Yesterday was hands down one of the best days of my life. I told the girls we were going to a Yankees spring training game and got them up at 6am. They saw the signs for Magic Kingdom as we got closer, but assumed we were going past it. It wasn’t until we were at…

Today’s big spring break adventure was playing Phase 10 at Panera with the kids. It sounds kinda lame, but it’s these little kinds of things that stick with me as warm memories that I can draw on when things are tough. The memories of bigger moments are more like flashes of light that don’t last…

After more than ten years, we finally made it to the Catty Shack Ranch. And instead of any of the beautiful cats, bears, and foxes they’ve rescued, I took a photo of one of the wandering roosters. I was promised that while the tigers do mostly get fed chicken, they do not eat THESE chickens.…

We went to the Kennedy Space Center today, which was both cool and mildly disappointing. Look closely here and you’ll see Robin peeking through the window. We had fun, but I had kind of expected there to be less focus on the flashiness of space travel and more on the science behind space travel. I…

We went to Rosina and Dion’s house for a sleepover last night. I had plans to make pina coladas, and not wanting to leave the kids out, I brought the stuff to make Shirley Temples too. In the end, no pina coladas ever got made, but Robin did have enough Shirley Temples to use up…

Inexplicable anxiety has been the name of the game for a while now, and tonight is no exception. It just starts out of nowhere for no apparent reason. But here I go through it like all good humans.

So far spring break has not been terribly exciting. Today I did some writing, went to the library, paid some bills, read some of my book, and facilitated my last NAMI Peer to Peer class in the current session. Oh, and what else, played (and lost) Harry Potter. Tomorrow should be equally exciting. It’s kind…

Just home from church and day is still in front of me. It’s a nice day. I should do something outside, but I will probably end up taking the kids clothes shopping and playing Harry Potter. Maybe we can take Harry Potter outside at least.

This is the look I get when I make Jackson wait for his treat. I had to bribe him to sit still long enough to catch a shot of him cheering on his Nittany Lion basketball team in the Big Ten tournament. Had a nice lunch with Myrna today and came home to play –…

Today was tough. Lots of unexpected tears. I’m exhausted from the exertion of it. But I bought a shit-ton of shoes and some pizza and I guess spending money I don’t have has its value too.

It was a hard day, but not the hardest. I was disproportionately disappointed when an important member of the class I’m teaching on Thursdays backed out of the remaining classes. I’m having a disagreement at work that is stressing me out. Robin took one of my sodas, or at least I thought she did. I…

I turned off my alarm in my sleep this morning, which is really just a lame excuse for not wanting to get up and run on the treadmill. I’m thinking about turning the alarm off tomorrow too. The rest of the day was mildly disappointing, from mediocre writing for my class tomorrow to wasting time…

I finally started feeling a little better yesterday. The day got away from me a little bit, but I managed to get some things done. Everything but the dishes. And the floors. But I’ll take it.

I had written these little flowers off as lost during the deep freeze earlier this winter, but here they are! I am going to have to build a garden around them. I am still not feeling quite right. Maybe I need to sleep next to the ocean for a week.

The girls did not finish in the top three this weekend, but they were closer than they’ve ever been. It was the first time I thought they might have had a chance. The judges gave some really constructive feedback with their scores, which is awesome because now the team has some really solid things to…
