Blue Sunday
Thank goodness today has been Sunday. We’re tired from staying up too late last night. We’re feeling a bit drained from all the … well, small challenges that we’re presently facing: expensive car repairs, viruses, rush projects. Even Ian is working this weekend, which isn’t something he has to do too often.
It’s fine. Everything will be all right.
Housework. Sick boys. Freelance work. These are the things that have occupied our time this weekend instead of what we had planned: our annual trip to Mimi’s cabin in Strawberry in the Tahoe forest, to visit her and grandpa. Feverish children changed our plans.
We’re in a bit of a slump, you might say.
However, there were several sweet highlights. Like unexpected visits from friends, who fill up my heart with love and see deep inside me.
Low-key, take-it-easy play and movies to ease the disappointment, sickness, and crabbies. I think Lucas is well enough to return to school tomorrow, which is great because he’s feeling pretty blue and misses his friends.
The delicious mushroom, spinach, onion omelette Ian made me for breakfast.
A few feverish smiles and the wonderful opportunity to climb on Dad.
Some sewing for mama. I got to complete a small knot doll I started a month or more ago. She’s for Asher and I sewed all her clothing, hat, and hair today, using just leftover bits and bobs.
Ian said she looks a bit like a preschool teacher, and Asher immediately named her after his own teacher. So sweet.
I’m trying my hand at a new bread-making method. We’ll see how that turns out…. I also managed to finish a work project today, so that feels good, too.
And as for the rest of today, I’m thinking of snuggles and food and an early bedtime for all.

These days happen. Love your doll! Good luck with the bread. 🙂
