Sorry for the radio silence over here... not sure where the last ~5 days went! My parents came to town Friday night (and are actually still here as we speak). We hadn't seen them since early December, which, as any faithful readers know, is a LONG time for me to go without seeing my parents.… Continue reading A belated 2023 Christmas celebration…finally feels like the new year
Last night Asher and I attended a Course Expo at the high school to learn about the various course offerings. His course selections for high school next year are due tomorrow already! It's hard for me to wrap my brain around the fact that I will have two kids in high school next year. WHAT?! Asher… Continue reading High school x2?!
Ohhhh I want this weekend to just keep going on!!! I liked this weekend so much. Friday was the big snow day, so although I worked, it had a "let's all just hunker down" feel. Then no work or school for any of us Saturday, Sunday OR today! (MLK Jr. Day Holiday) I feel like… Continue reading A perfect week and can the long weekend please continue?
Father Winter sure stopped by this week around here. I don't know the exact totals, but something in the 8 inch range on Tuesday, and yesterday into today we got hammered with another ~12 inches. I envision a wintery, mythical creature like this waving a snow wand over Wiconsin: I've been generally feeling it! Yes,… Continue reading Snowy snowy Saturday…
Whew, we're home!! As alluded to in my last post, we did not actually make it home Friday night as planned. Womp womp. As soon as we landed in Guadalajara, Ivan pulled up the Aeromexico airline app, checked our next flight and it said... "In the air". So much for that. It was already after… Continue reading Home, Charlie reunion, setting 2024 intentions…
I'm a little cranky today. I wish I had the rest of the week off now, but I don't yet. Why am I cranky? No particular reason really, but here are some musings that have been rolling around in my head. Reason #1: In general, I think I'm just feeling drained. Things are fine, and… Continue reading A-not-at-all-festive post
Final Christmas prep, or lack thereof I'm mostly about as done with Christmas as I'm gonna be this year, for now. Well, almost. My Christmas cards still need to be addressed, but they are here and ready and I have stamps. It is actually sort of nice that some of the pressure is "off", in… Continue reading Wrapping things up… and something I’ll miss
Hello hello! Happy Monday. This was a largely very nice weekend- shockingly "open", for our standards. We had no out of town visitors, Asher did not have swim practice, no one played soccer. The only events were a birthday party Asher attended on Fri night (but the Birthday Mom joyfully both picked him up and… Continue reading Weekend accomplishments/ why don’t I feel relaxed?
Darn it...despite my best intentions to keep blogging briefly and frequently after NaBloPoMo ended, I guess I really didn't. Today is Thursday, December 7th, and it looks like I've only posted 2x since the 1st. Work has been really busy this week. Lots of meetings, a project, and a last minute/ time sensitive "ask" that… Continue reading The past week, (mostly) photo edition
Day 30 of NaBloPoMo is here, and something strange has happened. I can’t really think of anything to write about today. Surprisingly, throughout these last 30 days, this has not been a problem. Ever! I mean, I’m not saying every post has been profound- nope, not at all. But I just sat here for a… Continue reading Final post… a day in the life
GRATEFUL KAE
