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
My very busy week is going okay. There have been a couple of lucky breaks that opened up some time, namely Ethan's friend's mom driving him to the Spanish placement test yesterday. (He said it was "easy", so, hopefully that means he did well??? Guess we'll find out in about 2 weeks when results come… Continue reading Wednesday misc.
GRATEFUL KAE
