Feels like the dark cloud is being managed so much better. Happy you are finding your grateful hour by hour.
ReplyDeleteThat is a lot of stuff to do in one day. I laughed at putting heads back on your granddaughter 's dolls.
ReplyDeleteYou reminded me that I need to get a load out of the dryer and clean the litter box. Going to go do that now.
There wasn't a load in the dryer after all. Litter box done! ✅
ReplyDeleteI am amazed by how much we accomplish each day!!! This proves it!! you are a super hero!! I was tired just reading this....I love to make lists of what I have done all day. Justifying my existence. Lol
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised at the things I forgot to write down! Like feeding the dog, going to the bathroom, playing on the jungle gym at school while waiting to pick up my grandson, changing poopy diapers, chatting with my sister on the phone....wonder what else I'm forgetting.
