trying.

Yesterday was one of those days. One of those days where by the end you are absolutely mentally and emotionally drained. So today I’m trying to focus on gratitude.

  • Today I am thankful for the extra day to study for midterms. (Ethan woke up sobbing because his head hurt so bad – and he had a fever. So we both stayed home today.)
  • Today I am thankful for the fact that Ryan came home from work healthy and unharmed. (Two of his guys had [unrelated] accidents/injuries today at work.)
  • Today I am thankful for the wonderful FALL weather! We had a *cold* front come through last night, so the high today was in the 60s. It was great. So in honor of our fall weather, I made soup for dinner. And I made my mom’s pumpkin cake for dessert.

You can only imagine my complete and utter disappointment when I excitedly looked up the recipe, only to find that it calls for milk. AHHHHH!!!! Today, I am not thankful for Makayla's milk allergy.

Just don't use regular milk - use soy, coconut, or almond milk. I bet it would work fine!

I can sympathize. My day was like that today.

Let me know if you are interested in the tutoring job. I think you would be great.
