I like the word flat much better than apartment. Why oh WHY do we say "ay-paaart-mint".

Why all the yelling?
I would be OK with yelling at my kids if it entailed some purpose, such as keeping them safe: "WATCH OUT FOR THE CAR!". Or if it meant I was applauding some success: "GOOD JOB!"

Separating Pumpkin Seeds; and Other Things that take Time.
From 2:30 - 5:30 today I was standing in my husbands Crocs in our tiny kitchen, cutting, scooping, squishing, picking, and sundry other kitchen-like actions. I was also bouncing between the kids, setting them up with the pencil sharpener, monitoring proper play-dough usage, helping to string beads, and letting them draw all over the windows with 'window crayons'.

The girl and me.
A trip into town is never dull with my LittleFish. Even though the library was closed (see pic below) we came up with a plan B. Rode a lion, saw some art, did some shopping, and enjoyed a lunch out.

Loving my small kitchen.
I'm no Julia Child's, but I sure can read a recipe!

Panacea
Chocolate, tea, and TV are good remedies for the short term -- remedies for the daily stresses of life. For the small moments when trying to uplift the mood.

Quarantine.
I really hope I can post a sunny blog post someday soon. But right now, I have Strep A and am miserable. Two weeks ago I was laid out flat with some other virus too. This is what happens I suppose when one does too much. Moving, starting new jobs, starting new school... Ugh. These past 2 days I have spent flat on my back in bed which, honestly (between the retching and pain) has not been all that bad. At least I finally got some rest.

Warning: letting go has side effects.
A week or so later, my struggling brain and intellect has taken the next logical step that might occur after acceptance: letting go.

Learning about acceptance.
The only way to really learn about acceptance is to do it.
