My husband took the kids up to a friends house for board games & Christmas fun.
I stayed home for an incredible 5 hours & counting of time to myself.
Did some work done and then I just discovered Roku has many (all?) of "Midsummer Murders."
I love a good "new to me" British mystery show.

I've never met Mrs Pham. Her son and my husband are friends. Mrs. Pham is making us dinner because she is really kind and likes to cook.
We like to eat. Especially authentic, homemade Vietnamese food. 😊
Also - I don't have to think about what's for dinner tonight! 🎉

Remeasured the 11 year old at feeling like he seemed taller this last week.
He did. He's now 5'5".
He's an inch away from my height. I knew it would happen someday but I'm not prepare for it to be so soon! 😭😭😭

I listen to several history podcasts with British hosts.
1. I've learned a ton
2. I often fall asleep because their accents lull me to sleep. 😆

My 7 year old is playing some game by using old (clean) yogurt cups as castles. The kids like to stack them and make large castle.
My 11 year old just told her "Don't make too many castles & take too much land like the Romans. They had too much & were unable to protect what they had."

One of my children is having hand surgery tomorrow to remove a large splinter.
He can't eat after midnight.
It is now 26 minutes past bed time and all three of my children are in the kitchen eating apples, cheese, and salami.
I think, they think I don't know they are stalling.

1. I'm horrified that a CEO was killed and people are ok with that, even cheering it on
2. I think insurance and the red tape/paper work around it are making the problem worse.

Church today:
I walked in a little late and was BLASTED with the most delicious scent. Food cooking to be eaten together at our family meeting, after the service.

Me: what's your team name?
11 yo who has his first basketball game tonight: we are named after the biggest military blunder in history.
Me:.... bay of pigs? Vietnam?
Him: Trojans.

So, I finished my memoir in spring of 2023.
I've done a bit of editing. I've had a few friends look at it. Most just said "great job!" without specific feedback.

Last year // this year.
Late Thanksgiving + Travel + extra furniture + being sick = it's Dec 5th and our Christmas corner is looking sad.
I got the advent calendar set up by the first and hung stockings. But so far that's it.
Today I got the Christmas music playing so that helps a bit.

One of my favorite things to eat are jalapeños, stuffed with cream cheese, wrapped in bacon.
We've been struggling with stuffy noses and sinus issues.
So tonight I'm eating the above stated snack. Except I swapped out the jalapeños with habaneros from our garden.

Calling it.
Everyone has runny noses, sore throats, and headaches.
We got through what we needed to for school today.
Sick day from here on out. Which means, NatGeo documentaries on archeological discoveries. 😊
(I love that I have nerdy kids.)

Our tv broke many months ago. Right before movie night.
We scrambled and found a smaller one that night on Facebook. $40 I think?
The guy gave us a second one free with our purchase. 😂
We then got another free one from family (and recycled all the other ones.)

I drink one cup of coffee a day. Most days I don't even finish that cup.
On a rare day, I'll make a second cup.
My kids asked why I drink coffee every day in a tone that implied it's like drinking too much alcohol.
I told them many people drink 2,3,4 & sometimes 5 cups a day.
They were shocked.

At family's for thanksgiving.
Our kids are sleeping in the closed in sunroom.
I didn't realize there was a security camera out there until late yesterday night. They weren't changing in the room, just sleeping.
Tonight before bed, my 11yo gets up, walks over to the camera, and turns it around.

Family is watching the cowboys.
Me? I'm sitting outside.
San Antonio is getting weather temps in the 50° and it's wonderful. Exactly how thanksgiving should feel.
Sitting outside, listening to the Rest is History, drinking a shiner, & eating left overs from turkey dinner.

I'm not cooking today.
I'm a little sad about it. I think in a week, I'll defrost, dry brine, smoke the turkey I have in the freezer.
I know it's a lot of work, but when it's just for my little family, it's fun.

Listened to the first of 4 episodes on the American Revolution from "The Rest is History" podcast.
I love getting a British perspective on such events.
