5 things I did for myself this week


One I made a phone call I’ve been dreading 


Two I bought new hair elastics for me and Lil Momma 


Three I found out my mom’s bank has a walk-in notary and solved a months long problem


Four I ate a real dinner on Thursday 


Five I picked up my holds from the library!!



2 bummers from this week


One Lil Momma got sent home with the “bug” on Thursday - poor kid is having an oof end to October


Two my Chromebook is still MIA, so blogging and commenting is extra challenging (but hoping to keep searching during what will be a quiet weekend due to #1)



2 things I’m looking forward to 


One Lil Momma is doing Matilda Jr in her musical theater class for the next 6 months and the cast list should be out this weekend!


Two I’m trying 2 new mystery series and my holds came in


And one bonus anecdote


 I have been buying random little fall decorations - skeleton dogs and dragons - that balance Luke’s love of horror and my love of cute, weird things (I have a whole plan to dress them up for Christmas). I saw a lantern online that looked perfect for our tv stand - owls, moons, stars - and bought it (and forgot it) (oops). Earlier this week, I came home and saw a huge box on the island addressed to me… apparently, the lantern was like 2+ feet tall! Oops! Now I’m just hiding it around the house trying to see how long it takes Luke to notice it (5 days and counting as of this moment)…



Do you like numbered lists? Did you ever make a size mistake ordering things online?

  I am having one of   those work weeks that just beat you up . Vague asks that do n’t make sense, changing timelines and details, being behind the ball but not having any way to get ahead… Sigh, this is not when I shine. However, I had my personal pity party last night and am trying to let the stress go and do what I can do with what I have when I have it.   For this week, I wanted to ramble away about  Lil Momma’s audition for a special production class  at her musical theater school as it took up most of our energy last weekend:   Lil Momma went in strong on Saturday am and was so ready with her bit of song and good attitude. With both us knowing more than half the auditioners would NOT make it in, I tried to balance my car ride pep talk with real talk ride to the studio, for sure.    When I picked her up, she was devastated, unfortunately, because a bunch of the younger kids and some of the competition team kids had gotten a callback for that ...

to chop or not to chop?

  This was the first week with everyone a certain level and above   going back into the office on Tuesdays and Wednesdays   and oof, it was a lot. I have been going in on Tuesdays and Thursdays for well over a year – the Mr thought I should get out of the house more and the change in scenery and ability to “leave” work did me good – but, this change of energy with so many people and so much noise and all the wild energy and feelings coming off everyone about the change was exhausting…   …and, then there’s my hair.   My hair washing schedule worked really well with my Tues / Thurs in office days. For context, I have curly hair down barely to my shoulders. I treat my curls with fear and respect. I try to only wash my hair 2-3 times a week as not to wash all the $$ I spend on dyeing it down the drain and not to dry out my curls. On days where I don’t wash it, half the time I end up spraying it down with water and recurling it (even though they don’t look amazing, i...

One  It’s a chop, but not a wild one! And, an explanation (which was more of a win, haha!)… I had gone to the same place to get my hair done for 10 years up until 2 years ago. When they dyed my hair, it would burn my scalp and I’d get a rash on my forehead and ears, but they said it was just because I was sensitive. Apparently, the dye was too intense chemically and impacted my curl pattern as well. SO, my stringy, knotty, gross ends were the damage from those years, while the hair above is healthier because of the better for me dye I get at the place I have now.  I HAD 2 DIFFERENT CURL PATTERNS GOING ON ON THE SAME STRANDS OF HAIR?!?!?!  No wonder it / I was a mess. My mind was blown! I told her to cut off all the damage and am so much happier with it. Though, it still doesn’t work for day 2 in office, so I guess my next adventure will be to see if my roots stay mostly bearable if I’m washing my hair 2-3 times midweek…   Two  Next week is school vacation here....
