I cannot seem to get the badge over here, but in an
effort to get myself fired up for Friday, I’m joining in with Susan to do Five for Friday: my five favorite things.
Coffee: I’m not a I need the caffeine before
anyone speaks to me sort of person. I like coffee, I like the taste,
the smell. I don’t even drink a full cup most days (although all this week I’ve
been having two so I’ve been a jittery mess). It’s just nice.
Books: I got in a little bit of a rut in June and couldn’t
get myself reading, but I turned that back around in July and read 12 books. A
couple long ones, too. My favorite was Attachments by Rainbow Rowell – you should
go read it now.
Feeling in control: I take meds on and off for anxiety
and depression. I got off them around the holidays because I missed a bunch of
days and the start-up for me is hard (I get really nauseous) so I held out to
see how I felt. I thought if I monitored myself I could catch myself before it
got too bad. After a slight spiral and a big meltdown a little over a week ago,
I started on them again and I can already see a difference in how I handle the
children. My fuse is longer right now, is what I’m saying.
Kindergarten: My baby boy is going to kindergarten in 2.5
weeks! I’m legit excited. Not really sad, except in a small “my baby’s growing
up” sort of way. I think it will be good for him – he’s such a
learner and I’m so glad for him to continue to be in
situations where he will learn. Plus, this weekend I’m taking him BTS shopping
for his supplies and clothes. He will be wearing a uniform, sort of. There is
an array of 4-5 color collared shirts he can wear, and khaki or navy pants (or
shorts, but Mr Picky doesn’t like to wear shorts). Fun stuff!
The fact that it’s Friday: Yesterday felt like a Tuesday
to me – I was so confused. This is what happens when I have to be out of the
office for work mid-week (Wednesday I traveled for work). SO. Friday is very
good. Could be worse, is what I’m saying.

I wish I could buy into coffee. I'd prefer it over soda, I know that for sure! I'm glad you're feeling back in control, it's important to realize when sometimes we can't control everything on our own.
I love coffee, it just doesn't like me. Like with every cup, I pay for it with, ahem, digestive distress.
Love me some books. And since I managed to break my Nook a month or so ago (tears were shed) I've actually been re-reading some of my actual book collection and really enjoying it. I'm still dying to get my hands on another eReader or tablet w/ eRead capabilities, but since my b-day is in 3 weeks, I'm waiting for that.
Feeling in control - what's that? The preggo hormones are getting to me. I'm going a little crazy over here. I'm afraid that doesn't bode well for the whole potential PPD.
Kindergarten: Can you believe it? I'm psyched for my baby girl to go to Kindergarten. So many of my friends are having pity parties for themselves and while I certainly will miss her, I remember having SO much fun in school - especially those early years when everything was new and logical. :) I know she's going to love it. (And I'm sure S will too - he's such an intellectual anyhow!) And she'll be wearing the same plaid uniforms that I wore in school, so there's a fun little bit of nostalgia going on for us.
Friday - Friday to me means I get to have my husband home for 2 whole days! I love Fridays. :)
