We have been totally kid-free over here since last Thursday morning! So almost a week now. (In case you missed it, Ethan is at my parents' house, and Asher is at his cousin's.) It has been nice!! I have this little feeling like I'm not, I don't know, fully capitalizing on this rare kid-free time… Continue reading Some kid-free days and a digression
🔷 I feel 1,000 times better and more myself this week. The biggest factor I think is a more normal workweek, where I'm more in control of my schedule again. The audit isn't over yet, but the "heaviest lifting" re: prep work is done. So this week I'm not needing to focus on any of… Continue reading Thursday Thoughts
An interesting product! This weekend we stopped at Best Buy so Asher could get a new screen protector for his phone. I wandered around a little bit, looking at the latest tech gadgets. I'm rather out of the loop when it comes to "cool tech stuff", besides my iphone and Apple watch. Oh well. Part… Continue reading Interesting idea, weekend, etc.
*Started this post Friday afternoon but then got interrupted and didn't finish it. This week is kind of a TGIF week. Work has been bonkers. We have this big regulatory audit coming up and it has involved a lot of prep work. To the tune of much/most other work getting ignored, and all hands on… Continue reading The week
As alluded to in my last post, things have been a little CRA-ZY around here!!! Vacation, holiday, family, work insanity (big audit prep), a birthday!, driving!, more family, a swim meet, chiropractor appts, kids' jobs.... phew. It's been a month so far. I will attempt to recap a bit of what we've all been up… Continue reading Backing up & (many) life updates!
Hellooooo!! I am still alive, yes. WHEW these last few weeks though!!! I've been kind of "drowning in fun", if that were a thing. hahaha. Between vacation prep, THE CRUISE(!!!!), then going immediately into 4th of July festivities (got home from vacay on 7/1 and then turned around on 7/3 to be away overnight in… Continue reading HI/ Still alive!
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
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
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
GRATEFUL KAE
