Conversation with my husband
DH and I got to go on a date tonight.
Since I'm eating eggs in limited amounts again now, I even found something I could have at the restaurant: an egg poached in water, with nothing added. Simple, yet tasty. DH had an all-you-can-eat fish and chips platter, and I sipped peppermint tea while we talked. It was nice being there together, just relaxing and talking.
On our way home, I reflectively said, "I'm guessing that most people probably wouldn't try to learn how to make sourdough, kombucha and sauerkraut, all for the first time, all in one week. It's a lot, but I'm enjoying it."
DH added, "AND starting a garden, AND homeschooling, AND doing a major household organization project, all at once. Most people wouldn't do that."
I chuckled, feeling a bit sheepish. "Probably not, I guess."
DH said, "That's because most people are sane."
Then he quickly patted my knee and said, "You'll do just fine, I'm sure."
Maybe I should try to pace myself a bit one of these days. Just maybe.
Jumping into life headfirst with both feet is so much more exciting. :)

Your husband is lovely, and so are you.
I love your enthusiasm and your fearlessness in trying new things.
You do more in a day than I do in an entire week!
I agree with Liz, you have a very dear DH!
I'm like you I tend to try to do way more then most people in a week. It's just more exciting that way and keeps things busy.
Kind of like when I try to schedule 4 drs visits with 4 different dr at 4 diffent locations all in one day
Love it...
I have the same tendency to take a lot on at once, and in spite of frequent feelings of overwhelm, I wouldn't have it any other way.
Your ventures are much more creative than mine, though ;)
I agree with liz; you are both lovely.
You do stay busy but your posts always convey happiness in what you do so jump on in!
