I picked Asher up from cross country the other day, and when he got in the car and I asked about his day, he said, "Um... I got in trouble today." ???? Hmm??, I said. You did?? (concerned). (Fortunately, my boys "getting in trouble" at school is VERY rare, thankfully. They are usually always very… Continue reading In Trouble
I'm happy to report that Tuesday, September 14, was exponentially better than Tuesday, September 7. 🙂 It was still our "busiest" day of the week....Ethan had piano right after school AND soccer later. Asher had cross country right after school AND swim later. I have to drive to/ from piano, and do CC pick up.… Continue reading A better Tuesday
Happy Tuesday. It feels like it's been a bit since my last regular post, but I guess it was just last Friday. How was your weekend? Mine, again, felt quite full. This is just the reality when Ethan has soccer tournaments (as he did again this weekend). When you have multiple games, spread out across… Continue reading Weekend happenings + misc.
There aren't really words, or at least I don't have them today, so I think I won't try. Instead, here are some photos from our visit to NYC, the 9/11 Memorial and Museum and the 1,776 foot tall One World Trade Center in 2018. The 9/11 Museum was one of the most significant, memorable and… Continue reading 20 Years
T to the G to the I to the F. This kinda felt like the longest short week ever! Pretty sure that my terrible night of sleep on Tuesday just really kickstarted it to be a bit rough. Plus it's just been a really full bunch of days. But the week has definitely been on… Continue reading 1st CC meet and TGIF
Well, sorry about that extremely negative brain dump post yesterday. I felt a tiny bit embarrassed to share all of that, in part because maybe it was exposing some inner insecurities and weaknesses in a public setting. 🙂 And also because it sort of felt like whining over "silly" problems. I generally think that stewing… Continue reading A post bad day good list
UGH. Well, I could have predicted this... that after a busy/full weekend right up until the very end, with zero prep for the week done, my 1st day back might be kind of a crummy day. Nothing BAD bad. Just kind of a yuck day. Might as well get it off my chest, so here… Continue reading Negative Nelly Wednesday
We had a long Sat.-Sun.-Mon. weekend here in the U.S., thanks to Labor Day. We also had two of Ivan's cousins (a brother and sister) come to stay with us for this week from Mexico City. (They'd been with an aunt in California for the past several weeks). ALSO, Ethan had a soccer tournament in… Continue reading Long weekend
Ohhhhh my goodness you guys. My heart is literally bursting even now like 12 hours later. I have to share this story. So last night was Asher's first "mock" cross country meet (just his own team, at the school, during practice). But they had to run an official course around the soccer and baseball fields,… Continue reading My heart is bursting
3 things on my mind today: Remote Training So our new nurse data analyst started on Monday (yay!). I mentioned before she is a nurse I used to work with, so I already knew her. She's great. I am the primary person training her, so I've spent a lot of time lately getting ready for… Continue reading Remote training, writing and 14 years
