A couple of positive tidbits from my week! I've had two "small wins" that involved me noticing an opportunity for improvement, saying something, and then change actually happening. #1: At work We use EPIC for our electronic medical records, and I basically live in there all day long for my job. Without getting too detailed/… Continue reading Speaking up + small positive changes
I've mentioned every year that I've had this blog how I really don't care for Easter. I won't blab on about it yet again, but the long and the short of it is: I just don't really like Easter. Besides enjoying the religious significance of it (for me), I just don't get whipped up over… Continue reading A fairly “un-enthusiastic Easter” weekend recap
The cool thing about having a blog is that you have a fun place to decompress and share details about your life with other people. The bad thing about having a blog is that.... other people know a lot about your life! Which, is NOT actually a "bad thing" in my opinion- obviously I choose… Continue reading New habits + blogging + feeling self-conscious
Hi!!! I am officially back. Well, we have been back for over a week now (since March 25), but I am finally back here in present day voice. I told myself that I was not allowed to resume posting any "regular" blog posts until I had completed my remaining trip recaps. I did this for… Continue reading Back in present voice!
Hello! Didn't mean to disappear. Asher and I left Thursday night (at like 7:30 p.m., after swim practice) to head to Milwaukee for a few days. The 13+ State swim meet was held this past weekend from Friday to Sunday, and although he didn't have any State qualifying times yet for the new 13-14 age… Continue reading Catching up on a weekend away
It's kind of blowing my mind right now that it's MARCH tomorrow. I do not feel that February was my greatest month ever over here. I am not sure what happened exactly, but it feels like it slipped between my fingers. Never fear, I am not about to start rehashing all the ways I ended… Continue reading A Monday at the end of February
After Tuesday's post lamenting how I have not been keeping up with life right now, I am happy to say my week turned out pretty good overall. Strangely enough, I think the weather + the boys' two no-school snow days actually helped. The unexpected days off meant that I did not have to follow their… Continue reading Friday report
As I've alluded to in other recent posts, probably ad nauseum at this point, I've been a little on the overwhelmed side lately. I'm sorry to bring it up again. But when I woke up this morning at 4:10 a.m. to the sounds of a windstorm outside my window, I was laying in bed thinking… Continue reading Keeping Up
ARGH, I'm soooo annoyed right now. Remember how I said Asher has his big Regional Championship swim meet this weekend? The one they train for all season long- essentially the culmination of the season (besides State, but he's not likely to qualify this year because he just aged up to the next age group)? Also,… Continue reading Gah… come on!
Ahhh, it's another snow day today!! No school two Thursdays in a row. (It seemed like the forecast was kind of wishy-washy/ unclear as to exactly how much our specific location is going to get, so I wasn't sure what would happen with school. Seems like the bulk of it is coming later in the… Continue reading Time + Control
