The week/ weekend: This is a bit of a weird week, as I have just one week home sandwiched in between 2 weeks away. I was rather exhausted this past weekend after Nashville! I was glad to hear on a call yesterday that I was not alone. My boss said she took super long naps… Continue reading Sandwich week, fall stuff, etc.
Here we are, somehow 1 day away from the end of September! I read all the time management things and I think about this topic a lot, yet I still can't seem to figure out how to get time to slow down. (Though in other ways, September actually has simultaneously felt moderately long? I don't… Continue reading End of September
I have been feeling bummed lately that I just can't keep up in the blogosphere.... I know it's okay, but it's still a disappointment. I love this blogging community and I love writing here, but work has been SO BUSY. Mornings and evenings and in-betweens always seem so frequently spoken for, too! Argh. Anyway, I… Continue reading Night out + dog training
Argh, somehow a whole week has passed yet again since I've posted. 😦 This was a good week, though! It felt quite full, but I felt like for the most part, the pieces fit together decently well. (Well, besides any blogging windows, I guess.) I really tried to more intentionally PLAN the week (more than… Continue reading The week
(I have nothing spooky or freaky to share in this post, besides deciding to title it "Freaky Friday" because it's Friday the 13th. 😆) 1- IT'S BEEN A WEEK. Outside of work, it's actually been a nice week in many ways. 🟡 I went to both of Asher's VB games this week (Monday and Wednesday)… Continue reading Freaky Friday 5
On my post the other day about feeling stretched thin and like I don't have a lot of margin in my days, a very astute commenter named Margot said this: When I read this, I had one of those, DUH! moments. I feel like she really hit the nail on the head. A lot of… Continue reading An astute comment
Recent Updates: 🔷 Friday night soccer! Last Friday were Ethan's first games of the season. He's basically on both JV AND Varsity, so being a holiday weekend, I cut out early from work to make it ~40 minutes across town to his 3:45 pm JV game (where he had an assist + a goal, yay!)… Continue reading Week updates and Friday Fashion #2
Whew, margin has felt low this week! Didn't mean to not post for like 6 days. The school year is off to the races now- Asher started on Tuesday, so now both are back. Does anyone recall how I talked about how the boys doing school sports this fall instead of club sports = more… Continue reading Checking in, low margin, a typical day
Food: We had a pretty solid (for us) week of meals! More planned out/ legit meals than some weeks...😄 We had: shrimp tacos, mexican rice, black beans ate out one night w/ Ivan's mom... air fryer chicken w/ leftover rice/beans (or in my case, I made it into a salad) cream of potato and bacon… Continue reading Friday food and fashion
The other day I sent Ivan a text that said, "I feel like we did nothing this summer." I mean, obviously we lived and we did things. But I can't shake the feeling that this summer has felt so off. In large part, I know I need to be realistic about what an impact this… Continue reading A summer post-mortem
