Hello! Finally back in "present voice" here! Yay! It feels like AGES ago since I've written a real time post. It's hard to believe, but we've been home from Hawaii for almost 2 weeks already. Plus a 2 week trip... means it's just about a full month since we left for vacation! Mind.blown. So, what… Continue reading Some real time updates!
On Sunday I ran to T.J.Maxx looking for a new little bralette for sleeping in, because a very cute, curly haired friend chewed the strap off of my old but beloved one. (My fault for leaving it on the floor... he really doesn't chew on things anymore, except socks and/or undergarments of any kind are… Continue reading Overheard in the fitting room + a few packing confessions
Yesterday I think I might have attended my last ever club soccer game. (I say "might have" because I guess I don't know for sure, but it looks that way.) It feels a bit surreal and like an end of an era. The boys started doing little toddler soccer classes when they were TWO years… Continue reading On the end of things
Full rainbow view from soccer parking lot on Wednesday night 😍 Whew, this week has felt chaotic. I had a dentist appt Monday, meetings all morning Wednesday + a haircut in the afternoon, another quick appointment Thursday... My work days have felt all over the place. The evenings have not been any calmer. I am… Continue reading Friday misc./ busy week/ end of freshman year!
Zooming on through May... we're really in the home stretch now, and dare I say the worst is behind us? This is the boys' last official week of school! Peeking ahead to next week.... Just gotta make it to Friday. Ethan: As I type this, Ethan should be finishing up his US History final exam… Continue reading Winding down fast
1- Ethan's tennis banquet Last night we attended Ethan's end-of-season tennis banquet at school. It was at 5:30 p.m. and way across town (for me anyway, from home...). Ivan met us there from work. Ethan drove me, despite being essentially "rush hour" on the "busy/ scary interstate route" (which is actually just his normal route… Continue reading Friday 5: Misc
May 15th today! Halfway point through May. SO, how's it going? Overall, not as bad as I thought, really. We have had to do a fair amount of picking and choosing/ skipping things, which in some ways I suppose is unfortunate, but also has helped wield down the number of things from this list. I… Continue reading How the month is going
Mish mash post here today of a few random things... #1: I finally ordered and received my printed Blog Book from our Costa Rica trip! I had this one made with my blog post recaps after our New England trip in 2021: from intorealpages.com It turned out great, and ever since I have wanted to… Continue reading Blog book, shopping, Nutella…
Just did a little audit of the May calendar... we're in the thick of it now! To me things REALLY gear up when there start to be a bunch of special weeknight events. This sets May apart from the rest of the year, I think. The numbers Tennis matches= 4 (including one full day Conference… Continue reading May by the numbers/photos
I didn't sleep great last night; it started off with over an hour awake where I could NOT stop coughing from 11 pm- midnight, during which I protested out loud in frustration "Come ON!" several times to my dark bedroom, sleeping husband and dog. It finally subsided, but I awoke today with a still very… Continue reading Moving in the right direction…
GRATEFUL KAE
