We got Ethan's senior pictures back!! I of course am too antsy to share them to wait for the official downloads, so these are just some of the proofs. But I think they turned out so well! He's so handsome!! (in my humble opinion). Sorry for the overload, but it's way too hard to narrow… Continue reading Senior pic preview! And other misc. (volunteering at kid stuff + a fall recipe)
I still have 1 more Florida recap to write, but haven't had a chance. I wanted to pop in and say hi and give a little update though. Re-entry In terms of post vacation re-entry, this was one of our best yet! We were away for a total of 9 nights and got home Sunday… Continue reading Touching base!
I'm a bit preoccupied this week because my mom is here! She got here last night. First though, I had a fun work lunch out yesterday at Forage Kitchen with my boss + our whole RN team (so in my department, that's me + 4 other nurses + my boss, who is also a nurse).… Continue reading Mom visit + a big disappointment
From a tree in my backyard... in a beer glass. 😅 I think after my lengthy blogging streak on vacation, plus some long "recappy" posts when we returned, I maybe hit a blogging saturation point, or something. Sorry for the radio silence all week! I guess I felt like I didn't have anything too significant… Continue reading Happy May! + MayBloPoMo 😉
Getting home at midnight on a Sunday night and working Monday = NOT IDEAL, but I'm happy to report this week has been fine. Work has been pretty constant but not terrible. No one has grocery shopped yet, but we've survived on some pantry staples, frozen meat, etc. Ethan had an entire frozen pizza by… Continue reading Re-entry week: (lack of) groceries, a kid brag, diet update
Last night as I cooked dinner, it dawned on me: I don't have to drive anywhere tonight. This is not the first time this has occurred- Asher has been driving now since early December. But we didn't have separate vehicles for both boys until more recently (January). And swim season had so many other events… Continue reading Reaping the fruits of teenaged drivers (and other random updates)
Writing from our hotel room in glamorous Brown Deer, WI. As I mentioned, Asher and I are here for 3 nights for Asher's State swim meet. We arrived last night (Thursday), later than ideal. He had practice from 5-6 and then they had a team dinner at 6:15 at Noodles.... (Like, why couldn't the team… Continue reading Swim meet/ mini-vacay!
Oh man, this month of February has just disappeared. I had a suspicion this would happen, so I guess I'm glad I had a super productive January. I feel like my ENTIRE month of February has been dominated by the end of the swim season, even though on paper, it doesn't look like that much.… Continue reading Just keep swimming…
Blergh, how has it been over a week since I posted?! Well, I guess I know why- I've had quite a lot going on. Let's catch up a little! New PCP Last Wednesday was the day Ivan left for Mexico early in the morning, so I was up early to drive him. Then I worked,… Continue reading College visits, swim, weekend, etc.
This time next week, I should, God willing, be in Ireland!! Eek! I feel like we still have a lot of gift buying to do, but not for the Ireland crew. Their gifts are, thankfully, all set (except for a couple of small easy things I just have to pick up). We decided not to… Continue reading Pasta dinners + PJ parties + other pre-holiday misc.
