Feeling depleted- the kind of tired where you begin thinking about something then realize you've been spacing off for some time and it takes effort - like, actual forced effort- to remember what you were trying to think about.
Maybe not the best mind frame to write a blog post in. However, I do know that consistency is key, for both you and I, and if I'm not up for overanalyzing some aspect of some thing, unable to get into the groove where thoughts and words flow freely... then I'm presenting just one more side of myself to you here.... which is the point, right? (Besides the great joy in telling people to "Check out my blog".... blog. blog. blog. blog...... who made up this word?! what does it all mean?? )
So I will give you a small glimpse, with visual aid, into what has dominated this past week for me:
1. Pie
this was almost a pie-centric post. can't wrap my head around the whole forcing-memories-and-traditions-for-your-kids/craving-something-you've-never-had/pie-as-status-symbol thing right now though. maybe another time. maybe not.
2. Laundry
truth.
3. Menu Variety
I am SO TIRED of the same 5 things I always make, yet I'm like always surprised when 5pm comes around and I have to make dinner. Again! What?! Unprepared! Spaghetti it is!
This Mealboard App is the first app that is actually making my tasks more convenient. I swear. Its like opening my eyes to a whole world of preplanning. Whaaat?!
4. Sleep (lack thereof)
I know all of America is trying to one up eachother on how tired we all are, how little we sleep, how we burn the candle at both ends.... like its some measure of our success or our determination, or how interesting and popular and busy we are. But I'm so over any of that. Do you know what fascinates me? Someone who gets a full nights sleep. Someone who doesnt have circles under their eyes. Someone who doesnt require 3 cups of coffee to get through the day.... I'm so, so, so tired. Kids aren't sleeping well = NOBODY sleeps well. fact. moving on.....
Well, my life sure sounds boring from all that. Who cares, I'm not bored (except with spaghetti). Whats the opposite of bored? Immersed? I'm that. Life-Immersion therapy.
