Something I'm loving eating this week: Ivan's pico de gallo! He made nachos on Sunday night, and he always makes a big bowl of pico de gallo to top the nachos with. We had leftovers, so I have repurposed the pico de gallo multiple times now. 1st: As a salad topper! Chicken, apple, black pepper,… Continue reading Whatever Wednesday
FINALLY a better day all around yesterday. Gym ☑️Work ☑️Piano lessons ☑️Basketball parent meeting ☑️ Also, a morning walk. I liked this nice little red tree. Closet clean-out: I also ended up with a quiet, empty house post-basketball meeting, because Ivan took the boys to a movie. (I forget which one- some new action/ superhero/… Continue reading Wednesday misc: clothes, funny comments, vaccines
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
My mom brought me a box of my old cello music last weekend, to see if there was anything in there I wanted to keep. It was a little trip down memory lane, seeing pieces I had played with my string quartet in high school, or songs I played for competitions. 🙂 Anyway, there were… Continue reading Flashback to 1996 planning style, and a personal question

Yesterday morning I sat down in a special attempt to do a weekly audit, and brainstormed those 7 categories as general areas of… Continue reading More on weekly audit + ?? TRAVEL and other misc.

First, at the end of last week, I had sent my boss (on her last day) a "goodbye" message, just wishing her well and thanking her for her time with us, etc. She wrote back appreciatively,… Continue reading 3 Things Thursday
I'm happy to report that Tuesday, September 14, was exponentially better than Tuesday, September 7. 🙂 It was still our "busiest" day of the week....Ethan had piano right after school AND soccer later. Asher had cross country right after school AND swim later. I have to drive to/ from piano, and do CC pick up.… Continue reading A better Tuesday
Happy Tuesday. It feels like it's been a bit since my last regular post, but I guess it was just last Friday. How was your weekend? Mine, again, felt quite full. This is just the reality when Ethan has soccer tournaments (as he did again this weekend). When you have multiple games, spread out across… Continue reading Weekend happenings + misc.

Today: Today looks like a day I will definitely need to utilize some time blocking. I have several obligations sprinkled in that I need to schedule my work around. We are also closing in on a deadline at work. We need to have the kidney transplant data complete up to a certain point hopefully before… Continue reading Today/random
