I managed to spend almost the entire thanksgiving vacation week sick.
Now that it's Monday, O started the day with a horrendous cough which got suspiciously less frequent and intense once I told him he could stay home if he was sick.
I'm still not completely recovered but I think I've found some energy and motivation in the battle with clutter, which I started full blast yesterday and am determined to win this time.
Thought of the day:
I should never let people drag me down to a lower level of interaction than the standards I have worked hard all my life to achieve.

Diary of a Confused Mom: November 26th 2015
It's been a very busy week and now here we are on Turkey day. We're trying a fried turkey this time, a first for all of us. Let's hope it works out because the household currently has 15 expectant bellies!
I can't do my exercise because my neck has been acting up and, surprisingly, I'm pretty bummed about it.
Thought of the day:
Ignorance is a close relative of intolerance.

Diary of a Confused Mom: November 16th 2015
Today I was asking the boys if my workout was paying off by making me look more fit.
They said yes immediately (mainly because they know that's the response I'm seeking) and then I pushed further mentioning how I feel even my face is benefiting as well.
At which point T piped up excitedly "Ya! It doesn't have as many cracks in it anymore!"

It was a bit of an odd yet rewarding feeling working out with the boys this morning. Then in the evening we made clay necklaces as gifts for their teachers.
Feeling exhausted but fulfilled.

Today was O's short low key performance on the trumpet as an introduction to an elementary school play.
He came into my room in his formal uniform and asked if he could borrow a comb. I said yes and turned away so he wouldn't see my mouth drop.
This is the first time O has ever combed his hair. A glimpse into life with a teenage boy? Suppressing a chuckle now but thinking it might turn into tears in the future.

Bus problems, snotty faces and school frustrations...Oh my!

Diary of a Confused Mom: November 10th 2015
Today I shopped at Gymboree..in the girls' section. I felt a bit lost but mostly delighted at all the cute pink outfits I could now legitimately justify buying.
Coupled with yesterday's experience of visiting the new local coffee shop, it seems many of my [rather small and unambitious] dreams are coming true.
