I was thinking yesterday how our weekends are so inconsistent. They really never look the same. Overall, this is fine with me; it's mostly just an observation. We've actually never really had consistent weekends, for as long as I can remember. From 2006- 2016 I worked every other weekend. (!!!) That's a lot of weekend… Continue reading Weekend inconsistency
1. Last night Ivan wasn't home, so the boys and I went to the gym. Ethan went to the circuit training room, but Asher joined me in the bigger weight room. There's this new area up on the side of the sprint track where they have dumbbells and benches, etc., off removed away from the… Continue reading 3 on a Thursday: Gym, veggies, pants
Ahhh, a 3-day weekend. What a lovely thing. It really was so very nice. ESPECIALLY because it was a 3-day weekend minus visitors, holiday prep, stress, etc. We had a very chill, low key weekend (for our standards), though we still did plenty. I was really wishing this morning that the weekend could just keep… Continue reading +1 vote to continue the weekend
1) Driving carpool is interesting. I had to pick up Ethan and 3 other 14-year-old boys from basketball yesterday. All of a sudden, I kind of felt like I was driving a van full of men. Out of the blue, their voices are deeper, their conversations are no longer so juvenile.... hmm. This is interesting… Continue reading A list of thoughts: teen related
So, I just got off my first ever Best of Both Worlds Patreon monthly Zoom meet up, which was all about healthy habits, tracking stuff, etc..... i.e. MY JAM!! But I had never attended one of these before, so for some reason, I felt super nervous about actually talking and showing my face to a… Continue reading Whyyyy am I like this???!
Gosh, this week was supposed to be kind of a "down" week after our holiday festivities, but as usual, it's managed to still feel rather full! It's been a nice week, just maybe not as super low key as I thought it might be. Still haven't sorted my Christmas pictures, either! So stay tuned for… Continue reading This week
Hello! I hope everyone had a great Christmas. I definitely did!! It was so nice. I'll write a little Christmas recap this week, but I don't have time this morning. Asher is at early swim practice and I don't have that long before I need to go pick him up. Just a few thoughts on… Continue reading Post-holiday state/ re-grouping
Happy Christmas Eve Eve. We are just about to what I consider "the good part". Meaning, the part where all the "work" is over, and we can just hopefully relax and enjoy the fruits of our labor. As I mentioned, my maybe favorite part of the season is actually early December. But the 24 through… Continue reading Getting close to the good part
2 days until Christmas Eve! I'm just about ready. I actually glanced back through my journal from last year on this day, and I can see I was way behind on wrapping gifts last year, to the point that I apparently spent much of Christmas Eve frantically wrapping stuff. Thankfully, that is not the case… Continue reading Almost ready + 2022 Christmas card!
WHEW, okay, the weekend is over, swim meet is over, Christmas is ALMOST HERE and there is a legit blizzard approaching fast. Current feelings: Feeling= Exhausted The swim meet all went smoothly, but it's just a long and full weekend. No major issues, thankfully. Most people showed up and did what they were supposed to,… Continue reading Current feelings and bullet points
