I had a tough day at work. A LOT of anger, some tears. And then it thundered when I had planned to go to the pool and I took the kids out to eat and forgot to bring my wallet. I’m continuing to watch the Ken Burns Civil War documentary and started to read a…

The highlight of my day was making pancakes for dinner. That may sound lame, but they were really good. I also enjoyed watching Robin’s cheer practice. I usually miss it. They’re doing some cool stuff! Can’t wait to see where this season leads.

I went outside to take out the recycling and saw this beautiful almost-full moon behind these dramatic wispy clouds, so I went inside to get my camera, and the moon almost immediately disappeared behind a big fat dark cloud. I did get the last few moments of its glow and the pleasure of having seen…

Christina astounds me with her creative, adventurous spirit. Robin amazes me with her talent and accomplishments. She got her back handspring again today after months of injury, lackluster coaching, and holidays. She overcame her fear and did it. I love both of them with all my heart for all the reasons and more. I crawl…

Church, then games at Java Game Haus, then food shopping, then dinner with friends (yes, friends in Jax!), then another episode of the Ken Burns film about the Civil War. I’m a little obsessed. I think there is a clue in it that we need in order to solve the problems we face today. I…

Bunny is all done, wrapped, packaged, and ready to mail. I had fun making her. Also today we did some school shopping – we went to the St. Augustine outlets and bought the kids new shoes, a couple special new items of clothing, some bras, and Auntie Anne’s pretzels. And then we made fish sticks…

Robin and I enjoyed an hour at the beach after dropping off Christina at camp. The waves were huge (by our standards) and even I went in the water to let them splash over me. It was so refreshing and we had fun laughing at each other as we got bowled over. We went and…

It was stormy today, which is just my kind of day. Lots of thunder, which excited me, but deeply agitated Jackson. Poor boy.

Bunny number two is coming along slowly but surely, and I am working hard to be a good mom to my children. I hope I succeed.

Robin had kind of a lousy day at cheer stunt camp, but we had an hour to kill before tumbling practice, so we had an early dinner. We had a great meal with lots of great conversation, which has been lacking in our relationship for a while. And then she had a near-death experience which…

I was having a pretty good day until an hour before bedtime when I realized that Robin’s time limit was off on her phone. I turned it off and she hasn’t spoken to me since. I hate her phone and I want to throw it into the ocean. I miss her.

I finally finished redecorating our bedroom today. It still looks quite bare, and I still want to replace some of the furniture, and the ceiling needs to be painted, but it looks a lot better. I’m most proud of the photo wall I created, which isn’t in this picture but is pretty cool. There are…

I finished knitting bunny. Now blocking, stuffing, and dressing. I also spent almost four hours trying to finish up the bedroom, but still not quite there. It’s looking good, though! I also got to have lunch with Myrna, whom I haven’t seen in ages. It was a pretty full day.

This is definitely a last thing before bed just to check the box photo. But I will say that my major accomplishment today was fixing an Excel spreadsheet using formulas and dropdowns and tables and URLs. For someone who only knew the “sum” function before last December, I’m impressed with myself. And I just made…

This is the reaction I got when I asked Robin to play Phase 10 with the rest of the family. Also today, she got her back handspring back after months of missing tumbling practice for various reasons. I love my teenager.
