I think this weekend I finally hit a wall. We got home from vacation a week ago already on Sunday, and I know that I literally dove head first back into real life in probably too deep of a dive. Oddly though, I felt pretty great last week! Maybe I was riding the vacation high-… Continue reading Hit a wall?
We are currently sitting pretty here on this first week of school, because fall activities aren't quite in full swing yet. I just spent 10 minutes adding upcoming events/practices to my calendar though, so I thought I'd share what's on the docket. ETHAN: đź”·Soccer is his big one. Practice = 3x/ week Monday 5:30-7 (here… Continue reading Fall Activities
JULY RECAP First, it is somehow August. July felt like an absolute blur. When I look back at my planner, it's obvious why. We had family here for 4th of July weekend. Ethan's birthday and sleepover party with his friends. 2 weekends of swim meets, one including a 3 night stay at my parent's house… Continue reading July was packed & pre-vacation week
First, I did finally successfully complete my grocery trip yesterday morning. Store was EMPTY, which I am certain was probably not the case last night or will be anytime today with the holiday weekend upon us. So happy to have a stocked fridge again! It was Ethan's last day at camp and Asher had summer… Continue reading Camp pick-up/ New Month/Social Media
UGH, I am feeling a little overwhelmed right now. I hate saying that, because honestly, my life is really not that difficult (at ALL) compared to so many others'. Still, I have had a definite feeling of some "overwhelm" going on for a while now. I think I generally handle busy-ness fine, maybe better than… Continue reading Some overwhelm
My #1 impression so far, after using probably 99% less social media this week than I have any week in the past 10+ years: The old adage is true. "If you don't use it, you lose it." (Lose it= the desire to use it.) I am quite honestly SHOCKED at how I feel about this… Continue reading Social Media Break
1. Something I'm happy about/ proud of: Asher decided to give open water swimming another try! He did a 1.2 mile lake swim race last summer, which he was really nervous about it but did it. This season, his swim team has some lake practices and a couple open water events on the calendar, but… Continue reading 3 Things Thursday
This has been a really glorious weekend so far. Saturday I spent a bunch of time alone with the boys. Ethan had a soccer game an hour north of here at 9 am, but Ivan had to work for a bit so I took them by myself. Weather was really nice and afterwards we stopped… Continue reading Weekend + Kid-free time!!!
A pretty red winged blackbird on my walk yesterday morning 🙂 The last few weeks, I have noticed that my "toughest" days of the week are Tuesday and Wednesday. Probably not surprising, I guess- I feel like this might be the case for other people, too. Mondays I tend to feel fresh, ready to get… Continue reading Days of the week
I've been having this ongoing worry for a while now. Not something I sit and perseverate on or anything, but just something I think about, worry about for a little bit, then forget about for a while, and then it comes back. Last night Asher reminded me of it, so it's back in my mind… Continue reading An intermittent but persistent worry
GRATEFUL KAE
