It was one thing pressing "publish" on Matthew's post that was nearly a year old, most of which was written months and months ago. It was another thing to type up Garrett's interview and pull pictures for his very belated birthday post. But making sense of a random collection of photos taken every hour almost a year ago? This ought to be interesting.
 |
| 6:30 Up and done with my workout (which, if I'm being honest, never happens anymore because now that Matthew is in school I just do my workout once I get them all dropped off. Perhaps not the best way to maximize my time, but I can't say I miss the early alarm) |
 |
| 7:00 Pretty sure this could have been a photo from today because I definitely still have eggs and toast nearly every morning for breakfast |
 |
| 8:00 Ugh. This. Our dumb legislature was considering a bill that essentially would have allowed people to seek criminal action against librarians if they as parents disapproved of the books their children were checking out (which effectively would have resulted in certain books being banned from libraries to eliminate the risk that "sensitive" books were checked out by minors). I had words to share with my legislators and the committee considering the bill (and while I know the bill did not pass in its original form, I'm pretty sure some pieces of it were passed into law in an effort to hold librarians more accountable, which is just silly because A) all of our libraries have self-checkout machines and B) parents--not librarians--should be the ones monitoring what their children read) |
 |
| 9:00 Not entirely sure why Connor isn't at school, but I'm guessing he's recovering from an illness. And it looks like we're getting ready to play war |
 |
| 10:00 Costco run with neither Matthew nor Connor in tow, so I'm guessing Darrell was working from home so he could watch them |
 |
| 11:00 Grabbing a bunch of Ramadan books that I put on hold at the library because I embrace the opportunity for my children to learn about people different from them instead of feeling threatened by it (and while Ramadan books were never specifically addressed in conversation about the law that certain lawmakers were trying to pass, I can promise you two things: 1) I have checked out and enjoyed reading with the boys some of the children's LGBTQ+ books that were discussed and 2) Once you start the slippery slope of what kind of content is "offensive" and needs to be limited, it's probably only a matter of time before books celebrating Muslim holidays start making the list) |
 |
| 12:00 If only the groceries would put themselves away... |
 |
| 1:00 Always so many dishes |
 |
| 2:00 Aha! I spy a trash can by the couch. I'm guessing Connor had a stomach bug the day before and is also home this day as a recovery day (and apparently "recovering" means "making lots of messes" because oofta that room is a disaster) |
 |
| 3:00 After school show |
 |
| 4:00 I spy William with a trumpet and a violin, which is why he isn't riding the bus home |
 |
| 5:00 Cleanup time before dinner |
 |
| 6:00 Looks like my mom is babysitting and Garrett has decided that he's going to have her help him get started planting seeds for the spring |
 |
| 7:00 Getting a little work done organizing photos before Book Club (and not sure where Darrell is but obviously he had a commitment hence the need for a sitter) |
 |
| 8:00 Book Club fun (I spy "The Silent Patient"--that was a twisted one!) |
 |
| 9:00 Next time I'm going to hire a sitter who's also a maid so she'll get the kids to bed AND clean my kitchen (just kidding Mom!) |
 |
| 10:00 Not sure what kind of photo project I'm working on, but clearly it's still going strong |
 |
| 11:00 You know bad choices are being made when we're sharing memes instead of getting ready for bed at this point of the night |
 |
| 12:00 Oofta. Definitely bad choices. This is way past my bedtime |
