Well, I took my little moment yesterday to pout (again) about our Europe trip being cancelled and today I'm moving on! Honestly, I was already mostly "over it"...we've known the trip was cancelled for a long time now. The disappointment had already been processed, repeatedly, and the shock/anger/frustration had largely dulled. But it still hit me… Continue reading Vacation 2.0

I’m not thinking about this today.
Today I'm spending the day not thinking about this. Not thinking about the fact that we are supposed to be boarding an airplane later this afternoon and flying to Ireland.Not thinking of my boys experiencing their first overseas trip, flying on an airplane all night long!Not thinking about my little nieces and nephew waiting for us… Continue reading I’m not thinking about this today.
2020 strikes again
Oh, 2020...you really are a pain. At this point in the year, it's sad to say but I'm almost unfazed by weird, random cancellations and things just NOT going according to plan. I mean, what's new, right? I'm supposed to be reporting back about Asher's big open water swim challenge from last night.....but, of course, like… Continue reading 2020 strikes again
Church: Pandemic-style and Travel Tuesday: Venetian-style
Last night we went to the 6:30 pm Monday night service offered by our church. This is actually only the 2nd time we have been there in person since March. All services had been offered virtually, but they've been back in person too now for a while. I especially wanted to go in person last night… Continue reading Church: Pandemic-style and Travel Tuesday: Venetian-style
People!!
I really hadn't realized it, but we had not seen PEOPLE in a really, really long time. I mean, we have "kind of" seen some people- obviously we now see my parents, we went to a friend's for a bonfire a few weeks ago and I've seen my neighbors out and about. But in terms of… Continue reading People!!

I pulled out a bunch of delicious green beans yesterday and the jalapenos and serranos are growing well too. I think the lettuce is basically done for, and… Continue reading High/ Low- Random Edition
Parenting Fatigue. TGIF.
Wish I were sitting back here this morningTGIF.Since I changed jobs a few years ago and generally feel much happier with my work/life balance and my job overall, I don’t typically dread the workweek or count down until it's over. So I don’t really embrace the whole “TGIF” thing too much.But today, TGIF. This week… Continue reading Parenting Fatigue. TGIF.
School
Well, it's been a few days now so I guess I have to stop pretending I’m still on vacation and talk about something else. How about….SCHOOL??? Because in the current climate, that’s a fun topic!!! 😊 Hehe. Seriously though, school talk is all the rage right now around here. Probably everywhere, I’m assuming. Our local… Continue reading School
Back to Reality + School Woes
No matter how hard I try, I always have sort of a hard time getting back in the groove after some time away. My 5 am alarm that I normally really have no trouble getting up to felt like a bullhorn going off in my room today. I hit the SNOOZE button (repeatedly), something I… Continue reading Back to Reality + School Woes
Is it finally just our turn?
I’ve been thinking about something lately, and yesterday on the 4th of July, I got thinking about it even more. Listening to patriotic songs that mention previous wars, battles, hard times, and glory… plus watching the old war planes do flyovers at the nation’s Capitol celebration, it made me think about this world's complicated history… Continue reading Is it finally just our turn?
