Things I’m grateful for going into this week:
1. Starting the week with my food already prepped. Yesterday my husband took B out for about an hour and a half, and I used that time to furiously cook. It makes the whole week feel better.
2. That my kid no longer seems disastrously tired in the evening when he doesn’t nap. A couple weeks ago I included in my gratitude post that he was back to napping every day, and then he immediately stopped napping again. With a kid, all you can count on is that you can’t count on anything. Anyway, previously when he didn’t nap he was a mess by bedtime. Now he seems fine. So I guess whatever he decides to do each day is fine with me.

3. Spring flowers. It has still been frigid and often wet, but spring flowers give me hope that better weather is around the corner.

4. A few recent opportunities to hang out with grown-ups. Last Thursday, after a preschool meeting, I hung out with some of the moms until midnight. MIDNIGHT. I died the next day and I’m dead now, but it was fun. Then on Saturday my ghost went to a drag brunch for a friend’s birthday.
5. In a few short weeks we’ll be traveling to San Diego. This morning when the boy, the dog and I went for a walk it was 35 degrees and my fingers were so cold they hurt by the time we got back. It will be April in two days. THIS IS NOT OKAY. It’s really got me looking forward to our upcoming vacation.
