My husband brought my breakfast and coffee in bed this morning which does nothing to discourage my slug a bug ways, but I’m not complaining.

I spent this morning with two of the ladies I love most in the world, the afternoon with my husband, and then took a walk with my daughters. What a lovely day.

Saw the D&D movie tonight. It’s actually great! Like really really great.

Away at a music competition with my big kids. My oldest wakes me up to tell me I was snoring too loud. I doom scroll so he can fall asleep. After about twenty minutes my next oldest shouts out “it might be murder!” in her sleep.

@LaLaLisaCooper Sense and Sensibility or Pride and Prejudice - whichever one I’ve most recently read.

2nd loaf of bread. Amazing!

[Tam 🦬🌻 @TamOckree]

Made my first loaf of bread in my bread machine today. Total disaster. I am not giving up though - I will conquer this!

I’d like to thank @realTylerZed for the two darkly funny and inappropriate Valentine’s Day cards I got from my husband today.

And my whole family went running outside to see the fireworks. The neighbors were doing the same thing.

@that_chapter Here in the Midwest we’re like “Why would I fly? It’s only an 8 hr drive!”

Groceries ordered. Laundry started. Math done for 50% of the Ockree kids. I love that every 47 days or so I’m actually a little bit on top of things.

Watching the Addams family with the two oldest kiddos. I haven’t seen it in so long - we’re cracking up.

@heathtrampe Hey you!

My mini me designed and made a shirt for a friend at church who has a homestead. ❤️

Saw a meme about grounding your homeschool kids from cereal. Based on the reactions I got when I suggested it to my kids, this might be a viable punishment.

[Tam 🦬🌻 @TamOckree]

One of my favorite things is to tell my husband that I’m going to go to bed early and then proceed to not do that even a little bit.

Took our youth group ice skating this afternoon and so I’ll never be warm again.

On Wednesdays we bring a friend home with us from coop. I love the giggles of delight my kids have when the friend is here. ❤️

I am not my best mom self at 3 am.

Play auditions for all four of my kiddos today. Excited to see if they make it.
