Okay, this week marks the beginning of week 4 of owning a puppy. What?! Already? Since we got him, life has not felt "normal" at all. I mentioned in my post Saturday how most of my typical daily life activities like walking, reading, exercising, cooking.... have mostly all been fitting in a VERY scattered manner,… Continue reading New week…resume a semblance of normalcy?
First off, a huge THANK YOU to everyone for the birthday wishes!! I was especially touched by quite a few "lurker readers" (I call you that lovingly 😆) who came out of the shadows to leave me a comment! I read and responded to every single one. Thank you to all of you! I felt… Continue reading Happy…. chaos?
Happy Friday. Whew, it's been a week. A couple unfortunately non-bloggable stressful things popped up, but hopefully we're on the downswing now. Here are 5 things on this Friday.... 1. Kid Updates This week on Wednesday Ethan's school had a full day Community Service event. They do this every year. The entire high school gets… Continue reading Friday 5: kid updates, parenting + tech webinar, 100 days to 2024?!
(Actually, backing up beyond the weekend to Thursday, which was the last day I posted.) Updates Asher: We're now firmly settled into September. Although he started much later than Ethan, Asher's school year is officially in that "underway" feel now (i.e. no longer feels like the "first week"). Seems like all is going well at… Continue reading Weekend updates
Gosh, I didn't mean to go 6 days without posting, but apparently I did. Well, it's not that surprising, because my life continues to feel a bit like a tilt-a-whirl over here... Backing up to the weekend: So what I wanted to do this weekend looked about like this: I did not, however, curl up… Continue reading Catching up/ a Sept. weekend
TGIF... we made it to the end of Week 1 of the school year. 🎉🎉 Now, instead of celebrating yet, I need just one quick minute to be negative. I have a Pet Peeve to get off my chest. The best representation for how I feel about this current situation is: Yes, a big ol'… Continue reading A Pet Peeve and good advice
We have been totally kid-free over here since last Thursday morning! So almost a week now. (In case you missed it, Ethan is at my parents' house, and Asher is at his cousin's.) It has been nice!! I have this little feeling like I'm not, I don't know, fully capitalizing on this rare kid-free time… Continue reading Some kid-free days and a digression
🔷 I feel 1,000 times better and more myself this week. The biggest factor I think is a more normal workweek, where I'm more in control of my schedule again. The audit isn't over yet, but the "heaviest lifting" re: prep work is done. So this week I'm not needing to focus on any of… Continue reading Thursday Thoughts
An interesting product! This weekend we stopped at Best Buy so Asher could get a new screen protector for his phone. I wandered around a little bit, looking at the latest tech gadgets. I'm rather out of the loop when it comes to "cool tech stuff", besides my iphone and Apple watch. Oh well. Part… Continue reading Interesting idea, weekend, etc.
*Started this post Friday afternoon but then got interrupted and didn't finish it. This week is kind of a TGIF week. Work has been bonkers. We have this big regulatory audit coming up and it has involved a lot of prep work. To the tune of much/most other work getting ignored, and all hands on… Continue reading The week
GRATEFUL KAE
