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
Yesterday was a very typical, regular day. Perhaps could be seen as "boring", to some. But I was thinking (during my Les Mills Core class at 6:15 last night (fitness class #3 of the year so far! Aiming for average of 2/ month and so far hitting that goal), I like regular days. I mean,… Continue reading I like regular days
A quick mini-rant about gift buying: I have heard recently in multiple places about people who have "carved out a couple hours and sat down to buy all their gifts", most recently on The Lazy Genius podcast yesterday. 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.
