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
New month! 9/1/2021. In honor of the month that houses the autumnal equinox (September 22 this year), here is a lovely FALL picture for you: I bought this little bookmark on our trip recently, even though the trees definitely did not look like that in August. I've always dreamed of being in New England in… Continue reading SEPTEMBER. Reviving an old challenge??
I think this weekend I finally hit a wall. We got home from vacation a week ago already on Sunday, and I know that I literally dove head first back into real life in probably too deep of a dive. Oddly though, I felt pretty great last week! Maybe I was riding the vacation high-… Continue reading Hit a wall?
When we got home from vacation this past Sunday, I intentionally told myself I wasn’t even going to think about exercise for at least a few days. I know how much effort it takes to get back in the swing of real life again, so I just completely removed that from my plate. (I think… Continue reading Back to exercise
We are currently sitting pretty here on this first week of school, because fall activities aren't quite in full swing yet. I just spent 10 minutes adding upcoming events/practices to my calendar though, so I thought I'd share what's on the docket. ETHAN: 🔷Soccer is his big one. Practice = 3x/ week Monday 5:30-7 (here… Continue reading Fall Activities
1st Day is in the books: It was a pretty uneventful day. They seemed to have mixed feelings. Ethan seemed a bit more distraught at the idea of all the "free time with his friends" ending. They don't have to wake up until around 7:00-7:10, which is not too far off from when they often… Continue reading School, and a “kids morning routine” poll
It's here! Today is the first day of school, 2021. This is earlier than usual for our kids, due to some construction being done in the district next summer that requires them to end earlier this upcoming spring. So, back to school they go. Obviously, we just got back from vacation, too, so things feel… Continue reading 1st Day of School, 2021!!!!
We are HOME! 16 days, 11 states*, 9 different hotels. WHEW! What an amazing ride. So grateful that everything went so well. Really, I feel almost surprised by the fact that everything went so well! I mean, it really was a long trip (longer than a typical trip we take- due to the distance of… Continue reading Day 16: Dayton, OH to HOME
Saturday we had planned a little “gap” day to break up the driving. We stayed an extra night in Dayton, Ohio so we could go see the National Museum of the US Air Force. It’s located at the Wright-Patterson Air Force base and is the largest military aviation museum in the world. They have a… Continue reading Day 15: National Museum of the U.S. Air Force
GRATEFUL KAE
