling no protein would ship my blood sugar flying up andddd I used to be proper. It was value it although. Scrumptious. Subsequent time perhaps I’ll begin with some olives or add in just a little rooster salad.
I rolled the cube and drank a canned espresso with lunch, needing a lift of power to fight the cloudy climate. It labored! I tore by the house- laundry, dishes, a pair bogs, counters, sweeping. I arrange the diffuser within the scullery with some blend- Valor perhaps?- and the home felt so recent. Completely happy mother!
David shocked me by getting dwelling sooner than anticipated so we did a brief conditioning exercise earlier than he helped Okay with constructing the picket body she had sketched out. H took Finley on a motorbike trip then ended up operating round and enjoying with a pal so I took the time to piddle within the backyard. I added just a little fertilizer, arrange the tomato cages, and gave it a very good watering.
We’ve neighborhood chickens that I’ve been shopping for eggs from and I’ve compiled fairly the gathering of egg cartons, so I went to drop these again off. As quickly as Finley heard the golf cart’s annoying reverse screeching sound, she got here bounding out. There’s not a lot she enjoys greater than a golf cart trip! She does effectively if she has shotgun, and can simply lay down and go searching. It’s fairly cute.
Again dwelling, we facetimed my niece to want her very completely satisfied twelfth birthday! Then I showered effectively (pollen), the women showered, and David had work calls. H simply completed the collection The Chronicles of Prydain and wished to look at the coordinating film, The Black Cauldron. Sure, that animated film from 1980-something! She and Okay turned it on whereas I began on dinner. The suggestions was that the characters have been the identical however they took numerous liberties with the storyline.
I made Mongolian beef with ramen and sauteed child bok choy. It was excellent!
We ate whereas we completed up the film, then after cleansing up the kitchen we ended the night time with the second half of the primary chapter of The Hobbit. I’ve been excited to learn this one with the women for some time and it’s lastly occurring! I had one other magnesium mocktail (this time with the cherry juice) whereas I learn.
Divided Plates and the Greatest Dinner Bowls
And that about wraps it up! Once more, mattress for the children round 8:45 or so, then David and I talked by just a few life issues earlier than washing up, watching 1/4 of a White Lotus episode (nonetheless haven’t made it by season 3, episode 1 but) earlier than our eyelids have been heavy and we opted for sleep.
It will most likely assist if these day within the life posts had a theme or some extent to them past “right here’s what I did in a day,” however perhaps that can return with time and observe. I get concepts in my head on a regular basis I’d like to speak extra about from tweens and youths (why do they get a nasty repute?), to meal planning in several phases of life, to ponderings on prioritizing values and the wrestle and reward in residing them out, and so forth. However for right this moment, a easy right here’s what I did must do. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you could have a beautiful Thursday!
