It’s Friday, and not a moment too soon, let me tell you. I am ready for the weekend LIKE WHOA.
I confess…
- …that I am so tired of being tired all the time. I have literally been tired for my entire life. You’d think I’d be used to it by now, and yet? I still go to bed hoping that maybe tomorrow will finally be the day where I wake up and feel rested and energetic.
- …that I love Netflix so far. I’m excited for them to get it really up and running. MOAR BBC CONTENT PLZ KTHXBAI. And what I can’t find there, if I dig hard enough, I can watch on The Tubes of You.
- …that one of the most frustrating things about parenting right now is the fact that I spend an hour in the morning doing my daughter’s hair, hoping the style will last for a few days or maybe a week. But then, she takes her peanut butter-covered hands and sticks them in her hair, or spends every moment absentmindedly pulling at her hair and pulling bits of it out of her braids or her puffs, and sticking the ends of her hair in her mouth. It makes me absolutely mental.
- …that I really, really need to get my eyes checked and get a new prescription for glasses, because the headaches are killing me. But first I need to find a babysitter for Stinkerbelle. Any volunteers?
- …that I dread the prospect of Stinkerbelle’s swimming lessons beginning next week. ME + BATHING SUIT = NONONONO.
- …that we made the decision for me not to work and to be a stay-at-home mom knowing that we’d have to sacrifice a little bit to make that happen. But there are times when I miss having the money to do things without having to worry about the budget.
- …that my husband bought me flowers at Thanksgiving, and there’s a lovely deep red gerbera daisy that is so pretty, I wish I could have gerbera daisies all winter long to bring some sunshine into the house. They’re just so cheerful.
- …that I have been procrastinating on doing a lot of little things — mailing some parcels, getting some photos framed and put up, finishing some tasks for That Baby’s room, decluttering — and I just have to get off my ass and do. And yet? I never seem to. I have this inertia that’s been so hard to overcome of late.
- …that I got winter boots for my kid!! While grocery shopping! 12 bucks a pair! Joe clothing FTMFW!!!
- …that I have been doing a charity knitting project of late, and it was a knit-a-long which means I was trying to keep up with the group (and even so, I was hopelessly behind). Anyway, I was knitting as fast as I could — and now I have calluses on my index fingers from the yarn and needles. It’s weird. It feels weird. But at the same time, I’m all kinda proud and stuff, like this makes me a real knitter, yo. (But in actual fact, it just means my circular needles were just slightly too long for my project and so it was a fight to knit.)
