This has just not been my week. I can't believe it's Friday already, but also am glad that it is. Monday- Tuesday were spent feeling crummy with my cold, which got significantly more unpleasant as Monday progressed. I've sneezed about 7,246 times this week. Tuesday I ended up logging off of work by 10 am… Continue reading Not my week/ March social media plans
Printing my blog into a book!
Okay, I'm suuuuper tired right now because I am just getting over a cold AND I managed to wake up at like, 2:30 a.m. (after not going to bed until ~11:00 p.m....) and never fell back to sleep. 😩😩 (Why? Why? Why??!) But I'm feeling chipper enough to share something that has me really excited!… Continue reading Printing my blog into a book!
Checking in & good/bad list
Gosh, it feels like it's been a while, which is so rare for me. We were gone all weekend (Friday --> Sunday night) for the Wisconsin State Championships swim meet and yesterday kind of felt like a whirlwind, too. My life feels a little weird right now. Our spring break trip is coming up very… Continue reading Checking in & good/bad list
Grumpy
I am grumpy this morning. However, I'm going to refrain from dumping my grumpiness into the blogosphere, because...well, I don't really see the point right now. All that might accomplish is spreading more grumpiness, and if you are not grumpy right now, I don't want to infect you with my grumpiness. 🙂 Besides, I already… Continue reading Grumpy
Reading every word
I was reading some discussion a couple weeks ago now on Elisabeth's blog in response to the question: "When you read, do you read every word, or do you skim the pages?" I was surprised/shocked/literally kind of appalled (dramatic response? maybe? but it's the truth!) to learn that apparently, there are at least a few… Continue reading Reading every word
Tracking family activities
Coco asked me yesterday how I'm planning to track "family" or "fun" activities (one of my goals for 2022). My planner (the Wonderland 222) has these quarterly pages in the front of the planner (see above). Last year, I didn't really end up using these pages too much. The monthly boxes are obviously quite small… Continue reading Tracking family activities
22 for 2022 List
When I shared my Word of the Year last week, I commented that I'm very behind on all of these "new year" type posts. Oh well. Maybe it's not so bad- there's overload on the internet of that kind of stuff in early January, so I'm just helping to spread it out a little. :)… Continue reading 22 for 2022 List
DONE
Big sigh of relief- the Regionals meet is DONE. Everything went well and we got a lot of compliments from other teams/parents about how smoothly everything ran. I also felt very honored, because someone came up to me yesterday and told me that our co-host team's Meet Directors were "raving" about what an awesome job… Continue reading DONE
A photo to remember
Feels weird to be typing a post in the evening. I basically only ever blog in the morning, and if I don't, I just don't blog that day. But I'm sitting on the floor next to my fireplace, Asher is in his room talking to friends, Ethan went to a sleepover, and Ivan ran to… Continue reading A photo to remember
omg Olympics
Short on time here this morning, but OMG. Did anyone see the end of the Ladies' Free Skate last yesterday?!?! After my posts recently about high level athletes and their sacrifices and discussions about if it's all worth it....well, last night it most definitely did NOT look worth it! If you haven't seen the story,… Continue reading omg Olympics
