March went so fast!! I know it's because a large chunk of the month was dedicated to preparing for travel, traveling, or resetting after travel. At first I felt like the rest of the month was kind of a wash- nothing particularly exciting stood out in my mind. Fortunately, I have my time logs/ trackers… Continue reading March 2025 Recap
Hi! I'm done with the London posts (minus maybe one other I have floating around, but that's more of a "general thoughts/ observations about London" type of post), so I'm excited to be back in real time voice now. Re-entry Re-entry all went fine. The kids seemed to bounce right back. Literally the next 2… Continue reading Back to misc. posts!
Trip prep: This week has felt a bit odd. It was Ivan's birthday, I had PT on Wednesday morning, volunteer work Monday, work work all week, and I have to end work early to get to a haircut this afternoon. It also seemed to fly by. Which I am overall okay with... even though I… Continue reading A fast week + other misc.
Almost spring break: We are now ~10 days out from spring break (!!!). We had a really chill weekend, and I'm so glad. The past ~5 years or so Asher has always had the State swim meet the weekend right before (or very close) to when we've left for spring break. I remember being out… Continue reading Almost spring break, lifeguarding + luck and the Chinese farmer
Happy Friday! It's been a pretty average week here, nothing much to write home about, but considering what Sarah continues to go through, average sounds great. 😥 One good thing this week was that Ivan got his braces off! He'd had an adult canine that never came down into place (his baby tooth just never… Continue reading Braces off + Gentle
I need to acknowledge what happened to my dear, dear friend Sarah (SHU) the other day! For anyone who doesn't know yet (she posted about it here, so I know it's okay to share), she ran a half marathon on Sunday (in her very healthy, 44-year-old, 50+ mpw runner body) and went into Ventricular Tachycardia… Continue reading A scare + gratitude
February definitely felt like it flew by much more quickly than January. It also was a very Asher-heavy month! Which I think is okay...that's just how it goes sometimes. Especially now that Ethan can drive himself places! By default, we're just a little less "hands-on" with him now. As high school tennis starts up soon… Continue reading February 2025 Recap
1. Asher's swim banquet was Tuesday night. This was SO well done!! I've talked about how lovely other end-of-season sports banquets have been, but this one was maybe even above and beyond. The food was great (donated from Texas Roadhouse- grilled chicken, BBQ pork, those yummy rolls w/ cinnamon butter, mac n cheese, salad, cookies...so… Continue reading Friday 5: banquet, eyes, and I Believe
Friday night we had a nice chill evening. The weather warmed up enough, sort of, that I took Charlie on a really long walk after work and talked to my dad on the phone. (It was not "warm" but better than it's been.) Then I ran out of time to shower (I never showered in… Continue reading Weekend so far
FINALLY it's going to get warmer!! After an actual temp of -13F the other morning, we have forecasted highs of 45F on Tuesday! This morning felt surprisingly comfortable with no wind and 7 degrees on our morning walk. The birds were chirping, the sun was shining, and it felt almost spring-like! Except for the ice… Continue reading Don’t wish your life away
GRATEFUL KAE
