on not blogging every day

There are people out there who blog every single day. I think that's a pretty cool thing. I sometimes wonder what it would be like to be able to go back and read something about each day. Then I remember that it is nearly impossible for me to blog everyday and I forget the whole idea.

If I blogged every day last week, the very condensed version would look like this:

Monday: I worked in the morning, we ran errands in the afternoon, including one horrifying trip to the Dollar Store (I do not advise visiting this particular Dollar Store in the afternoon, ever, for any reason, due to the uh, colorful? people that shop there at that time), and we finished off the day with dinner at my parents. Oh, and the weather was hot.

Tuesday: My mom and I attempted to craft a book into a pumpkin. A week later, that project is still sitting on my table only half finished. Laci went to bed with a slight fever. And the weather was still hot.

Wednesday: Laci was sick. And it was still hot, although we stayed inside all day, so it didn't really matter.

Thursday: Laci was sick. Mia started running a fever. And it was still really hot.

Friday: No more fever for Laci, but lots of snot. Snot and fever for Mia. My cousin Aletha came to visit for the weekend! And it was still hot.

Saturday: No more fevers, but some very snotty noses. No work for Ryan! And it was even hotter than the day before.

Sunday: No work for Ryan! A real weekend! Full of snot. And it was still hot. Like almost 100* hot.

Monday: Still more snot. And yes, still hot.

Tuesday:  Snot.  Hot.  The end.

Somewhere in there, I managed to get sick too. Except, this mom doesn't get "sick days." So, scratch that, I am NOT sick. I just have a scratchy throat and stuffy/runny nose and a little cough and am achy and tired and whiny. But not sick. Just to be clear.

So, last week wasn't exactly fun, but we survived and are still surviving. Seriously, does the snot ever end? And when do we get to have some cool Fall weather?

But it was nice to have a real weekend as a family, complete with spaghetti for dinner on Sunday. It makes me so, so happy to finally have our weekends back after months and months of Ryan working.

I never did get my mini pumpkins last week, so that has been added to the list this week. Along with grocery shopping and finishing the book pumpkin craft project and sorting through Mia's clothes because sister is getting so big. I always have big plans early in the week. I rarely accomplish even half of these plans. Like sorting through Mia's clothes has been on the list for at least a month now. Oh well. If there is ever an award for good intentions, I'm definitely in the running for gold.

And speaking of intentions, I'm going to try to blog more this month. And decorate my house all Fall cozy (even though it has been 100*). And bake. And then blog about decorating and baking. And yes, it is entirely possible that none of this will actually happen. Anyone wanna take bets?
