ARGH the Olympics are killing me here. I'm ready for a western country to host the Olympics so the coverage can be in MY time zone!! hahahaha. The last several Olympics have been in Asia which obviously means a HUGE time difference. It actually doesn't work out too bad from China, because our prime-time viewing… Continue reading Late nights + a happy kid
Saturday was nice. We had only one "anchor event" at 9:15, which was Ethan's basketball game. After that, we didn't have any plans. I did make a list of like 7 things I wanted to get done yesterday/ this weekend...but I ended up checking off only 2 (so far). The weekend isn't over. 🙂 However,… Continue reading Saturday in pics
Ooh, some great comments yesterday on my post about Nathan Chen/ the idea of him being "good at life"/ uber talented at everything, apparently! I was going to respond individually but figured I'd just comment back publicly in a new post. The main underlying theme from most people seemed to be a sense of skepticism… Continue reading Follow-up/ good at life
Feeling kind of tired/ blah this morning. I stayed up until 11 pm working on volunteer related preparations for yet another home hosted swim meet coming up the weekend of February 18-20. It's a big one, too- Regionals. Typically Regionals are not hosted by our team (we always just attend at a different pool) but… Continue reading Tired, the week, etc.
February 1st today!! We're 1/12 of the way through 2022. Crazy. "It's a long month...." You often hear people lament that January is a long, slow month- it's the thick of winter, the holidays are over, everyone is trying to implement their "New Year's resolutions"....it's kind of like one big, long Monday all month long.… Continue reading Too many ideas, not enough time
I overslept today....darn it. I hate when that happens! I made the mistake of leaving my phone (alarm) on my nightstand and wound up hitting the snooze button several times. (I usually keep it on other side of the room, so I have to GET UP to turn my alarm off...). Anyway, 3 brief, random… Continue reading 3 Random kid updates
I was not originally going to share this quite yet, because I don't want to "tempt the fates" and all of that....but then I decided... You know what, Universe? I'm not playing your games anymore. I'm confident that things are going to work out this time, in my favor. So, I'm going to say it… Continue reading Exciting news
Taking another pause from trip recaps, and instead bringing you what I'm going to call a 5-4-3-2-1 Weekend Recap. I'm going to rank some weekend events from 5 (highest/best) to 1 (lowest). Fortunately, nothing was truly too bad this weekend, though. 🙂 5 The highest spot goes to....Ethan and basketball. He had one game Saturday… Continue reading 5-4-3-2-1
Friday already!! Turns out having Monday and Tuesday off makes the week go by pretty fast. Taking a pause from my trip recap because those are time intensive to put together!! No need to stress myself to get them up in any certain order. Hopefully can get another day or two done this weekend. Speaking… Continue reading Upcoming & Daily Life
Friday night there was a high school swim meet being held at our local high school, so Asher's club team had to go practice in another city ~20 minutes away to find pool time. I drove him out there for 5 pm practice, and since it was farther from home, I had to just stay… Continue reading A peaceful walk destination & Gratitude Challenge Days 8 and 9
