I can't let today pass by without commenting on our extreme heat situation up here in Wisconsin! Also, it's always very fun to sing that song and it instantly gets me in the mood to be somewhere tropical and dancing in a congo line. "Ole ole, ole ole.... feeling hot hot hot....." Ooh, especially the… Continue reading Feelin’ hot hot hot
A little delayed, but here's my recap for last week! This was Week 3 of my August workout plan. I managed to technically complete all 5 strength workouts, though one of them was shortened and done at home. Monday 8/14 This was Ethan's first day of school and I knew we had a busy evening… Continue reading A recap: Workouts, life and my week of August 14th
TGIF... we made it to the end of Week 1 of the school year. 🎉🎉 Now, instead of celebrating yet, I need just one quick minute to be negative. I have a Pet Peeve to get off my chest. The best representation for how I feel about this current situation is: Yes, a big ol'… Continue reading A Pet Peeve and good advice
The school week is going very well! Ethan reported being "tired" when he got home last night, which is not surprising. I am actually not sure if he meant physically (from soccer), mentally or just sleepy; probably a combination of all three. He continues to be very positive overall. Wednesdays and Thursdays are their block… Continue reading Changes cont. & thinking about school year routines
Another solid week of workouts! Is sharing these recaps here the secret sauce? Wait, am I an obliger and not an upholder as I thought?? 😁😝 I actually had a few hiccups this week; I had to skip Wednesday/ insert my rest day in the middle of the week, and I subbed a home workout… Continue reading A recap: week of 8/6 workouts
We have been totally kid-free over here since last Thursday morning! So almost a week now. (In case you missed it, Ethan is at my parents' house, and Asher is at his cousin's.) It has been nice!! I have this little feeling like I'm not, I don't know, fully capitalizing on this rare kid-free time… Continue reading Some kid-free days and a digression
I am feeling GOOD today!! I feel minorly guilty saying this so excitedly, but I'll say it anyway: Both boys are away from home for a while!!! This is a very rare situation around here. Ethan wanted to go stay with my parents for a week before school starts (he does this most summers and… Continue reading A ME day… and passing on a travel opportunity
🔷 I feel 1,000 times better and more myself this week. The biggest factor I think is a more normal workweek, where I'm more in control of my schedule again. The audit isn't over yet, but the "heaviest lifting" re: prep work is done. So this week I'm not needing to focus on any of… Continue reading Thursday Thoughts
An interesting product! This weekend we stopped at Best Buy so Asher could get a new screen protector for his phone. I wandered around a little bit, looking at the latest tech gadgets. I'm rather out of the loop when it comes to "cool tech stuff", besides my iphone and Apple watch. Oh well. Part… Continue reading Interesting idea, weekend, etc.
*Started this post Friday afternoon but then got interrupted and didn't finish it. This week is kind of a TGIF week. Work has been bonkers. We have this big regulatory audit coming up and it has involved a lot of prep work. To the tune of much/most other work getting ignored, and all hands on… Continue reading The week
GRATEFUL KAE
