Monday was...okay. Really not going to be a day to go down in the history books or even my memory bank beyond probably today. HA. The thing is, if I enter the week with any sense of "chaos" in my head, I have the hardest time dialing in to focus and concentrate. And that was… Continue reading Still not ready for the week, but oh well
Not ready for the week
I'm sitting here taking a few deep breaths, not really feeling at all ready for a new week to start!!!! I had a nice weekend, but it tipped very far to the "kids/ activities" side of the scale. Saturday started BRIGHT and early getting Asher up and off to 7:15 a.m. swim practice. By 8… Continue reading Not ready for the week
Couple good things
1- Christmas music is BACK! Last night in the car, Asher turned the radio on, and bam. There it was. "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree." I am not sad about this. No, it's not too early. No, it's not annoying. 😁 I love Christmas music. It feels almost impossible to be down when you are… Continue reading Couple good things
Flashback to 1996 planning style, and a personal question
My mom brought me a box of my old cello music last weekend, to see if there was anything in there I wanted to keep. It was a little trip down memory lane, seeing pieces I had played with my string quartet in high school, or songs I played for competitions. 🙂 Anyway, there were… Continue reading Flashback to 1996 planning style, and a personal question
New bedrooms- sneak peek
Good morning! Bonus pic above unrelated to rest of post: from my walk yesterday morning. This whole past week has involved a lot of carrying stuff from one place and putting it in another. It was a week ago already that we had the new carpet installed in the bedrooms, but I finally feel now… Continue reading New bedrooms- sneak peek
Happiness in the gym
I returned to the gym on October 18th (the day after my b-day), so I'm now in my 3rd week back. I'm proud to report that so far, I have met my goal of going 3x/ week for weight room sessions (as I said, currently doing 1. shoulders/triceps 2. legs 3. back/biceps). IT FEELS SO… Continue reading Happiness in the gym
Halloween 2021 Highlights
Yay, Halloween was so much fun! I'm rather tired now, however, and I think teachers everywhere will be facing some sleepy children today, too. 🙂 Here are the highlights from our day yesterday: I ran some errands in the morning- grocery store/ Target. The cloudy morning turned sunny by the time I left the store,… Continue reading Halloween 2021 Highlights
Happy Halloween!
The weather turned grey, blustery, windy and cool, right on time for Halloween night. 🙂 How appropriate! October seemed to go really, really fast, which makes me a little sad! I like October. I have a little feeling like it sort of slipped away from me. But I also know I did enjoy it, too.… Continue reading Happy Halloween!
Friday 5
Good morning! Short on time today, but here's a quick Friday 5 of misc. stuff in my life: 1- I stayed up too late watching the Packer game last night, but it was WORTH IT, with a crazy ending and a win over the Cardinals of 24-21. Being the good empath that I am, my… Continue reading Friday 5
The clutter is killing me…
Starting with positive news: We got new carpet installed yesterday!!! (in our 3 main level bedrooms) Now for the negative news: We got new carpet installed yesterday!!! Just kidding. It is good news, and I'm very happy, and grateful. The carpet looks (and feels) great. But omg, I'm exhausted right now. Prep + Clutter..... Tuesday… Continue reading The clutter is killing me…
