My blogging has been sporadic lately. I feel jumbled. I want to write and process and update, but I can't seem to sit down and do it. I lack the ability to put fingers to keyboard and write about what I really want to, except to write about why I can't write, which isn't even original as I've done it before, here. Instead, Michael and I have been watching a lot of Netflix until much too late at night.
And so, I present:
Things I Don't Have Energy To Write About*
*In blog or email** or my go-to-when-all-else-fails journal mode of writing
**I also can't seem to get the energy to email anyone even though I feel like I'm out of touch with everyone I know and will be for the next 5 years
- Setting into life in Guatemala
- Balancing work and home and family
- Feeling good about my Spanish some moments and other times feeling like I can't communicate or understand anyone
- The (mis)adventures of being an overly impatient mom
- Missing family and friends and community
- The mom I was with one child versus two
- Christmas? It's almost December already? and my lack of feeling festive during what's normally my absolutely favorite time of year
- I promise there really are things I'm thankful for
- Why I Shouldn't Write a Blog Post When I'm Feeling Blah (Check.)
Since I don't have a lot of people to talk to about these, theoretically I could blog about them, hang my words out there for whomever to read, mostly, so I can process verbally my life. Instead, I just wrote a nice and neat list. Progress.
And now it's time for random pictures of my girls because I do realize it is Thanksgiving in America even if today feels like any average day here in Guatemala City, and I am very thankful for these silly, life-giving, precious girls:

| Our very own Doc McStuffins |
 |
| These moments |
 |
| My shoes |
 |
| Also my shoes |
 |
| When this girl is hungry, nothing is going to stop her, not even a banana peel. |
 |
| Thankfulness in the midst of feeling blah. |
