Hello hello! I didn't really intend to stop blogging for ~5 days, but I guess I did. Main reasons include: -Ivan is still in Mexico (gets home late tonight), so things have just been a little busier for me. -My parents came for the weekend (since I couldn't be in multiple places at once with… Continue reading I’m such a sucker! Back to volunteering….
I picked Asher up from cross country the other day, and when he got in the car and I asked about his day, he said, "Um... I got in trouble today." ???? Hmm??, I said. You did?? (concerned). (Fortunately, my boys "getting in trouble" at school is VERY rare, thankfully. They are usually always very… Continue reading In Trouble
T to the G to the I to the F. This kinda felt like the longest short week ever! Pretty sure that my terrible night of sleep on Tuesday just really kickstarted it to be a bit rough. Plus it's just been a really full bunch of days. But the week has definitely been on… Continue reading 1st CC meet and TGIF
Ohhhhh my goodness you guys. My heart is literally bursting even now like 12 hours later. I have to share this story. So last night was Asher's first "mock" cross country meet (just his own team, at the school, during practice). But they had to run an official course around the soccer and baseball fields,… Continue reading My heart is bursting
3 things on my mind today: Remote Training So our new nurse data analyst started on Monday (yay!). I mentioned before she is a nurse I used to work with, so I already knew her. She's great. I am the primary person training her, so I've spent a lot of time lately getting ready for… Continue reading Remote training, writing and 14 years
We are currently sitting pretty here on this first week of school, because fall activities aren't quite in full swing yet. I just spent 10 minutes adding upcoming events/practices to my calendar though, so I thought I'd share what's on the docket. ETHAN: 🔷Soccer is his big one. Practice = 3x/ week Monday 5:30-7 (here… Continue reading Fall Activities
1st Day is in the books: It was a pretty uneventful day. They seemed to have mixed feelings. Ethan seemed a bit more distraught at the idea of all the "free time with his friends" ending. They don't have to wake up until around 7:00-7:10, which is not too far off from when they often… Continue reading School, and a “kids morning routine” poll
It's here! Today is the first day of school, 2021. This is earlier than usual for our kids, due to some construction being done in the district next summer that requires them to end earlier this upcoming spring. So, back to school they go. Obviously, we just got back from vacation, too, so things feel… Continue reading 1st Day of School, 2021!!!!
Today: Today looks like a day I will definitely need to utilize some time blocking. I have several obligations sprinkled in that I need to schedule my work around. We are also closing in on a deadline at work. We need to have the kidney transplant data complete up to a certain point hopefully before… Continue reading Today/random
I'm happy to report we all survived our Six Flags Great America trip unscathed. It was a super fun day!! It was the 4 of us, plus one of Ethan's best friends as well as Ivan's 19 year old brother. Highlights: The boys are finally several inches taller than the 54" minimum for all the… Continue reading Exhilaration
