There was a lot of dance today… dance classes and then a dance team orientation meeting. In between all that, I completed the last bit of sewing for the advent calendar. It just needs rods and a hanger and then it will be done! There is one little piece of sewing that I want to…
Robin made dinner again tonight, and it was GOOD. It was a chicken chili with a Mexican flair… so good. Otherwise today was just an average day. Christina says she got her back walkover, which is exciting, but I haven’t been able to see it. The studio is too small for me to go in…
We went to make a new mug for Billy to replace the one Robin broke yesterday. Christina was NOT interested in helping, but she did finally add a few touches to it. Robin went to her first tumbling class at the new gym, taught by her old coach. He was great with her. I’m glad…
It was a pretty good day. Robin worked out with me this morning, even though her feet hurt. Robin broke one of Billy’s mugs, which we made for him one Father’s Day when the kids were little, and she told him about it herself even though she was terrified to do it. She made up…
Today was an exhausting day. Things are in flux at work and it’s been both an opportunity and a challenge for me (as most opportunities are). I tried to shut out the world for 15 minutes after logging off by putting on the noise canceling headphones with some good music, but Jackson was having none…
It was a weird Father’s Day. Billy’s been sick, so he didn’t even get out of bed until noon. It was mostly just a day to get chores done while he laid on the couch. Laundry, food shopping, house cleaning. Christina and I did bake cannoli cookies for him, but somehow I completely forgot one…
We scratched off another adventure card and found ourselves on a private flight tour over Jacksonville. It’s something I didn’t even know you could do, and it was awesome! The pilot took us over our house, but I had a hard time getting oriented from the sky, so I couldn’t find it. Billy saw it,…
Robin’s beach volleyball camp is over. I forced her to do a tumbling evaluation at a new gym even though she said she didn’t want to. Christina had acro tonight and is THIS CLOSE to a back walkover. We learned that frozen broccoli doesn’t do well in a blender. We suspect Pinot may have eaten…
We didn’t have any activities today, or at least I hope we didn’t, because we didn’t do any. I probably should have at least peeked at the calendar. If we missed something, oh well, too late now. Otherwise it was a pretty good day. I’ve been getting up at 5:30am all week to get into…
I learned about some organizational changes at work that will impact me and my team and I am processing. No one’s roles were eliminated, but reporting lines and responsibilities are shifting and in flux. It is an opportunity for all of us, but like all good opportunities, it comes with significant challenges. Trying to get…
Robin prepared the slow cooker Thai chicken we had for dinner tonight. We all remarked that the chicken must have dissolved into the sauce because it was cut too small before she cooked it, but then she said no, she didn’t put any chicken in it. She said she thought I was going to add…
Robin had an adventurous first day at camp. She was to spend the morning at the beach volleyball court and then take a bus to the main campus for lunch and afternoon activities. I am SURE I told her this, but she says she didn’t know she was supposed to get on the bus. No…
Today was marginally more exciting than yesterday. I did go pick up the glass pieces from when I went glass blowing a few weeks ago. This is my duck. We also managed to schedule our adventure we had hoped to do yesterday. I’m super excited about it. I knitted a lot and did crossword puzzles…
It was a pretty boring day. We scratched off one of the adventure cards, but we weren’t able to make it happen this weekend. Hoping we can schedule it for another weekend soon. Did go to the gym, though. Also did a lot of knitting, went food shopping, played some Harry Potter, took the dogs…
