Well, I took my little moment yesterday to pout (again) about our Europe trip being cancelled and today I'm moving on! Honestly, I was already mostly "over it"...we've known the trip was cancelled for a long time now. The disappointment had already been processed, repeatedly, and the shock/anger/frustration had largely dulled. But it still hit me… Continue reading Vacation 2.0
I’m not thinking about this today.
Today I'm spending the day not thinking about this. Not thinking about the fact that we are supposed to be boarding an airplane later this afternoon and flying to Ireland.Not thinking of my boys experiencing their first overseas trip, flying on an airplane all night long!Not thinking about my little nieces and nephew waiting for us… Continue reading I’m not thinking about this today.
Challenge Accepted
Finally! After 2 cancellations, Asher was finally able to complete the 1.2 mile open water lake swim yesterday. Maybe things really do work out how they're supposed to, because the conditions yesterday could not have been any better.We had full sunshine, no wind and warm temperatures. The lake looked SO beautiful!! I'm really, really proud of Asher… Continue reading Challenge Accepted
Why did the chicken cross the road?
Shockingly, the mile swim was cancelled AGAIN last night. A big line of storms moved through the area all afternoon and although they looked like they might clear out in time for a delayed-start swim, the coach decided last minute that the choppy water conditions would not be good for these younger swimmers. (I agreed. It was… Continue reading Why did the chicken cross the road?
Monday: Highlights, Gratitude and Motivation
Hi. How was your weekend? All good around here. I slept in a little bit today. The boys have been at their cousin’s house since Saturday night actually (after Asher’s swim meet), so it’s nice and quiet around here this morning. 😊 I’m kind of in a “list mood” today…maybe my weekly review/ planning has… Continue reading Monday: Highlights, Gratitude and Motivation
An actual swim meet (?!) and 1st ever “Weekly Review”
So far the weekend is feeling much better than the craziness of last week. I had a nice day yesterday, spending the morning with my parents, then some housework/ work in the afternoon and finally in the evening, a big milestone.... Asher had his first "swim meet" since February! (I put quotes because it wasn't an… Continue reading An actual swim meet (?!) and 1st ever “Weekly Review”
Saturday
I felt bad for a while yesterday morning after I hit publish on my blog post. Like I said, I just had woken up feeling tired, overwhelmed from such a busy week and I had a bit of a headache. I felt like my post probably came off as "complain-y" and "whiny", which might have… Continue reading Saturday
Mini WFH rant
Wow, I feel utterly exhausted this morning. This week has felt way too intense with the addition of what felt like 4,329 different appointments mixed in on top of the regular workweek and everything else. I generally dread weeks when I have appointments of any kind, because I just know how they mess up the regular… Continue reading Mini WFH rant
2020 strikes again
Oh, 2020...you really are a pain. At this point in the year, it's sad to say but I'm almost unfazed by weird, random cancellations and things just NOT going according to plan. I mean, what's new, right? I'm supposed to be reporting back about Asher's big open water swim challenge from last night.....but, of course, like… Continue reading 2020 strikes again
Busy Day and Asher’s New Challenge!
I have a busy day ahead of me today. I have an appointment on the far other side of town which will eat up a big chunk of the morning. The boys have a virtual piano lesson at 2 pm (doesn't really affect me since I can still work during that time, but I still need… Continue reading Busy Day and Asher’s New Challenge!
