This will be a short and error-ridden post. I’m utterly exhausted at just the beginning of a family weekend away in snowy mountains that calls for the two uses of the word “trying.”

Trying to go with the flow

Trying not to hurt anyone’s feelings

Trying not to be trying

Trying to get your set of children to be the behaved children

Trying to ignore one person’s stubborn behavior

Trying not to be trying, again

Trying not to partake in gossip as soon as another leaves the room

Trying not to be exhausted the entire time, because that would make you the “trying” one that everyone else is trying to get along with

Exhausting

Have a great weekend. Try to at least!
