Ugh, I have just felt in a little bit of a funk lately. I touched on it in my time frustrations post the other day. That's part of it, I think- just the constant sensation of things not quite fitting right. It's... annoying! Kind of an underlying persistent stressor. But more than that, I have… Continue reading Blah
I've been feeling a little frustrated lately. It's been one of those phases (which I get in quite frequently, honestly) where it just feels like everything does not really FIT into my life the way I wish it would. In an average day, I am always trying to finagle ways to fit in (not in… Continue reading Time frustrations and other misc.
Without really meaning to, turns out I posted 3 times this week, and all 3 posts were "theme" posts! x2 about social media stuff and x1 about work stuff. I am feeling overdue for a ramble-about-regular-life post! Backing up to last weekend.... a party with Charlie: On Saturday we went to a birthday party for… Continue reading Lately: dog behavior, awards, big kids, blog anniversary!
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.
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
A few mid-week updates! #1. On Monday afternoon Asher underwent a "peanut challenge" at the Allergy Clinic. He was diagnosed with a peanut allergy around 18 months after he grabbed a fistful of little roasted peanuts out of Ivan's hand and tried to eat them. He didn't really even swallow any, but his face promptly… Continue reading Mid-week updates: peanuts are back, swim pics, SHOES!
Awww, Asher's 1st high school swim season is officially over for him now! 😥 He swam at Sectionals yesterday, but as was completely expected, will not be swimming at Division 1 High School State next weekend. Several of the juniors and seniors on his team did qualify (you have to place in the top 24… Continue reading Swim’s over + V-Day
Nothing too thrilling to post here today, but just popping in to say hello and ramble about some randomness. 🙂 Snow/Cold: After a pretty non-snowy winter so far, we got a bigger snowfall on Wednesday. This caused Ethan's school to start earlier and end earlier (they normally have a late start on Wednesdays) and Asher's… Continue reading This and that
GRATEFUL KAE
