Daily Diary – January 13 2010

I am tired. I say this and feel it so much of the time. I can’t even remember anymore what it feels like not to be tired. I wonder if I ever will.

Here’s David because I don’t take as many photos of him anymore and that makes me sad.

And here’s the daily Nathaniel.

Relatively good day here besides being so tired. Not doing so great on the food thing either. I’d like to. Especially reducing the coffee since I am not sure it’s not affecting Nathaniel. And who knows if it’s one of the reasons he doesn’t sleep well….

Note to Self:
Making a todo list does work wonders. I got twenty-some items done yesterday. Of course there’s still a lot to do but it’s nice to get some things done and nice to have it all on paper. It means I don’t have to keep waking up at night just to send myself an email on something. (Yes, it’s stupid I know.)

I need to remind myself that I don’t always have to be ahead of the game. It’s okay to live life as it happens. Sometimes it’s even better. It’s ok to slow down. It’s ok. I’m still taking my time with the driving and that has helped a lot. Need to do that in other areas of my life.

Three things I’m grateful for today:
1. A little walk I took with my neighbor Sara today. I don’t get to spend a lot of time with grownups and I don’t get out much. So it was nice to take a walk with Sara and our kids and get some fresh air and chat.
2. Amazon delivery. Last week, I finally gave up and ordered some baby food instead of going to buy it. I cook some but I also supplement with Earth’s Best. Amazon shipped immediately, for free, and arrived in my doorstep in less than two days. And, no, I don’t have Prime. I love Amazon.
3. I am extra grateful for my home and health today especially in light of all that’s happening in Haiti. It’s so devastating and I can’t even imagine.
