Hey hey, look who finally went back to the gym yesterday!! I did. Typing this title made me cringe, because I know for a fact that I've written multiple "yay, look at me, I'm getting back to consistent gym exercise!!" posts over the past couple of years. And if I've written the same thing repeatedly,… Continue reading Back in the gym (again, again, again- okay for REAL)
Coming at you from a pretty gloriously lazy day. Ivan took Asher off to his first soccer tournament since he had declared himself "retired" from soccer back in late 2019. I guess he is like Tom Brady and just can't quite give it up, because he's back..... Games are at 9:00 and 1:45, about 1… Continue reading Some firsts (school + work) and our 15th
Whew, this has been a busy day, and I have exactly 12 minutes until I need to log back on to commence another training session with new employee. But I can't let today pass by without sending a HUGE shout-out to my parents, on their 50th wedding anniversary!!! I wish I had prepared a more… Continue reading Ruby red and GOLD
Happy September! Today is officially Back to School. Always lots of feelings- mostly seems like an attitude of "begrudging", from the boys, if that's a word. As in, they will go, obviously, but begrudgingly. Reluctantly. (It kind of annoys me that they seem SO ho-hum about back to school...I always found it at least somewhat… Continue reading September/ Slashing my 22 for 22 list
This is it- the last day of August. whoa. Not sure how we ended up here, but here we are. To me, this = the "last day of summer", because the boys start SCHOOL tomorrow!! And, in my mind, September is a fall month, anyway. This summer was....something. ha. It was good! But also, a… Continue reading Summer 2022 Recap
Yep, I had a crap day yesterday. Started off with an hour long cluster where I realized I had made a mistake on something that was going to end up ultimately costing me hundreds of dollars. gahhhh..... Around the same time, I got a message from our new employee cheerfully greeting me and wondering what… Continue reading I had a bad day
I've been thinking recently how grateful I am to know quite a few parents who are a step or two ahead of where we are in the whole parenting journey. Most of these people are more in the "acquaintance" camp, really. A bunch are fellow swim parents- people with older kids on the team. Or… Continue reading Parents who are one step ahead
There's nothing like getting home after time away, especially after being in a developing country, to help you see the blessings in your own day to day life more clearly. Some things I love, but normally take for granted: 1- Consistent, basically unlimited hot water. The hot water "situation" in Mexico can be very fickle.… Continue reading Post-Mexico Travel: a love list
This is going to be a weird post for me, because it's going to include exactly zero photos. The reason for that is because I left my phone in my sister-in-law's car last night, so, I do not actually have my phone...which is where my pictures are. (She drove us to/from the local wedding we… Continue reading A phone-less morning and (I had fun at the wedding)
OOF I am BACK. Back in “normal blog voice”, no longer writing in “travel mode”. 😊 Re-emerging into regular life has been…fine. Considering our flight got in around 11:45 p.m. on Tuesday night, and we both had to work on Wednesday. 😂 (I know, I know, I know…we are gluttons for punishment. We do it… Continue reading Post-Vacation mode: Bad, Good, Neutral
GRATEFUL KAE
