Time? It Flies, Y'all

I'm so sad that I haven't posted since Tuesday! I feel like I am constantly writing blog posts in my head, but...they never make it out of there. 

I have thoughts about songs I hear on the radio.

I have thoughts about baseball. (I really like baseball. Did you know?)

I have thoughts about my kids growing up.

I have thoughts about having an empty nest.

I have thoughts about my laundry. (Many of them include words that would not be appropriate for this blog.)

I have thoughts about not eating what I want to some of the time.

And although all these thoughts are winging about in my mind, I have been unable to sit down and give them a coherent black and white permanent place on the Internets. 

I'm going to try to be better about posting, even if it's just what we do on a certain day, and it's not all that exciting. I used to do that all the time, but I think somewhere along the way I started to feel like it had to be Something Special about which I posted. What I know, and have struggled to see in many ways, is that it's all special. It's special because we are here, and we are together...one step at a time.

(Do you see what I did there?) 

I do think the exercise has helped my general well-being. I think I have been a little more pleasant, had a little more energy, and been a little more laid back ("a little" is a step in the right direction, yes?). The exercise has not helped me get the laundry under control. Maybe I need to do the full 30 days? 

That is a goal for this week...getting the laundry down from a full-blown mountain to something more along the lines of an anthill. 

This is terribly enthralling, isn't it? 

Here is some news, for those of you that have been reading for a bit...My mom's friend, Jan, who had a liver transplant a few months ago, is about to go home! There have been some ups and downs since her initial surgery, but now she is just about to get back to her own house! She also just celebrated a birthday, and what a wonderful one it was! So, thank you for praying for her way back then, and if you think of it now and then, I'm sure that prayers for a smooth transition into a new normal would be greatly appreciated. 

If you continue to read here, know that that is also greatly appreciated. I am grateful for the bloggy friendships I have made...they are very meaningful to me. And it is so much fun to hear from friends that I know and don't get to see often, too! 

This might be one of the most random posts I have ever written, but that is a window into my brain right now. Good night!

UGH LAUNDRY. It is the bane of my existence.

So glad to hear about Jan - wishing her continued health and recovery.
