Andrew gets in the car after school yesterday and says, "Look what I learned in school today!" Thankfully I had taken my camera to my school- so I was able to video what valuable lesson he learned.
Today is mine and Doug's 13th anniversary. As we were sitting at dinner I was thinking, "Man is this night a LOT different than this night 13 years ago." Here are 13 ways my life is different than 13 years ago. 1. My muscle tone- particularly around the midsection. 2. My hair which has more grey, but yet it is still so much better! ("wisdom" and vanity cause me to spend ridiculous amounts of money on hair products- more than I spend on clothes) 3. I fed a small person ravioli's, while they wiggled and jostled next to me in the booth, and dropped forks with spaghetti sauce on my pants- tonight. 4. I am relearning elementary school math. I think I've got the hang of fractions now. 5. I know Disney Channel characters. I am able to tell what show either of my children is watching- from another room, just by the voices of the characters 6. My friends are now made at my kids extra curricular events, not at work, not at the gym, not doing a hobby....
Happy Week 2 of Quarantining!!! This week was a legit quarantine for us. Week 1 we got out, we went shopping for food to donate to a local charity, and helped deliver food, and my kids hung out with neighbors and friends. Then Friday night, I blogged, I drank- got a little drunk (I'm a total light weight), and put the family on legit Lock Down. I went into the week with a pretty positive attitude and it has stayed that way. I am a person that requires routines and I set one up that has been very good for us. We've even eaten vegetables!!!! Every day this week. That's practically unheard of for us. Randomly my house has been clean all week. How is that even happening?! Somehow when we're all here all the time, it's clean- and when we fly in and out of the house for a brief moment- it's a mess. There are many mysteries in the world (this week has sure proven that!). Saturday I discovered TikTok. If you're not on TikTo...
I enjoy sewing. Am I great at it? Nope. I do enjoy it though. The satisfaction of completing a project. Picking out the fabric for a project. Deciding on a project . . . I just love it. My grandmothers sewed. In fact, I have one of my grandmother's sewing machines. My mother-in-law sews and my mother sews. She sewed the one and only prom dress I wore (I went once. In 10th grade. It was somewhat traumatic: not in a "I was actually scarred for life" kind of way. More like, "My God that sucked and at least I now know." I never went again. No amount of friend cajoling, or boys asking could change my mind.) Anyway- my mother sewed, my grandmothers sewed. The first sewing project I did was to make a pair of shorts. I remember doing this with my Girl Scout Troop. I have no idea how those leaders kept their sanity with a room full of upper elementary girls learning to sew. I think we actually...
Excellent stomach roll and excellent jersey choice.
