I had a massage yesterday, and it was just what I needed. So, so, relaxing.<br /><br />Converting your fireplace to gas will be really nice, and you'll get so much use out of it. Christopher's parents have a wood fireplace, and I love sitting by it, but it sure is a lot of work. And messy work too!<br /><br />Some positive things in my life are:<br />- Christopher is on holidays after tomorrow, and we have no plans! Yay!<br />- I am feeling really calm these days, which is nice, as my nervous system hasn't always been this calm<br />- I made some amazing new friends at school this semester, and I really put myself out there and tried to be vulnerable <br />Jolene - EverydayFoodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11490816021651698189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-32688461033634134182021-12-01T16:41:57.654-06:002021-12-01T16:41:57.654-06:00I am so sorry that your three relaxing vacation da...I am so sorry that your three relaxing vacation days were not what you had anticipated. That truly is a bummer, but this is life with kids, I guess? You never know what's coming next.<br /><br />On a more positive note, I am glad you got that fireplace fixed up. I wish I had a spot like this to lounge and read. It sounds so cozy!

That is such a bummer, friend! <3<br /><br />That's so exciting about your fireplace! That will be so great during your long, cold winters. Hooray! And I am very glad you were able to reschedule your massage. <br /><br />It's been a really positive time for me! I bought a new car, got a really sweet email from a blog reader who wanted to show her appreciation for my blog in a really amazing way, and my Dolphins are on a win streak after starting the season looking ROUGH. And my favorite holiday is just two days away, woohoo!<br /><br />Stephanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01664500645286563334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-27792685208735645162021-11-18T08:58:43.942-06:002021-11-18T08:58:43.942-06:00Thank goodness you at least got one day!

Jeff closes on his house today, but sadly it doesn't have a fireplace, and I'm very curious to see how long it takes us to get a quote for gas, or just buy one of those electric ones. katielookingforwardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02739640153974439332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-5243996779920582622021-11-17T15:28:46.467-06:002021-11-17T15:28:46.467-06:00Glad you are finally getting the massage.

My sister is dealing with that right now, too with her 3 littles. Said they have had one thing after another, and it's driving her absolutely bananas. Especially because then her girls have to be home from school and are required to get covid tested every time they have a little sniffle...exhausting! I wonder if it's just the aftermath of the kids being cooped up for almost 2 years, with such little germ exposure. All the other viruses and bugs are probably having a field day on these fresh young kids that aren't immune to anything yet! haha!

...Do you think Will would like something like this?<br /><br />https://glutenfreeonashoestring.com/lighter-gluten-free-banana-cake/<br /><br />I love banana cake! I have never had a gluten free version but I bet it would be just as good with bananas taking the stage! You could also make gf banana muffins with chocolate chips and then do the cream cheese icing on top!<br /><br />I feel for parents of preschoolers. I worked at a preschool for a long time and the exclusion policies are so tough for parents who also are trying to get work done. And now with Covid policies...<br /><br />I love your should less days. If I ever take a day off there are so many "to-do" items I think of doing but we need mental health days too. dailycandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10794403026440692616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-55006731399103843032021-11-16T16:03:00.914-06:002021-11-16T16:03:00.914-06:00Ohhh massages.

Basically, the only reason I get jealous when I consider elite athletes lifestyle is their easy access to regular massages. <br /><br />That is such a bummer about the PTO, though I completely understand feeling a form of relief when you discovered it was a double ear infection. It can be so frustrating to chase fevers (we did this once for 2 weeks when my daughter was little and I actually had her checked for an ear infection TWICE, and then finally the third time, when her fever still wasn't going away, she did end up being diagnosed with a raging ear infection. Poor soul. Knock on wood, ear infections have gotten so much better; I'd say both kids haven't had one since they were 4?). <br /><br />The house we bought had a converted gas fireplace; we don't use it as much as we should because it's such a lovely heat and ambiance!<br /><br />Hope the boys give you a bit more sleep the next few days and so glad everyone seems to be back to normal in the health department. Hang in there. It really does get so much better as they get older in terms of the germs and infections and fevers! Promise.Elisabethhttp://elisabeth-frost.comnoreply@blogger.com
