Full rainbow view from soccer parking lot on Wednesday night 😍 Whew, this week has felt chaotic. I had a dentist appt Monday, meetings all morning Wednesday + a haircut in the afternoon, another quick appointment Thursday... My work days have felt all over the place. The evenings have not been any calmer. I am… Continue reading Friday misc./ busy week/ end of freshman year!
Zooming on through May... we're really in the home stretch now, and dare I say the worst is behind us? This is the boys' last official week of school! Peeking ahead to next week.... Just gotta make it to Friday. Ethan: As I type this, Ethan should be finishing up his US History final exam… Continue reading Winding down fast
AHHH the weather has been amazing this week. Sunny and warm.... HOT even. I am so happy we're getting some great weather here in May, because I had been feeling a little bummed that we'll be away the first 2 weeks of June. Historically early June is one of the best times weather-wise in Wisconsin,… Continue reading Reminiscing… nurse schedules, summer, vacation hours…
1- Ethan's tennis banquet Last night we attended Ethan's end-of-season tennis banquet at school. It was at 5:30 p.m. and way across town (for me anyway, from home...). Ivan met us there from work. Ethan drove me, despite being essentially "rush hour" on the "busy/ scary interstate route" (which is actually just his normal route… Continue reading Friday 5: Misc
May 15th today! Halfway point through May. SO, how's it going? Overall, not as bad as I thought, really. We have had to do a fair amount of picking and choosing/ skipping things, which in some ways I suppose is unfortunate, but also has helped wield down the number of things from this list. I… Continue reading How the month is going
Mish mash post here today of a few random things... #1: I finally ordered and received my printed Blog Book from our Costa Rica trip! I had this one made with my blog post recaps after our New England trip in 2021: from intorealpages.com It turned out great, and ever since I have wanted to… Continue reading Blog book, shopping, Nutella…
Just did a little audit of the May calendar... we're in the thick of it now! To me things REALLY gear up when there start to be a bunch of special weeknight events. This sets May apart from the rest of the year, I think. The numbers Tennis matches= 4 (including one full day Conference… Continue reading May by the numbers/photos
I didn't sleep great last night; it started off with over an hour awake where I could NOT stop coughing from 11 pm- midnight, during which I protested out loud in frustration "Come ON!" several times to my dark bedroom, sleeping husband and dog. It finally subsided, but I awoke today with a still very… Continue reading Moving in the right direction…
Coming at you from Sick Day #2 of the week over here (well, more like Sick Day #5, technically, but I mean Sick Day #2 off of work). I started getting a sore throat on Friday but didn't think too much of it really. I had several long phone calls on Thursday and I sat… Continue reading Sick edition
As I suspected and forecasted, this is a BUSY season for us right now. Side note- It annoys me that I just said that. Because I kind of feel like I, or the collective "we", have all taken to calling every season "busy". Have you noticed that? This current season (April-May) is the busy spring… Continue reading “Busy seasons” + good stuff list
GRATEFUL KAE
