Another day, a consecutive blog post? Internally, I’m telling myself, “be cool. be cool. don’t make a big deal about it.” I tend to get a little squirrely when I’m on a roll. Two consecutive days of something is DEFINITELY a roll for me, okay?

How was your monday? Ours was pretty fab!

Once all the fellas were up we knocked out homeschool. Seriously, very thankful for it being fun again. Not to beat a dead horse, but also we all needed it to be fun again. After school time every body played well-ish together and then we had lunch. The babiest boy went down for a nap and the bigs enjoyed some rare screen time. It was a very peaceful two hours. When CGM woke up we headed out to my parents to drop off some sourdough starter for my mama to take to one of her coworkers whom I think is just precious. We picked the boys some dinner up, since JKM wasn’t going to be home until bedtime. Once home and full we got to cleaning since we are having our friends over today! We knocked it out pretty quickly, this could change in the next sixty seconds but while it’s accurate I want to put it in writing. I feel like my bigger boys have finally gotten to the point where they really get that working as a team instead of trying to WWE each other while doing tasks actually makes things go faster. The bookend boys played with some Christmas gifts while the middle one enjoyed iPad time.

(this sink from Walmart (their toy brand) is a HUGE hit. 2/3 LOVE it.)

Daddy got home after we finished reading and every body was able to tell him about their day and wish him a “sleep sweet” so bedtime went well also. Honestly, golden stars all around. I think the excitement of buddies coming over today was another big motivator.

I started a new book and deleted my social media apps off my phone before calling it a night. I really REALLY need to take a huge step back when it comes to scrolling. I am a master justifier and any time I am on a kick ( currently : decluttering/minimalism ) I use that as an excuse for extra media time in the name of research. No more. I also, as a thirty-three year old with responsibilities, need to go to bed at a reasonable time. Again, being with my kids 24/7, I justify staying up entirely too late so I can have time alone. Well, jokes on my night owl self because I’m flipping that narrative to waking up too early! I eventually want to get up at 4:30am but will probably start waking around 6am. Tomorrow is the day. Hold me accountable, okay?

SUGAR FAST UPDATE : I did very well all day. I realized AFTER I had partaken in a fortune cookie that I had messed up. Treating it like whole30 / 75hard and restarting today!

Have lots of thoughts swirling around so I may come back later and lay em out or I may just save it for tomorrow..

Was that mysterious? JK. I am many things but mysterious isn’t one.

Talk tomorrow? Later today? Soon!

Because of His Grace,
