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
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 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
As alluded to in my last post, things have been a little CRA-ZY around here!!! Vacation, holiday, family, work insanity (big audit prep), a birthday!, driving!, more family, a swim meet, chiropractor appts, kids' jobs.... phew. It's been a month so far. I will attempt to recap a bit of what we've all been up… Continue reading Backing up & (many) life updates!
Hellooooo!! I am still alive, yes. WHEW these last few weeks though!!! I've been kind of "drowning in fun", if that were a thing. hahaha. Between vacation prep, THE CRUISE(!!!!), then going immediately into 4th of July festivities (got home from vacay on 7/1 and then turned around on 7/3 to be away overnight in… Continue reading HI/ Still alive!
First, thank you to all those who commented about my teen driving dilemma on my last post. I really appreciated hearing from others on this!!! A couple last things on this topic that I maybe didn't emphasize, just to clarify: 1) The biggest issue for me (BESIDES the whole legality thing) is this particular route.… Continue reading Thanks and misc. updates
1. Writing today from a coffee shop near Ethan's (new) high school.... It was my day to drive to the 7:30 a.m. strength and conditioning class. So Ethan and I were up and out the door by ~6:50 to pick up his friend and drive across town. This whole thing (the distance/drive) is going to… Continue reading Things on a Thursday
So Ivan left Saturday morning for California and will be away until Friday, meaning this whole week I have some "husband-free" time. This may sound bad, but I was kind of excited for this week!! (Don't worry, Ivan doesn't read my blog; he won't be offended.) I mean, it's not that I want him to… Continue reading Some husband-free time
About to jump into meetings for the next 2 hours, so I'm taking a quick brain break. I've been working solid since 7:30 a.m. today. Couple random things: 1. Isn't this a pretty picture? From the end of Asher's soccer practice the other night. 2. Little hamster girl is so cute. She also is not… Continue reading A 5 minute post
Random thoughts/updates/tidbits on a Thursday: 1) I'm tired. Yesterday (Wednesday) I woke up at 2:45 a.m. and never fell back to sleep. Asher had 5:30 swim practice anyway, so there wasn't a whole lot of wiggle room in the first place. So, yeah. I felt okay yesterday but ended up sort of biting off more… Continue reading Quick check-in/ misc.
GRATEFUL KAE
