I've been having this ongoing worry for a while now. Not something I sit and perseverate on or anything, but just something I think about, worry about for a little bit, then forget about for a while, and then it comes back. Last night Asher reminded me of it, so it's back in my mind… Continue reading An intermittent but persistent worry
Oh dear lord. This is my current state: A little dazed, confused, tired and, kind of physically sore- as if I actually did some very strenuous physical activity this weekend (but I didn't). WHAT A WEEKEND. This was probably definitely the "busiest feeling" weekend since like, early 2020 at least, if not before. I swore… Continue reading A welcome workweek
Ivan's mom (my suegra, or mother-in-law) is leaving to go back to Mexico on Sunday, after spending over 2 months here in the U.S.! We picked her up from my sister-in-law's last night and took her out for pizza at a really nice local restaurant. I sent this picture to Ivan at work and said,… Continue reading La suegra is heading home 😦
I had a pretty full feeling day yesterday, but a good one. I tweaked my morning routine a bit to allow for a 7 am grocery store run. Ironically, while I was getting ready for the day, I listened to this episode of Laura Vanderkam's Before Breakfast podcast. It was all about using the concept… Continue reading Time choices
Yesterday we experienced another milestone in our family. It was Ethan's turn to get vaccinated, since he is 12. I had scheduled the appointment for 12:40 over his lunch hour, with the promise that I would take him to lunch quick before the appointment. We really didn't have much time, and I also had a… Continue reading Another milestone
Oh what a beautiful morning...Oh what a beautiful day.I've got a wonderful feeeeeel-ing..Everything's going my way. Good morning. It feels like a beautiful morning to me, and this song keeps popping into my head. The sun is shining, it's a relatively warm 55 degrees (with a high of 75), and you know who is REALLY… Continue reading Oh, what a beautiful morning
Photo by Asher from this weekend I spent probably ~35 minutes last night doing a modified version of my weekly review. Namely, updating my planner and entering events into Google Calendar (so they will show up on the Family Calendar on the fridge). I had gotten a little behind on this and had a bunch… Continue reading No such thing as normal
Happy Sunday! I ended up having a pretty great Saturday, after some plans shifted and my day unexpectedly opened up. The morning was fairly lazy but included checking off a couple more months worth of photo organization. Still chugging along on this photo project. Ethan and I cleaned out his closet. It badly needed it… Continue reading I am not throwing away my shot
In no particular order, a random list on a Friday of happenings. I feel a little...tired. Not really sleepy tired, just kind of "end-of-the-week" tired, maybe? Like, I'm not in the mood to try to come up with exactly 5 things to do a cute Friday 5 post. 😉 1- Ethan is scheduled for the… Continue reading Friday List
In my perfect world, I'd have at least ~2 hours to leisurely enjoy my morning routine. 🙂 I used to get up at 4:30 a.m. (although back then, I would often work for 2 hours before the kids got up! Now that they are older, I can work later into the afternoon and these early… Continue reading Current Morning Routine Staples
GRATEFUL KAE
