Robin left her cooking class smiling, which is a big improvement over the rest of the week. I guess making a cake is better than Chinese food, bread, and pasta. Managed to get a few things done at work in between a million meetings. My days are so exhausting right now. Trying to go into…

Christina and I broke in the new paddleboards this morning, and I’m so glad I made that impulsive purchase a week or so ago. I had so much fun hanging out with her, and I’m finally starting to feel a little more confident with the boards. I can’t wait to go out again.

What teenagers look like when they’re having fun.

Robin had her first cooking class today, making fresh stuffed pastas from scratch. I’m currently watching her cook and hoping she’s having fun. And also that I get to eat what she made, because I’m hungry.

My first quilting. I’m not sure it’s finished, but I had fun making it. Robin and I went to Michael’s to get some crafting supplies and then went to Chili’s for lunch. It was nice getting to spend some time with her. I feel bad that she’s spent her whole summer sitting around in her…

My latest knitting project. I wish it was just a little bit longer. The threads keep popping out too. The yarn is very smooth and isn’t holding knots. We’ll see how many times I get to wear this one before it falls apart. Christina had dance intensives today, all day, and then we had dinner…

It was a pretty quiet day, which was welcome. Christina’s and my new paddleboards arrived today and I officially put in for a day off next week to go out with her. I finished my latest knitting project, which means I officially have nothing in the works at all. I’m even almost done with my…

Someone asked me to prove I need another person on my team. I’m hoping the data I have proves I need two. It feels like I need five. At this point I’d be grateful just for sympathy.

I’m starting to get some footing back at work, which is just to say I wrap the day up with a headache, but not nausea too. Billy’s work schedule is bananas right now and he had no choice but to sleep through dinner, so it was just the girls and me tonight for beef burritos,…

Today I spent an insane amount of money for dance intensives and team fees AND I enrolled Christina in ten dance classes starting this fall. On top of this, she will need to have weekly private lessons to prepare her trio for competition. She better really love dance, yo. And thank the high holy heavens…

I actually made myself sick at work today, worrying about how to get everything done without dying. The truth is that I can’t get it all done, but I’m also struggling to decide what WON’T get done, and what to do about it. Part of that is inexperience and lack of insight into leadership priorities,…

Christina asked to go paddleboarding today, so I loaded it up into the car, got changed into my bathing suit, lathered on the sunscreen, drove to the boat ramp, took it out of the trunk to inflate, and it was about then when Christina asked where the paddle was. Packed it back up, came home,…

Today was a lesson in gratitude for the saving of our marriage a year ago. I had dinner tonight with some incredibly fierce women who are teaching me what it means to be strong. And trust me, I thought I knew all there was to know about strength. It’s a different kind of strength they’re…

Today was better than the last couple of days, thank goodness. I actually managed to get some work done. Not nearly close to all of it, but at this point I’ll settle for getting ANYTHING done that doesn’t result in more work to do. Was otherwise a typical day. Ran on the treadmill, knitted during…

What a day. I am absolutely overwhelmed at work right now, literally spinning wheels in every possible direction at once. I got so caught up in trying to stay on top of things that I forgot about Robin’s tumbling class. We left 20 minutes late and then got stuck in a massive traffic snarl caused…
