Happy belated Memorial Day. 🙂 Hope any US readers who celebrated the holiday had a nice "kickoff to summer" weekend! We took an impromptu short getaway to LaCrosse, WI this weekend. (Technically, we started from home, drove to Prairie du Chien, WI/ McGregor, Iowa along the Mississippi River, then drove up a stretch of the… Continue reading (Not) ready for a new week!
Someone referred to the month of May as "May-hem" in a comment recently, and I LOVED that!!! Truer words have never been spoken. The mayhem of May kind of snuck up on me. Things kept getting added to the calendar, slowly, in such a way that I didn't fully realize what we were dealing with.… Continue reading May-hem coming to an end….
The end of this week has involved quite a lot of time in the car. For various reasons, we were flying solo for swim practice (no carpool) both Wednesday and Thursday. Both days, practice was not held at our local high school- instead, we had to drive ~20 minutes to different pools. Meaning I had… Continue reading A funny ’90s music comment + pretty walks
I had a rather stressful day yesterday. No need to elaborate, but it was just mentally taxing for me, and I have a lingering dull headache right now as a result. There were some good things, though. 1- The weather was spectacular. It cooled down and the sky was a brilliant blue all day. 2-… Continue reading On to a new day
The end of this week has felt overwhelming to me. Despite our heat wave, which has been a welcome change, and has made everything feel nice, bright and very "summery". But I don't know, I just feel...overwhelmed. My brain dump list from last week has remained untouched, except I've thought of a bunch of things… Continue reading Some complaints + gratitude 🙂

It was 90 degrees yesterday. !!!! I heard on the news that it was actually a record high temperature for May 10. I finally caved… Continue reading Heat wave and teens/compromise
Happy Friday! I feel like I need a few days off, preferably before the boys get done with school on May 26th. I'm going a bit nuts with a bunch of lingering "projects" that I just don't seem to have time to get to. Yes, I have some free time that maybe I could "use… Continue reading Nagging to-dos, no time
Yesterday was a 5/5 day on my mood ranking chart! I don't give those out too often. What made it such a good day? Well, nothing special, really. It was just a nice day. 1. THE WEATHER. After a terrible spring, it was sunny and ~60 degrees yesterday. 2. I liked how I scheduled my… Continue reading 5 out of 5 day
Good morning....I've been up since about 4:18 a.m., when I woke suddenly from dream. In the dream, I had felt a little something under my pillow. So, (in the dream), I of course moved my pillow, and found dozens of SPIDERS crawling all over the bed! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Like, big, black, disgusting spiders!! Ivan and I… Continue reading Workday appointments, resisting temptation and spider dreams
