I’ve come a long way from the person who held the Lombardi trophy but didn’t even know what a bye week was. First game of the middle school football season and Bolles kicked it off with a win. I didn’t even need the announcer to know what was happening.

Robin went to a sleepover yesterday, so I tried to give Christina a sleepover experience by making her waffles. The rest of the day was fairly unexciting. I did some measuring and marking for my advent calendar. Now I just need to assemble it. Haha, “just.” I also finished knitting Siggi’s scarf. I’m going to need some new projects.

Another 11:55pm shot just to get one in. It was a busy day. Church, then I broke our one-year-old dishwasher. That kind of ruined my day, and then there was my NAMI class, driving Robin to her friend’s house, and a 7:30pm dinner. Almost no time to breathe. So this is the shot we got.

Trying to make more of an effort to do fun things. The pool was nearly empty and it was definitely cooler today than it was last week, but we had fun anyway. There was only minimal fighting over goggles.

Had lunch with Molly, and even though I haven’t really wanted to talk, it was nice to talk. I realize through talking that I am actually dealing with a lot. It’s not just in my head. Sometimes it feels like I should be handling things better.

Puzzles are my refuge. Billy took this one out, but I’ve taken it over. I’ve also been crossword puzzle crazy. It’s an escape. I appreciate it, but it’s coming at the expense of things that actually do need to get done. I’m trying to care.

I feel a little bit like I am standing in a room, trying to catch confetti. Things are flying all around me and I’m only managing to deal with tiny little pieces of it in no particular order. It’s making me very tired.

I didn’t even bother editing this photo. It’s the only one I took and it’s terrible. We went out to a new restaurant. It was good but overpriced, I thought. The food was good, but I’d have expected more ambiance and more of an experience for the price. At least I got out of the house.

Taking pictures is just not top of mind for me lately. There are too many other things taking up space. I need to start making more time for it, though, and more time for myself.

I have this exact same picture of Christina from when she was 2. Some things never change.

Saw Dr. Nader today and as usual, she sent me text messages with links to the latest workouts she’s been trying. She is up on every workout and diet fad there is, and every time I see her, she is trying to get me to do another one. I’m just happy I weigh ten pounds less than last time, and I didn’t need a 6-8 times a day ab workout to do it, either. So I got ice cream after dinner.

Today I pissed Robin off because I refused to talk to her until she stopped screaming at me. She got so angry that she slammed her door in my face and threw a sneaker at the door as hard as she could for good measure. I guess sometimes you just can’t be calm or reasonable, and as long as you’ve got a sneaker and a door, that’s ok.

I just haven’t had the time, energy or inclination to take daily photos, but I am committed to it. I’ve picked up my knitting again for the first time all year. I don’t know if people appreciate the things I make for them, but at least it keeps me occupied. Right now that’s a good thing.
