As usual, I've been meaning to post for ages, and then time gets away from me - - - which then makes it harder to post, because then I'm so far behind and I can't decide what I want to write about. So here's a bullet post of all the things that have been going on lately.
- Finn graduated from preschool. I cried. His school principal cried. I love his little school so much!

- I turned 45. Yikes.
- Turns out I don't have some weird, chronic illness making me feel so bad. It's just plain old sleep deprivation. Luckily, there's a cure for that! If only there was more time in the day.
- I am a much better mom when I'm not sleep deprived. I have more patience, I'm funnier, my kids like me more and I like them more. Crazy thing, sleep.
- We went on a family vacation to Lake Tahoe with my parents earlier this month. It was wonderful - the mountains soothe my soul, and apparently Finn feels the same way, as he wants to move there.
- I still hate my job but love the people. Often wonder if I'd hate my job if I worked somewhere else (probably, because being in healthcare just sucks these days). Often wonder if I'd be happier if I lived somewhere I love (I like where I live fine, but I don't love it - I certainly wouldn't chose to live here again if given the chance). But then I think I have such a great support system here, that perhaps I should just stay. So I'm giving myself a few years to think about it. No need to rush, I'll just ruminate on it a while.
- In the vein of loving where you live, I'm finally decorating my downstairs living area. It's almost done - just waiting on things to be delivered!
- Project Declutter My House is moving along. I've decided to do one project every couple of nights. One night it was cleaning out a closet, another it was going through a drawer, another it was sorting kids toys, another emptying a box that was still full from my move. I still have a long way to go (and I got side tracked with our vacation and haven't gotten back on track yet), but it feels good to be making progress.
