(I have nothing spooky or freaky to share in this post, besides deciding to title it "Freaky Friday" because it's Friday the 13th. 😆) 1- IT'S BEEN A WEEK. Outside of work, it's actually been a nice week in many ways. 🟡 I went to both of Asher's VB games this week (Monday and Wednesday)… Continue reading Freaky Friday 5
On my post the other day about feeling stretched thin and like I don't have a lot of margin in my days, a very astute commenter named Margot said this: When I read this, I had one of those, DUH! moments. I feel like she really hit the nail on the head. A lot of… Continue reading An astute comment
Recent Updates: 🔷 Friday night soccer! Last Friday were Ethan's first games of the season. He's basically on both JV AND Varsity, so being a holiday weekend, I cut out early from work to make it ~40 minutes across town to his 3:45 pm JV game (where he had an assist + a goal, yay!)… Continue reading Week updates and Friday Fashion #2
Whew, margin has felt low this week! Didn't mean to not post for like 6 days. The school year is off to the races now- Asher started on Tuesday, so now both are back. Does anyone recall how I talked about how the boys doing school sports this fall instead of club sports = more… Continue reading Checking in, low margin, a typical day
Food: We had a pretty solid (for us) week of meals! More planned out/ legit meals than some weeks...😄 We had: shrimp tacos, mexican rice, black beans ate out one night w/ Ivan's mom... air fryer chicken w/ leftover rice/beans (or in my case, I made it into a salad) cream of potato and bacon… Continue reading Friday food and fashion
The other day I sent Ivan a text that said, "I feel like we did nothing this summer." I mean, obviously we lived and we did things. But I can't shake the feeling that this summer has felt so off. In large part, I know I need to be realistic about what an impact this… Continue reading A summer post-mortem
If you've been reading a while, you'll know cardio and I have a complicated relationship. I've tried dabbling getting back into running twice this year, and neither time stuck more than about ~2 weeks (if that). 😩 I've had varying levels of success with Emkfit dance videos on Youtube. They're fun, short (~20 min) and… Continue reading Switching up cardio again + current workout schedule
Okay, I promise I will not write a third post about the Mexico trip decision. 😂 The final decision is Sunday- Sunday and I'm refusing to even think about it anymore (though I don't think Ivan has actually bought the plane tickets yet, so with my luck, after all this, it will turn out that… Continue reading “Non-Mexico trip decision” life updates
So a couple other pieces of information have come to light that may also impact the Mexico travel decision (in case you missed it yesterday, spelled out ad nauseum here). Actually, first of all- THANK YOU to everyone who chimed in! So many thoughtful points!! (Special thanks to my lurkers who came out of lurkerville… Continue reading And the plot thickens….
Background: We have to go to Mexico for our goddaughter's quinceanera in October. (Not going = not an option. I've mentioned before that quinceaneras are a Big Deal and as the godparents, we apparently have some specific roles during the ceremony and party. Kind of nervous about what this all entails? Not a huge fan… Continue reading WWYD?! Advice needed, especially parents of high schoolers!
