September 4
Not surprisingly, I am exhausted today after staying up so late last night. I seriously considered not taking the kids to school so I could sleep in, but I sucked it up and got them there anyway. It was a tough day made tougher by back to back meetings literally ALL DAY LONG with zero…

I stayed up past midnight to finish reading this book. I really liked it, a lot better than the other one I finished. I love the main character so much. Now I need something else to read.

Back to work today, and not a minute to myself. When you eat a bowl of cereal at 4:30 and that’s actually still your breakfast, you’re doing something wrong. Finally at dance and the sun is setting and there’s a little breeze and it’s not too hot and I have a book to read and…

I’m a little sad after our trip. I wish I felt closer to Rob and his family. I felt comfortable with them all weekend, more than I expected, but since coming home, all I can think of is them talking about me and how fucked up my kids and I are. I can’t help comparing…

We had a great day with Rob and his family. We walked around downtown Greenville and had lunch, then went to the pool (brrrr… but Bobby had so much fun swimming back and forth across the entire length of the pool for close to an hour), played with bubbles, had dinner, played Hungry Hungry Hippos,…

More than a year after they moved here, I finally managed to come up and see Rob and Danielle. It was a long drive through more than a hundred miles of relentlessly pouring, torrential rain, but it was so good to see them today, and Bobby and Hailey. They are adorable. Looking forward to the…

I had half a summer flex day to use at work today before losing it, so I packed up my paddleboard with the intention of going after my morning run. I left the gym and turned toward the creek to find THIS in front of me. Looking the other way was sunshine. I decided not…

My alarm has been waking me up out of deep sleep every morning, which has left me exhausted all day. I much prefer waking up naturally. I was too tired to really do much today. I think the wonderful manic streak I was on has officially ended. I’m not a fan.

I’m getting a little better with the beadwork, though I still have a ways to go. The beads I have are not uniform in size, so making a pattern work well is pretty much impossible. But I learned about the difference between threads and the kinds of tools to use, and these earrings hold up…

I made the most amazing alfredo sauce tonight. It is like 496 points on Weight Watchers and worth every ounce I gain as a result. I am sitting in the parking lot at dance and all I can think about is going home and having more of it. Sometimes I amaze even myself.

Christina officially started her new dance season today. She’s already talking about next year and not doing team so she can do other things too. I don’t blame her. She’ll literally be dancing six days a week. But she loves her pre-pointe class, so that’s good.

I was angry at Robin, but now I’m sad because I can see that a lot of her behavior stems from her own sadness and helplessness. She doesn’t know what to do because nothing she does makes her happy. And in the midst of not being able to find joy in her life, Billy and…

Christina had dance pictures at Jax Beach today, so I woke up early to get her there. There was a surf competition going on at the same time, which was kind of cool. By the time we got home, the skies were black and rain was pouring down. It was otherwise a pretty dull day,…

It was a pretty low-key day. I’m finally more caught up at work and ready to start kicking ass. Made a nice dinner of chicken and olive artichoke tapenade, yum. Did a crossword puzzle and basically chilled out. Nice way to end a week.

Christina had a rough walk home from school. She somehow missed the walkers group and got left behind. Picked her up on the side of the road just before a storm and she was in tears. Poor thing. The other kid had photography club and seemed to like it. Need to get her into something……
