I started teaching another NAMI Peer to Peer class tonight. I teach this one less often than Family to Family – this is actually only my second time doing it. For some reason, only two people showed up. But it was two people who were engaged in the class, so it was good. It feels…

It’s getting harder and harder to come up with something to take a picture of on a day where nothing exciting really happened. Especially when Pinot leaves his diarrhea poop ALL over the dining room floor for me to step in. Jackson is the dog I still like.

Christina’s performances were both really good! Apparently one of her teammates was sick, so they had to perform without her. We never even noticed! The production dance was so entertaining – it really woke up a crowd that was falling asleep. We didn’t stay for awards because they were more than an hour behind schedule…

We had an extra day in Orlando for Christina’s dance competition, so we went to Sea World. These dolphins looked like they were having so much fun. They reminded me of Pinot, willing to do anything for even just one kernel of dog food, and loving every second of it. The roller coasters were a…

Robin had her first practice with Cobalt tonight and it went pretty well, other than not being able to practice any stunts because the flyer was hurt. They have a competition on Sunday, so we’ll see how that goes with just this one practice under her belt! She said she liked this team better than…

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…
