I hit a wall today at work. Too many stupid things left me feeling too depressed to go on. Luckily I was saved by Christina’s dance class, which gave me an excuse to log off early. Tonight I finally sat down and put together Robin’s 8th grade tribute ad for the yearbook. She wants to…

We bought Sea World and Busch Gardens annual passes today. The most expensive option available was still significantly cheaper than Universal passes. We bought four of the highest tier Sea World passes for less than it would cost for three of the lowest tier Universal passes. Plus we get to bring guests for free! I’m…

Two things of note happened today: One, I showed up one entire day early for my therapy appointment that is actually tomorrow and not today. This explains why it wasn’t on my calendar. And two, Robin tried a gymnastics class this evening and enjoyed it, which makes me so relieved because that girl needs something…

I went for a run this morning. I reached a point where I was losing more than I was gaining by trying to rest my injury. The toll it has taken on me mentally is worse than the pain I was feeling before I stopped running. So back I go. I did a five-minute run…

Day two of dance was so unbearably long. We got there at 10:30 in the morning and Christina’s performance was at 12:30. Awards weren’t until 4:30, and they lasted an hour, so we were there for seven hours. I was good until about 3:15 or so, and then the walls started to crush me. Christina…

Christina had day one of a dance competition today. She did ok. Her junior team dance won third place out of five, but her intermediate team dance didn’t even place. Billy and I were really surprised because the dance looked great to me. I didn’t see any obvious issues with it that should have kept…

Today just felt so long. I had more than five straight hours of meetings, which is just exhausting. But Robin made tacos, and I love it when Robin makes tacos. And our little boy Pinot got a haircut, so now Christina can leave me alone for a few weeks. TGIF.

Today was a day for AI. I have a GPT at work named Fred who helped me write my goals, write up a control for my training program, and even talked me down when I was feeling like my class was getting away from me. I was very resistant to the idea of relying on…

Robin had a dentist appointment today to get cavities filled. They decided to only do two of the four to try to limit her discomfort since she always gets sores after a filling. So now we have to go back again in a week to do the other two. They tried using a different anesthetic…

I went back to therapy today after almost two years without it. I need to get a better handle on myself when it comes to parenting, and really, relationships in general. Being so wrapped up in Robin’s moods has really taken a toll on me and I’m starting to lose some of the ground I…

I am getting closer to having the rest of this training class prepared. I have 9 out of 20 samples pulled for training, and three of them have answer keys. I feel a little like I’m running on the beach at high tide, working very hard and not getting too far. I feel about the…

I took the kids back to Leaderboard to make up for leaving early on Friday, but holy shit, it was so crowded we could barely walk in the door. We decided not to stay, but of course this ruined Robin’s day. So instead I took her to buy a desk and chair for her now…

Now that Robin and I are talking again, we tackled the massive challenge of cleaning her room. Holy fucking shit. It was absolutely nauseating. There was something soaking wet in her hamper that had been sitting there god knows how long because the floor is now completely rotted where she had it. I am sure…

It was a bit of a rough day. It started out really well. Billy and I went to see the girls’ Oratorical Festival performances at school, and then we went to Leaderboard for lunch and some arcade games. It went downhill from there. Christina started complaining about just about everything. She just didn’t want to…

Billy and I had a little date night. I was not in top form. For some reason I hit a wall around 4:00 and the ground just fell out from under me. I am absolutely exhausted. I think it may have something to do with the fact that I have not been sleeping well for…
