I’m trying to pause and experience my day more, rather than just trying to survive it. These azaleas helped. I always forget we have them. This year they exploded and demanded our attention. I’m glad they did.

Late nights alone after long days. Not so bad.

We had a really great day that ended with 30 minutes of yuck that kind of tainted it. Got a lot done – cleaned up the house, weeded the garden, went to the Game Haus and played Sorry and Scattergories, got ice cream, went food shopping, and had tacos for dinner in front of the…

These girls came out of the tunnel after their performance in tears. Their coach yelled at them and told them it was the worst tumbling she’d ever seen. And then they won first place in their division. And THEN they won grand champions of their whole level. Put that in your pipe and smoke it.

I tried to steal time where I could get it today with marginal success. It might be time for more drastic measures. Whatever they are.

Man, was I cranky today. I only spent ten minutes with my feet in the grass, but it might have been the best ten minutes of my day. Gotta try to make tomorrow better.

My days kind of slip by before I know what’s happened. Suddenly it’s 10:30pm and I don’t know what I’ve accomplished. I want to do more things I enjoy, but I don’t know what to put aside to make it happen. So we have strawberries on a Wednesday evening.

I didn’t get to have the chorus season I’d hoped for, but I am so grateful for what I am getting to do. It’s not terribly challenging music, but it’s music and it’s with other people and it’s fun. Very thankful.

It was a pretty typical day, with the bonus of talking to a friend I don’t talk to enough. I laughed a lot. Maybe too much. And stayed up too late. But it was good.

A day off! I know I should have gone to the beach or done some sewing, but instead I sat around. Sue me. But Christina and I did make this Marge bird for her school project. She created the species and here it is in Lego form. Pretty spot on, if I say so myself.

Robin’s team got second place (out of five) today!! I am so excited for her and her teammates. This is the best she has ever done in cheer, and between this and their bid to Worlds, I couldn’t be any prouder. Congratulations, Robin!

Yet another travel day, this time to Tampa. One more week after this and then we get a break before Worlds. So much traffic! I guess that’s what we get for traveling at 4pm on a Friday.

Today I: Prepared and took the kids to school, wrote the tenth page of my novel, worked, picked Christina up from school, later returned to pick Robin up from school, made dinner, did four loads of laundry, including folding and putting it away, and refilled my medicine trays. Today was an easy day because I…

Had a somewhat frustrating day of back to back everything with no time in between for anything. But I got a shower and a tunafish sandwich and time with Christina, so there were at least a few moments to enjoy.

We put foil on the seats around the kitchen table so that Pinot wouldn’t jump onto it and lick it, and it was working well for months. Until now. He found a way to bypass the foil and jump on the table… but then couldn’t figure out how to get back down. I heard him…
