I'm happy to report that my bad week has generally settled down. Things have still felt just a little crazy, but at least Charlie is finally doing better!! Charlie Update: So, I had mentioned he had chewed up a lamp cord last week, followed by a week of nighttime wakings with loose stools. (I did… Continue reading Sunday updates
Argh, today is not my day! This is not feeling like my week! I keep feeling "squished" (ie pressure, issues, things I have to do) from all sides and I'm annoyed. Sleep (p.s. sorry if this part is Too Much Information): A large portion of the problem is lack of sleep, I think. Charlie seemed… Continue reading Stop squishing me
Father Winter sure stopped by this week around here. I don't know the exact totals, but something in the 8 inch range on Tuesday, and yesterday into today we got hammered with another ~12 inches. I envision a wintery, mythical creature like this waving a snow wand over Wiconsin: I've been generally feeling it! Yes,… Continue reading Snowy snowy Saturday…
1. I am loving all of the "Yearly Round Up" posts that are starting to circulate. They are so fun to read and give me great ideas! Unfortunately, I have not had a chance to sit down and formulate any of my own thoughts on any of these yet. A few post ideas I've seen… Continue reading Friday 5: long-winded exercise update edition (and other misc)
Darn it...despite my best intentions to keep blogging briefly and frequently after NaBloPoMo ended, I guess I really didn't. Today is Thursday, December 7th, and it looks like I've only posted 2x since the 1st. Work has been really busy this week. Lots of meetings, a project, and a last minute/ time sensitive "ask" that… Continue reading The past week, (mostly) photo edition
Real quick clarification: Last night I posted VERY quickly and rather late from my phone, and I wrote: "At a wedding tonight for a friend of Ivan's son!" My sister in Ireland, who read my blog post with her morning coffee probably while all my U.S. readers were still sleeping, texted me that I had… Continue reading A possibly confusing typo + correction
So far this week, my sleep schedule has looked like: Monday night: Bed 11:00 Woke up ~4:15 a.m. and couldn't fall back to sleep. Argh. Total= 5 hours, 15 minutes Tuesday night: Wanted to go to bed early, but somehow ended up being awake until 11:15 p.m. (!!) Still not sure exactly what happened. Kids… Continue reading Broken sleep
🔷 A 50 foot dog leash We have a fenced in yard, but our backyard also has a lot of landscaping beds and other places Charlie can get into mischief. He is also definitely still working on recall (i.e. coming to us when called) and currently has very selective hearing. 😆 Letting him off leash… Continue reading A few good recent purchases!
Sneaking this in at the last hour! Can't miss a day in NaBloPoMo. I just got home from the gym about 20 minutes ago. It's currently 8:59 p.m. Inspired by Kelsey on the recent Girl Next Door podcast, I have been really trying to get a little creative with my workout schedule. On their great… Continue reading Late night post
These last few weeks we've been trying to weed out some of the boys' old things. Specifically, jackets. We have a rather large stockpile of very nice but now too small coats and jackets that have been accumulating in our basement closet. Some are dressier styles, some are fleeces, some are 3-in-1 winter jackets, etc.… Continue reading Selling stuff and a nice message
