Yes, I am still in the blah mood. I am not sad, not depressed, but I still feel no motivation to get anything done. I’d just rather lie on the couch and surf pinterest or watch TV. Yes, it’s insane. It shall pass, likely when the todo lists pile up and I feel a sense of urgency again.
However, I am still exercising and we’re taking the family photos, of course. Even if the kids do not cooperate, I love how Jake and I look in this photo. I love how much I am still in love with him after seventeen years. Sure, we fight. Sure, he gets on my nerves (and I on his) and we’re far from perfect but I truly feel like he is a part of who I am. I love him so deeply, so authentically and I cannot imagine my life without him in it. He’s just a piece of my soul. Good or bad, I always want him near me. (And I am thankful for every day that he is and try to remind myself not to take it for granted.)
Tickle time comes quickly on days when the kids seem to have no patience.
And there’s always a lot of laughter.
David’s getting better. No more fever but his lips and nose are all dry from blowing his nose so much.
and right after photo-time, there was daddy and nathaniel fun time which Nathaniel loved.
And then it was nap time, quiet time, mommy-be-lazy time. I did some art in my weeklong journal during that time, too. Then we went to Whole Foods in an effort to peel myself off the couch. Groceries and lunch and reading to David came next. Then I went back to doing some art. And now I am processing flower photos I took today, finishing up my audio book, and getting ready for some more lazy time on the couch.
Tomorrow is more lazy time! (and maybe some art and reading.)
Three Things I’m Grateful For:
1. I am grateful that despite having the blahs, i got my exercise and my art time done.
2. I am grateful for pinterest today, too, it allowed me to be inspired for hours once again.
3. I am grateful for the patience of my family. They’ve been really kind about how whiny I’ve been lately.
Three Things David’s Grateful For:

2. I am grateful that I spent time with daddy.
3. I am grateful family night is tomorrow.
