(Only because I am breastfeeding and cannot have dairy, not because I am a pretentious twat).

Car naps are the worst. at least both kids are napping, right? I just wish I could do a workout while they nap instead of sipping this Starbucks drink, which definitely won’t help me lose the rest of this extra weight. :p

does anyone remember those Dear America books? they were diaries of fictional adolescents from various time periods. I loved them! I have been wanting to go back and read them again, to see how different it is to read them as an adult.

I wonder if those had an influence on my choice to become a social studies teacher. I guess my first inclination was to become an editor, or do something with writing. that came from my teachers always telling me how good of a writer I was, probably. I enjoy writing but I wonder if I enjoy it because that was what I got the most praise for growing up.

No one gave me praise for checking out non-fiction books about the Titanic and the Romanov family as a fifth grader, did they.

I always had a love of “real” things, and myseries. I drive myself crazy thinking about solutions to real-life mysteries, which is why I try to avoid those threads on Reddit that pop up talk about them every once in awhile.

Fictional mysteries, however, forget it. I have never been interested.

I keep trying to think of new hobbies I could do, but I am coming up short.

Lorelei woke up at 7:30 this morning all smiles. I am tired. so very tired. my body also doesn’t ever let me get into solid sleep. I am in parent mode, even when asleep.

My dreams are always about me being younger and childless. I guess sometimes we all need that.
