Things on my mind tonight: potential career moves, ice cream, cheerleading tryouts, tomorrow’s dance competition, knitting bunnies, baseball.

I spent some time on the back patio with Billy after dinner, just talking. I didn’t realize how much I missed that. I think I talked a little too much about myself, but it’s at least a start. We’re both feeling our way through this.

Best part of my day was having all four of us eating together at the pizza place between Christina’s two dance classes. Good conversation and good food, good combination.

People say you should stop to smell the roses. Right now it’s time to stop and smell the jasmine.

Robin had an Allstar Worlds sendoff performance tonight and all the girls left in tears as though they’d never see each other again. In two days.

How did Billy’s wrestling boosters know how much I love craft beer?

I think I had a pretty good parenting day today. The phone situation with Robin is getting to a boiling point because she has retreated so far into it that she won’t go out with friends or even come out of her room, where she closes her blackout blinds and literally lives in darkness. I…

Christina had a dance competition and did pretty well. Her production dance is amazing and got a couple shout-outs on stage from other performers. It won first place and a golden egg, which really looks a lot more like a chicken than an egg. She said it was a duck… either way, not an egg,…
