1. I feel like I was suddenly thrust into adulthood this past week when we plunked down $12K for a new HVAC system because our last one was a fire hazard—thank goodness for 60 months same as cash. Practically like buying a car!
2. I took the kids and J’s friend, Ava, to see Sing! on Tuesday before school started back. A welcome relief from the stressors of school.
3. J is on restriction from her electronics for the rest of the month—this hurts me more than it hurts her, I think. Or at least as much so.
4. I totally meant to sit down and write yesterday but the rush of three kids smothering me with hugs and kisses got in the way and I forgot. At least I’m my own editor and can only chastise myself so much before shrugging it off and writing on Monday instead.
5. Switching meds again is no fun, but at least this time wasn’t met with ridiculous weight gain like the other times.
6. The med switch does have me hearing the crackles and pops of the Universe in a whole new way–it’s comforting.
7. It’s snowed, which means I am officially done with winter now and spring can come soon. How am I going to make it through the next two months???

I love you all, some more than others!
