NaBloPoMo Fail: Well, I officially failed. Yesterday, Friday 11/24, I did not post a blog post. DANG IT!!! I made it 23 days in November with a post every single day, and now I failed. The annoying thing is, I totally could have at least done another quick photo-only post or even just a "Hi,… Continue reading Broken streak, Christmas lights and a fun meet up!
Thanksgiving 2023 ❤️
Phew, this was a busy day. It went: * 4:55 am wake up * leave home 5:15, Asher to swim by 5:30 am * straight to grocery store by 5:45 am… trying to beat the crowds! It worked. (More on this later but we are doing a sort of phoned in Thanksgiving this year for… Continue reading Busy Pre-Thanksgiving
1) It’s officially Thanksgiving break. Asher actually has this entire week off! Lucky him. Ethan had school Monday and Tuesday, complete with several tests and quizzes. He’s done now until next Monday. I don’t really have much of a break. I mean, I’m obviously off Thursday, but I didn’t take Friday off. Due to the… Continue reading Vacation Hours + other Tuesday Misc.
I got our tree up on Saturday, and we decorated it Sunday night. The boys and I did it- Ivan had an indoor soccer game at 7. (Traditionally the tree decorating has been a “me + the boys” thing. I am not entirely sure why. Occasionally Ivan is there for it, but for some reason… Continue reading Christmas Tree 2023
Real quick clarification: Last night I posted VERY quickly and rather late from my phone, and I wrote: "At a wedding tonight for a friend of Ivan's son!" My sister in Ireland, who read my blog post with her morning coffee probably while all my U.S. readers were still sleeping, texted me that I had… Continue reading A possibly confusing typo + correction
At a wedding tonight for one of Ivan’s friend’s sons! Thoughts: 1) Having fun! 2) I really wish I were a good Latin dancer. 3) Mexican weddings are the same, but also, very different. 🙂 Felicidades a los novios! 🥂
I sometimes do the cute "Friday 5" posts, but definitely not always. Just depends on my mood. However, it seems like today EVERYBODY did a Friday 5, so, I am joining in. 🙂 1) I worked a flexed schedule today- 5:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. This sounds nice on the surface- done at 1:30! But… Continue reading Friday 5
Charlie watching Asher walk away from the car on his way to school Outfit of the day: posting keeps me accountable and not in the same leggings/hoodie combo I am tempted to wear on repeat. (Not sure if these OOTD posts are fun or annoying?) Friday night date night moved to Thursday (for various reasons).… Continue reading 3 Things Thursday: photo edition
So far this week, my sleep schedule has looked like: Monday night: Bed 11:00 Woke up ~4:15 a.m. and couldn't fall back to sleep. Argh. Total= 5 hours, 15 minutes Tuesday night: Wanted to go to bed early, but somehow ended up being awake until 11:15 p.m. (!!) Still not sure exactly what happened. Kids… Continue reading Broken sleep
