I think this week is a 2.5 stars kind of week. Not the best week. Not the worst but not really one I’d want to repeat. Don’t know if I’ll do this every Friday but I’m going to recap my week (see it on a lot of blogs I enjoy, so imitation and flattery and all that, etc.)
Here’s a photo of the Easter garden flag I mentioned in Wednesday’s post:
Managed to accomplish almost all those items on the the list I shared. Great feeling! Let’s hear it for the chair!
You sang that line about the chair, right? You know in place of these lyrics:
Our Wonderful Spring Weather
So, this week we saw rain every single day. So thankful the sun is shining today. Makes my heart happy and my head spin with all the outside around the yard plans for the weekend. Never mind it’s still too early and probably too muddy for most of them.
On the flip side, rainy days are great for being stuck inside when feeling a bit blah and blue. So many times I could’ve worked this week but didn’t. First, because I was sickish (thinking likely something I ate over the weekend did it. Not the best food choices on my part.). Then, I didn’t work because J was not having a great week either (so much easier to be sick yourself than watch a child suffer).
Let’s talk about Rudolph Day!
I can show you how wonderful it looked in pictures:
Hadn’t made cinnamon rolls in a cake pan forever. (Note: these are still just grocery store ready to bake.)
Hot chocolate and Christmas movies!
Nice enough. However, how about the truth about yesterday?
It was not a good day. My youngest son woke up having a really hard time (mentally) and stayed home from school. I made those cinnamon rolls because I was stressed. My first Rudolph day breakfast was actually just a simple Chobani Flip yogurt but in peppermint crunch.
What about the hot chocolate? Yes, I did drink a cup of hot chocolate. First, I made a cup with a hot chocolate bomb picked up on clearance at the grocery store. I was so excited about it! However, it was disgusting. Thankfully, I’d picked up the Irish creme flavor earlier in the month. Much better. Only way to improve it would’ve been with the real thing added in the coffee cup.
Next, the movies pictured up there? Watched maybe two minutes of a Christmas Story but just wasn’t in the mood. Instead, I watched Gremlins. Suited my mood a bit better. And did a tiny bit of on-line window shopping. Just couldn’t make my mind up about anything.
Just a bit of a reminder that the pictures aren’t always the full story.
Today Feels Better
Since I’ve been sharing flower pictures all week, here’s the second bloom on the amaryllis. Bloomed in time for the March Rudolph day! Now, I’m ready for warm enough weather to set this plant back on out on the front porch.
J went to school today. I spent today running yesterday’s errands. Tractor Supply for bird seed (and a new bird feeder. That’s a secret, it just magically appeared in our yard, okay?) Then, Target for cat food (and people food, too plus a few Easter basket fillers).
It’s almost time for me to brave the insanity of car line pick up before we venture off to J’s appointment. (If you can spare a prayer that this appointment helps and things improve for him, I’d appreciate it!)
How would you rate your week?
