Hellooooo!! I am still alive, yes. WHEW these last few weeks though!!! I've been kind of "drowning in fun", if that were a thing. hahaha. Between vacation prep, THE CRUISE(!!!!), then going immediately into 4th of July festivities (got home from vacay on 7/1 and then turned around on 7/3 to be away overnight in… Continue reading HI/ Still alive!
First, thank you to all those who commented about my teen driving dilemma on my last post. I really appreciated hearing from others on this!!! A couple last things on this topic that I maybe didn't emphasize, just to clarify: 1) The biggest issue for me (BESIDES the whole legality thing) is this particular route.… Continue reading Thanks and misc. updates
Helloooo! Sorry for the unexpected absence. I didn't actually go anywhere, I just abruptly fell off a metaphorical cliff basically the moment I hit "publish" last Thursday morning. Yes, just as soon I touted my great success at sticking to my workout plan, breezing through the end of school chaos, etc. in my last post.… Continue reading Momentarily fell off a cliff & need advice
1. Writing today from a coffee shop near Ethan's (new) high school.... It was my day to drive to the 7:30 a.m. strength and conditioning class. So Ethan and I were up and out the door by ~6:50 to pick up his friend and drive across town. This whole thing (the distance/drive) is going to… Continue reading Things on a Thursday
So Ivan left Saturday morning for California and will be away until Friday, meaning this whole week I have some "husband-free" time. This may sound bad, but I was kind of excited for this week!! (Don't worry, Ivan doesn't read my blog; he won't be offended.) I mean, it's not that I want him to… Continue reading Some husband-free time
I feel like this week is that final push, up the hill toward the FINISH banner in a race. When I sat down Friday to check over the family Google Calendar and plan out the week a bit, it... took me a while. Ha. That whole idea of fitting pieces together like a game of… Continue reading Sprint to the finish
About to jump into meetings for the next 2 hours, so I'm taking a quick brain break. I've been working solid since 7:30 a.m. today. Couple random things: 1. Isn't this a pretty picture? From the end of Asher's soccer practice the other night. 2. Little hamster girl is so cute. She also is not… Continue reading A 5 minute post
I feel like my recent posts have been more "topic" based, and after a few of those I start itching to blab to you all about completely random, probably unimportant and uninteresting tidbits about my life. 😁 So, what have we been up to? Well, I'm currently sitting outside of Asher's swim practice in my… Continue reading What we’re up to
Random thoughts/updates/tidbits on a Thursday: 1) I'm tired. Yesterday (Wednesday) I woke up at 2:45 a.m. and never fell back to sleep. Asher had 5:30 swim practice anyway, so there wasn't a whole lot of wiggle room in the first place. So, yeah. I felt okay yesterday but ended up sort of biting off more… Continue reading Quick check-in/ misc.
Headed back from Austin a day late… because as the title gave away, the very end of our Texas trip was literally spoiled by food poisoning. 😩😩 Looking on the bright side…. 1) It hit me Sunday morning around 6 a.m…. Which was to be our departure day anyway (so, no further plans to be… Continue reading It’s all fun and games until you get food poisoning
GRATEFUL KAE
