I am teaching another NAMI course starting next week. It’s been a while since I did one; I’m a little rusty. I remember many years ago when I took my class, they were still doing the videos on DVD, and the technology at the time was a total hassle. You’d think we would have come…

Robin has a virtual cheer competition tonight. I can’t quite wrap my head around how that works. Apparently they record the performance and submit it online and then… get an email with their score? The gym has to be silent during the recording, which also goes against everything I know about cheer competitions. We’ll see…

Tonight we played That Escalated Quickly, and Christina came up with some hairbrained response that left Billy wrecked with uncontrollable laughter. I truly thought I was going to have to take him to the emergency room, he was laughing so hard. Poor Christina was so embarrassed that she actually left the house, but we won…

Not much to say about today. It was Monday. Kind of a disappointing day on the scale and on the treadmill. I ran 25 minutes out of my 30-minute goal. I don’t understand the mental block I have with this. I know I can do it, but in the moment, I don’t care if I…

Considering we started the day on the other side of the state, I did a lot today. Not the least of which was finishing another big piece of the advent calendar. I am finishing the day with overwhelming gratitude. For every time Robin smiled over the weekend, for Christina coming food shopping with me today,…

Rose Gold finished 4th out of 6, so not the showing we’d wanted. They apparently had a deduction due to a legality issue, so to still place 4th despite that is pretty good. This smile makes me happy, no matter how they finish.

We paid off all our debts today. What an amazing feeling! Everything is clicking right now. Things I didn’t think were possible. I’m not sure how this is happening or why, or how long it will last, but I’m going to enjoy every second of it while I can, with heaps and heaps of gratitude…

Pinot is not forgiven, but he is pretty cute. And bendy. And definitely more comfortable than me.

Billy bought me a box of chocolates for Valentine’s Day, and when I went to have one, I found that Christina had eaten them all. So Billy bought me another box of chocolates, which I kept on my desk in my office so Christina wouldn’t be tempted. Tonight I got home to find that a…

I’m a big fan of all the family time we’ve been having lately. Tuesday family game night has proved to be particularly awesome. It was my turn to pick a game tonight, so I picked Pictionary. Robin and I are kind of a dream team. You should have seen her picture of a harmonica. I…

Ten days later, and these roses are just as beautiful as the day I bought them.

We attempted an escape room today. Billy and the girls had never done it before and I thought it’d be fun. It turns out we are not all that good at puzzles. It took us almost 20 minutes to solve the first one, which didn’t leave much time for anything else. But I think everyone…

I went out with some friends and we laughed and ate Mexican food and it was so fun. I don’t have many friends here, and those I do have I don’t see very often, so nights like these mean a lot to me. Also today I made the last ornament for the advent calendar. It…

This has felt like a very long short week. I have been working without breaks all day, often not bothering to stop and eat, and going directly into cheer and dance schedules without any transitioning. There was a book I used to read to my mom when I was little, called Rest, Rabbit, Rest. Rabbit…

Tonight we booked an actual vacation in New Orleans for spring break. Robin and I had so much fun there last month and were so sad that Billy and Christina couldn’t join us. I’m glad we’re going now as a family.
