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

The Board members presented, as well as the coaches.… Continue reading What it’s all about- youth sports
We're in that kind of fuzzy stage right now after vacation, trying to get back in the groove. It's harder when it's a long vacation, like this one was. Sleep/ jet lag has been so-so. I've been waking up really early and unable to fall back to sleep- around 3 am on Sunday (1st day… Continue reading Adjusting to normal life
