It's Back to School Day, part 2, as I call it....Obviously the real "back to school" occurs in the fall, but heading back after winter break always feels like another "1st Day of School". This was the lowest key of all low key winter breaks, ever! But that's okay. I feel a twinge of guilt… Continue reading Back to School (part 2) + a tip

The halls are decked, etc.
Christmas is a-comin'. Ready or not, here she comes!! Our halls are decked, things are (mostly) done....we're about as ready as we're gonna be. Despite my vacation/sick days, this home stretch has still felt a little rushed....but such is life, I guess. I may as well just give up on this goofy idea I have… Continue reading The halls are decked, etc.
Take 2 vacation day and some sad news
Vacation Day --> Sick Day So, my vacation day yesterday ended up being a bust. I woke up with a bit of a headache (I kind of had a "stress" type headache Sunday afternoon, after the meet). I figured it was just from not sleeping well + all the activity + stress/ anxiety over the… Continue reading Take 2 vacation day and some sad news
Good news- hair edition
Exciting news- I think I found a new hair stylist! 😂 Quick long story short: I used to get my hair done by this one girl at a big salon here in town. I liked her, although it always seemed SO expensive (cut/ highlights). Fast forward- she had a baby, then another baby. Her schedule… Continue reading Good news- hair edition
Want vs. reality
Yesterday was kind of an overcast day with some snow flurries. I worked from home, as usual, and also worked out from home and was otherwise just home all day, until around 3:30. At that point, I went upstairs and flipped the fireplace on and just kind of sat there for a minute as I… Continue reading Want vs. reality
This and that
Some random stuff today.... 1. I got my covid booster yesterday! I finally rescheduled it after cancelling a couple weeks ago due to a headache that day. I've heard of so many people feeling like total garbage after getting the booster that I had a hard time finding a good day to schedule it...(for example,… Continue reading This and that
Rollercoaster weekend/ parenting is hard
Yee-haw, what a weekend!! It felt like a total rollercoaster. So, we left Saturday morning for the swim meet, as I mentioned. First of all, those were some LONG days at the pool. We were essentially there from 9 am until almost 8 pm both days, with a couple hour break in between Prelims and… Continue reading Rollercoaster weekend/ parenting is hard
Frustration with focus
My concentration has been CRAP the last couple of weeks. I thought last week was just an outlier week, since my head was wrapped up in figuring out the garage stuff. But we got some of that resolved (at least some decisions made, I think, and even a lot of actual progress in putting things… Continue reading Frustration with focus
Still not ready for the week, but oh well
Monday was...okay. Really not going to be a day to go down in the history books or even my memory bank beyond probably today. HA. The thing is, if I enter the week with any sense of "chaos" in my head, I have the hardest time dialing in to focus and concentrate. And that was… Continue reading Still not ready for the week, but oh well
Not ready for the week
I'm sitting here taking a few deep breaths, not really feeling at all ready for a new week to start!!!! I had a nice weekend, but it tipped very far to the "kids/ activities" side of the scale. Saturday started BRIGHT and early getting Asher up and off to 7:15 a.m. swim practice. By 8… Continue reading Not ready for the week
