I am so proud of Robin, who spent seven solid hours at a cheer practice in a gym that is not air conditioned on a 95-degree day and then went to a tumbling class immediately afterwards and still put in a solid effort involving many sets of back handsprings without anyone around her, all with…

I didn’t want to take these balloons home from Rosina and Dion’s house, but I’m secretly glad she insisted. I have a soft spot for birthday balloons.

Celebrated my birthday with Dion at their house today. It was a nice day, though I didn’t expect so many people there. I do love them. And Robin loves their cat.

45… the day was pretty good. I loved spending the morning at the beach, alone, so peaceful. I left when all the families started arriving and went to lunch with my own family. Raised a glass to my mom and shared stories with the kids. Spent hours making a delicious cake with Robin. Christina told…

I didn’t get to the pool yesterday, thanks to the weather, so I took the day off from work and went this morning. I did not regret it. I always forget how refreshing the water is when it’s 102 degrees outside. Then we watched the Olympics opening ceremony, which was FOUR HOURS LONG OMG, but…

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…
