Day 21

Today had it's good moments. And today had it's not so good moments. 

Of all things, this morning as I was using a butter knife mind you to break open frozen bagels to put into the toaster for the kids' breakfast, I actually sliced open my thumb. With a butter knife. How this is possible, I really haven't a clue, but there was blood everywhere and it hurt! So, be careful out there with your butter knives. They aren't as innocent as you think. 

Was able to cross off a few items that I wanted to accomplish today, so that's always a plus. The kids are still adjusting (or that's what I tell myself when they get all crazy-like) and so we continue to work on it. 

Four days down. I'm sorry to say it feels longer.

Kids are in bed. I probably won't last much past nine considering the week we've had, but in typical Jennifer style, I've borrowed three huge books from the library at one time. How I think I can manage to read three books in three weeks when the only Me Time that I get (if it's a good day) is after 8pm and by then, I'm spent and nod off if I read for more than an hour or so. It's comforting to have them piled next to me though. It's like I always have friends just sitting there smiling at me. Just there, waiting to chat to me whenever I've got the chance. It's nice. And on that kinda pathetic and slightly creepy note, I shall sign off. 

"Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense."

- Ralph Waldo Emerson
