I've been wanting to write a post on this topic, mostly just because I find it an interesting conversation for discussion. I think it's been a hot topic nationwide in recent years. This year, our local public school district decided to make a big shift in the start times, causing the elementary kids to start… Continue reading Kids + school start times

School report: 2 full weeks in
We are 2 days + 2 full weeks into the school year now, already. So far, mostly so good, I'd say. School itself: A Sounds like things are going well. The boys seem positive and happy. I think they like their classes and teachers. Friend dynamics seem fine, too, from the little I've actually heard… Continue reading School report: 2 full weeks in
School’s out for summer
Every year, I can't help but start singing AC/DC's "School's Out for Summer" on the last day. It's such a classic beat and the lyrics are, well, very fitting. 🙂 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JpM6_EBQoLs&t=2s School's.....out....for....summer! (dun dun dun dun dun dun dun).... (that's supposed to be the drum beat. 😆) 6th and 7th grade are over. 1st day… Continue reading School’s out for summer
Trees and Job Interviews
Something simultaneously exciting, yet very SAD, happened at our house yesterday.... We got the big, dead tree in our yard cut down!! Exciting- because this was a very necessary thing, and I'm glad to finally be able to "check it off the list". (We've been trying to have this done for over a year! The… Continue reading Trees and Job Interviews
In Trouble
I picked Asher up from cross country the other day, and when he got in the car and I asked about his day, he said, "Um... I got in trouble today." ???? Hmm??, I said. You did?? (concerned). (Fortunately, my boys "getting in trouble" at school is VERY rare, thankfully. They are usually always very… Continue reading In Trouble
Remote training, writing and 14 years
3 things on my mind today: Remote Training So our new nurse data analyst started on Monday (yay!). I mentioned before she is a nurse I used to work with, so I already knew her. She's great. I am the primary person training her, so I've spent a lot of time lately getting ready for… Continue reading Remote training, writing and 14 years
School, and a “kids morning routine” poll
1st Day is in the books: It was a pretty uneventful day. They seemed to have mixed feelings. Ethan seemed a bit more distraught at the idea of all the "free time with his friends" ending. They don't have to wake up until around 7:00-7:10, which is not too far off from when they often… Continue reading School, and a “kids morning routine” poll
1st Day of School, 2021!!!!
It's here! Today is the first day of school, 2021. This is earlier than usual for our kids, due to some construction being done in the district next summer that requires them to end earlier this upcoming spring. So, back to school they go. Obviously, we just got back from vacation, too, so things feel… Continue reading 1st Day of School, 2021!!!!
Days of the week
A pretty red winged blackbird on my walk yesterday morning 🙂 The last few weeks, I have noticed that my "toughest" days of the week are Tuesday and Wednesday. Probably not surprising, I guess- I feel like this might be the case for other people, too. Mondays I tend to feel fresh, ready to get… Continue reading Days of the week
An intermittent but persistent worry
I've been having this ongoing worry for a while now. Not something I sit and perseverate on or anything, but just something I think about, worry about for a little bit, then forget about for a while, and then it comes back. Last night Asher reminded me of it, so it's back in my mind… Continue reading An intermittent but persistent worry
