Christina walked home from school today and within 20 minutes of getting home, this happened. A huge tree fell in our neighbor’s yard, just a few feet from his house. The weather here lately has been crazy. Two very strong storms in the span of a week, near-record high temperatures every day for weeks… when…

I have officially been stumped by ninth grade math. I have instructed Robin to ask her teacher for help and send me a picture of the answer tomorrow. Either I am totally overthinking it or there genuinely isn’t enough information to solve the problem. I am going to have dreams about this problem tonight. Other…

I finished fixing that first section of the patio, and it looks really good. I’m so happy with it. I put up the edging, but it’s not tall enough, so I had to order more. What would this patio project be if I didn’t have to buy twice as much of everything than I originally…

Billy and I had a date night at Java Game Haus. We played the Harry Potter game. It’s been a long time, but it was fun. It’s a little sad that we both started falling asleep at the table, pretty much exactly at 9pm. Other than that, we had pancakes and eggs for dinner, and…

After a week of high school carline drama and what I’m sure was an equally stressful week for Robin, we went to the first home football game of the season tonight. I was surprised Robin wanted to go, but she had a good time and we stayed until the end. Well, almost. There was about…

Carline is ruining my life. There were a LOT of tears today, from both me and Robin, at drop-off and at pickup. The stress of all that traffic, two hours a day, every day, is just more than I’ve been able to handle. There was yelling and swearing and generalized fury. All I can say…

The carline saga continues. It took me two hours to get everyone home today. I took a different route home after picking Robin up. It’s about three times as far, but it took the same amount of time. There is also another carline to get through in that direction, plus two train tracks to cross.…

This afternoon’s car line experience was still soul crushing, but it was soul crushing for less time than yesterday. I think tomorrow I will try to arrive later and take the long way home. Even though it adds five miles to the drive, I think it will be faster. It’s bad enough sitting in one…

The kids had their first day of school today. We officially have a high schooler. Christina was very excited about her first day. Robin had a little bit more of a tempered reaction to the day, but they both seemed to do well. Robin’s car line was a horrendous nightmare. It took more than an…

I had so much fun making this blind beer tasting game for Dion for his birthday. He seemed to like it, which made me happy. We saw them today for lunch at European Street and it was really nice catching up with them. Now I’m wondering whether 8:21 is too early to go to bed,…

I got a lot done on the patio today, but the biggest thing I revealed is that everything I did on the first day is a mess. It’s crooked, it’s not level… I will have to spend another day fixing that, but at least all the newer work is good. I learned that this part…

I’m working on another leadership presentation at work and feeling pretty good about it. I’m proud of the work I’ve done this year. Billy had his first “game” with his new football team. It was really a scrimmage and not a game, but now that he’s coaching high school, I have to get used to…

Christina had her school orientation tonight. She has been complaining for months that she doesn’t want to go to this school anymore, that all her friends left, that she’s tired of it, that the middle school is terrible compared to the elementary school, that everyone hates the middle schoolers. But she went tonight and saw…

Pinot got himself a haircut today. He looks pretty handsome – we left it a little longer than usual this time, and I like it better. It’s so sad that he hates the car so much. Otherwise it was a pretty slow and uninspiring day. I seem to be ending my nights a little on…

I went out for dinner with Molly and Cindy. We went to Salento, which is usually awesome, but for some reason, the service was terrible tonight. We were there for two hours, which was about an hour too long for me. It was still nice to catch up with them. They seem to be doing…
