As this week comes to an end these are the things I am currently thankful for.
1) That Clark has his license now so I can send him out to do errands like picking up dinner for us.
2) For this lull at work before things ramp up at the end of August/beginning of September.
3) For the bruises on my leg healing from where I fell against the couch 2 weeks ago.
As another weeks begins these are the things currently on my mind.
1) I am a bit bummed that the World Cup is over and we still have several weeks before football season begins.
2) I can feel a bit of the blues creeping their way in again. I am trying my best to fight it off.
3) I really cannot believe how fast the summer is going by. There is only a little over a month before the boys go back to school.
For the 2nd quarter of 2026 I finished 5 books.
1) A Few Drops of Bitters: A Savannah Reid Mystery by G.A. McKevett: another installment of one of my favorite cozy mystery series. These books are not great literature but they are fun and easy to read.
2) Wake Up Grateful: The Transformative Practice of Taking Nothing for Granted by Kristi Nelson: this book was a nice blend of a memoir and practical advice. It did get a bit repetitive at times though.
3) Anne Perry and the Murder of the Century by Peter Graham: an interesting look into the case that inspired the movie Heavenly Creatures. The author is able to breakdown the legal and psychological parts of the trial very well.
4) The Child by Fiona Barton: the second book in the Kate Waters trilogy. I enjoyed the twist at the end. I knew that things were not quite as they seemed but I did not guess the reveal.
5) Mindset: The New Psychology of Success by Carol S. Dweck, PhD: the author gave good practical tips on how to move from a fixed to growth mindset. It really made me think about how I talk not only to myself but to the boys and what to change to make all of us have a more growth mindset.
As another week begins these are the things currently on my mind.
1) The crazy hot temps will be back this week. I always feel so bad for my hubby having to work in that super hot factory.
2) I am wondering if Preston's flag football game will be cancelled on Wednesday because of the heat.
3) I am wondering why it always seems that I end up taking 2 steps back whenever I feel like I am getting ahead.
Here are the pictures for the week.
As this first full week of July comes to an end these are the things I am thankful for.
1) That adding Clark to our car insurance is only going to increase our rate $50 a month.
2) That Preston was able to be on the same flag football team as his friend from school and that he has the coach who seems to be the best at teaching the game to the kids (although he does not play around at all).
3) That I was able to schedule Clark's wisdom teeth extraction within a pretty decent amount of time.
