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

Just go on and get that pesky little task checked right off the list! This idea sounds....… Continue reading Gift buying mini-rant and other recent misc.
I missed a day, you guys! I'm a NaBloMoPo drop out. 😅 Just kidding, it's fine. I didn't have time to post during the day yesterday, so I figured I would in the evening. But then evening came and I ended up working late unexpectedly and then dinner and clean up and then it was… Continue reading Recap of the week
I was going to title this "Asher Updates" but figured he might not like to have his name in the TITLE. haha. But, these updates are all related to Asher. Volleyball Banquet On Monday night we went to his end-of-season volleyball banquet at school. They had nets up in the gym, so all the boys… Continue reading Thursday updates
I finally cleaned my office yesterday. I aim to do this monthly, but it gets away from me sometimes. It's not a large chore, but you know how it goes. It's important, though, because as things pile up and it literally starts to get dusty, I obviously just don't feel my most centered and professional!… Continue reading It’s Christmas in my office + idea request
It's a gloomy, rainy Sunday here and all I feel like doing right now is cuddling up with a blanket and.... well, that's about it. Haha. But I've been puttering around on the computer for too long now already (caught up on some blog comments, sketched out a MEAL PLAN for the week, etc.), and… Continue reading Quick Sunday post/ dinner woes update/ other misc
