A couple of positive tidbits from my week! I've had two "small wins" that involved me noticing an opportunity for improvement, saying something, and then change actually happening. #1: At work We use EPIC for our electronic medical records, and I basically live in there all day long for my job. Without getting too detailed/… Continue reading Speaking up + small positive changes
I've mentioned every year that I've had this blog how I really don't care for Easter. I won't blab on about it yet again, but the long and the short of it is: I just don't really like Easter. Besides enjoying the religious significance of it (for me), I just don't get whipped up over… Continue reading A fairly “un-enthusiastic Easter” weekend recap
The cool thing about having a blog is that you have a fun place to decompress and share details about your life with other people. The bad thing about having a blog is that.... other people know a lot about your life! Which, is NOT actually a "bad thing" in my opinion- obviously I choose… Continue reading New habits + blogging + feeling self-conscious
Hi!!! I am officially back. Well, we have been back for over a week now (since March 25), but I am finally back here in present day voice. I told myself that I was not allowed to resume posting any "regular" blog posts until I had completed my remaining trip recaps. I did this for… Continue reading Back in present voice!
No more work: YEE-HAW, vacation is here. I have been so busy getting ready for our trip, finishing work stuff, planning activities and checking the weather forecast (😂) that I kind of forgot the fact that a 2 week vacation means 2 weeks without work!!! I like my job a lot, and I fortunately don't… Continue reading Pre-vacay ramblings: work, packing, travel blogging and more
I like a lot of things about myself, but there are definitely some things I could do without. A big one: I am a worrier. And I perseverate on things. To the point that sometimes when I start going on about something, my mom will say point blank, "You are perseverating.... ". I really do… Continue reading Welcome to Crazy Town
Hello! Didn't mean to disappear. Asher and I left Thursday night (at like 7:30 p.m., after swim practice) to head to Milwaukee for a few days. The 13+ State swim meet was held this past weekend from Friday to Sunday, and although he didn't have any State qualifying times yet for the new 13-14 age… Continue reading Catching up on a weekend away
It's kind of blowing my mind right now that it's MARCH tomorrow. I do not feel that February was my greatest month ever over here. I am not sure what happened exactly, but it feels like it slipped between my fingers. Never fear, I am not about to start rehashing all the ways I ended… Continue reading A Monday at the end of February
After Tuesday's post lamenting how I have not been keeping up with life right now, I am happy to say my week turned out pretty good overall. Strangely enough, I think the weather + the boys' two no-school snow days actually helped. The unexpected days off meant that I did not have to follow their… Continue reading Friday report
As I've alluded to in other recent posts, probably ad nauseum at this point, I've been a little on the overwhelmed side lately. I'm sorry to bring it up again. But when I woke up this morning at 4:10 a.m. to the sounds of a windstorm outside my window, I was laying in bed thinking… Continue reading Keeping Up
GRATEFUL KAE
