Day 30 of NaBloPoMo is here, and something strange has happened. I can’t really think of anything to write about today. Surprisingly, throughout these last 30 days, this has not been a problem. Ever! I mean, I’m not saying every post has been profound- nope, not at all. But I just sat here for a… Continue reading Final post… a day in the life
Haven’t shared an OOTD in a while now… I am still attempting to “get dressed” more days than not and unearth some unworn items from my closet. But it’s a little spotty and depends on the day. Yesterday I had a meeting, so I decided to wear “dress pants” to just feel a bit more… Continue reading Fuzzy socks win and thoughts on NaBloPoMo
Today I did something I haven’t done in a LONG time: I ran! On the treadmill, because it was very cold out and let’s not get too crazy. I really need to do more cardio. You all know I am Team Strength Training, and I feel pretty strongly that strength training is the secret sauce… Continue reading I ran!
I had a really heart-pounding, scary dream last night. I dreamt that somehow, we were informed that surprise! We didn't actually own Charlie... we were apparently merely fostering him. And the time had now come that we needed to turn him over to his "forever owners". Who were not going to be us. O.M.G. I… Continue reading A very scary dog dream + puppy love
#1: Our first real snowfall! And Ethan’s first time driving in the snow. (Photo taken from passenger seat on the way to Ethan’s 7 am McDonald’s shift.) It wasn’t a ton of snow and it was wet, so it really wasn’t very slippery. But we still managed to have an argument (before leaving home) as… Continue reading Sunday scenes: teens driving in snow and teen reading
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
GRATEFUL KAE
