In honor of the new month of March (aka the start of SPRING in my mind), I want to share the lyrics to a song that always feels like instant sunshine to me when I hear it. It also REALLY makes me wish I were a better salsa dancer, and that I could instantly transport… Continue reading Instant sunshine
It's kind of blowing my mind right now that it's MARCH tomorrow. I do not feel that February was my greatest month ever over here. I am not sure what happened exactly, but it feels like it slipped between my fingers. Never fear, I am not about to start rehashing all the ways I ended… Continue reading A Monday at the end of February
Friday, March 25, 2022 Friday was our full day in Dublin, and unbelievably, our last full day of our trip (not counting the travel day home!). I was happy our flight into Dublin on Thursday was early enough to allow us a good chunk of time to start exploring, because ~1 1/2 days in Dublin… Continue reading Day 14: Dublin, Ireland and Day 15: DUB to ORD
After Tuesday's post lamenting how I have not been keeping up with life right now, I am happy to say my week turned out pretty good overall. Strangely enough, I think the weather + the boys' two no-school snow days actually helped. The unexpected days off meant that I did not have to follow their… Continue reading Friday report
I'm excited to share my latest "tracking" obsession.... haha. You all already know that I like to track things in my planner. And reading is no exception. On each monthly Habit Tracker page, I keep this little section down at the bottom. The dates are at the top, so I can correspond a "dot" to… Continue reading A Book Spreadsheet + Book Notes
As I've alluded to in other recent posts, probably ad nauseum at this point, I've been a little on the overwhelmed side lately. I'm sorry to bring it up again. But when I woke up this morning at 4:10 a.m. to the sounds of a windstorm outside my window, I was laying in bed thinking… Continue reading Keeping Up
First, Asher is feeling better! Not sure he's 100%, or at least his appetite is still a little weak, but overall he feels much better. He hasn't decided yet if he'll swim this afternoon or not. (Still sleeping now- will see what he thinks in a while.) But by last night he seemed peppy and… Continue reading Mediocre living?
ARGH, I'm soooo annoyed right now. Remember how I said Asher has his big Regional Championship swim meet this weekend? The one they train for all season long- essentially the culmination of the season (besides State, but he's not likely to qualify this year because he just aged up to the next age group)? Also,… Continue reading Gah… come on!
Ahhh, it's another snow day today!! No school two Thursdays in a row. (It seemed like the forecast was kind of wishy-washy/ unclear as to exactly how much our specific location is going to get, so I wasn't sure what would happen with school. Seems like the bulk of it is coming later in the… Continue reading Time + Control
It is definitely February. Obviously- you all know this. But what I mean is that that new year window of January is most decidedly over for me. See, January always tends to be a "lull" month around here. Probably not for everyone, but in my current life, January is always pretty chill. Just not usually… Continue reading February/ time constraints/ missing workouts: a time block explanation
GRATEFUL KAE
