Not much time today- I am on a mission to head out in~5 minutes to hit up the grocery store!! We seriously need groceries, and there just wasn't a great time so far this week. (Well, there probably was, but nobody wanted to go.) I tend to have a MUCH easier time (semi) cheerfully going… Continue reading Today + photo project fun
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
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 slept for 9 glorious hours last night!! In case you missed it, I woke up yesterday at 2 a.m. (after 4 hours of sleep). I did okay yesterday, overall....I had some bouts of sleepiness, but hung in there ok. But, I was feeling it by evening and announced to my family that I was… Continue reading Shopping: The in store/ online battle
I slept like total garbage last night. Sort of. I slept really great from 10 pm until 2 am, and then woke up. After laying there awake until ~4:20, I finally got up. In case you are wondering what time the birds wake up in my area (and start chirping), it is precisely 4:02 a.m.… Continue reading This and that
New phone! Exciting news. Haha. Ivan ordered me a new phone the other day and it arrived yesterday. I am the type who might use the same iphone for eternity if it were not for the nudging of my husband. (I've said before- sometimes I don't love change!) I generally adapt fully to whatever phone… Continue reading Smartphones & bedtime guilt
Currently= 37, High= 70. Just a modest 43 degree spread....:) Seems a little crazy, but bring on 70! I love my calendar quote from today. The gratitude thing is always easy when everything goes your way, so I especially like the reminders that point out that the ultimate goal is to be grateful always- highs… Continue reading Monday: gratitude goals, family time and kids’ books
Happy Thursday! Nothing overly exciting to report around here today. Work project- Yesterday I started working on a little side project at work (not exactly a normal, actual work related project, but more of an organizational project that will benefit the department long term). It's right up my alley and I found myself getting lost… Continue reading Thursday Misc: work, email, Chipotle…
We haven't made too much in way of plans for the summer yet for the kids. The big "anchors" were supposed to be: Ethan- *summer camp with friend (the traditional outdoors kind- canoeing, games, bonfires, swimming, etc.)*local track program*??? Maybe a coding class or day camp or something Asher-*overnight swim camp with best swim friend… Continue reading Disappointment and (semi)resolution
1. Spring break starts tomorrow for my kids! Today is their last day of school until Monday, March 29th. It was supposed to be tomorrow, but I think their teachers are all getting their second doses of the vaccine today after school. Since apparently the 2nd dose causes more side effects in many people, the… Continue reading 3 Things Thursday
GRATEFUL KAE
