The girls did amazing at their first day or competition. They scored 83.6, which really isn’t that impressive on its own, but when you consider that two months ago their score was 61.3, it’s huge. Every competition they have added a few more points to their score, and maybe… they can get into the 90s…

Remember TGI Friday’s? Apparently no one else does either. Friday night at 7pm… we were one of two occupied tables in the entire restaurant. Could have been worse… could have been mobbed like it was in 1986?

I am just not feeling great these days. Not sure if it is anxiety or stress-related or if it’s more physical, but focus and concentration aren’t really where I want them to be, and I can’t seem to sleep enough. We have another cheer competition weekend coming up and I hope I come back on…

Christina has her father’s temper, alright. She accidentally kicked over this Lego Hogwarts work in progress the other day and instead of trying to piece it back together, she threw it and all the rest of it into the floor, breaking it to pieces. It would have been easy to call it a total loss,…

There’s not much to say about today. I’m trying to write where I have very little inspiration and I’m taking photos right before bed just to check the box. There was cavatappi pasta and Sondheim and Webber singing and now I am going to pass out from exhaustion.

Today has been a day of intense introspection. Not sure where I’m headed.

It was a long, busy day and I am thoroughly exhausted. Showered, blew my hair straight for the first time in about a year and a half, went to church, went food shopping, baked a cake, cleaned the house, made mango salsa, had my sister in law and her family over, cleaned up, and now…

We finally won the Harry Potter game today! So exciting. I actually can’t remember a single other thing that happened today. That’s how epic that win was.

More than anything, all I wanted for Christmas was the Harry Potter board game. Not so much because I’m a die hard Harry Potter fan (which I’m really not), but because I’d played it with my brother and sister in law and enjoyed it. Billy and I have spent hours and hours of our lives…

The marathon of my life continues. A bunch of people backed out of tonight’s church class (that I’m leading) at the last minute and I was so exhausted, I just wanted to cancel it. But there wasn’t enough time to let everyone know before it started. So I went reluctantly and said I’d just plod…

There are some nice things in the backyard if you look hard enough.

Back to the grind today. Survived the gym, did some prep for the class I’m leading on Thursday, worked hard all day and accomplished nothing, took the kids to the library, and now I’ve got an entire evening free! What! Also, our backyard is an absolute disgrace. I waited like 15 years to have my…

The morning started with intense anxiety over absolutely nothing, which led to tears, but then also led to this.

I took Christina to the zoo today and on the way home we drove on the highway with all the windows open. It was so loud, but I could still hear Christina singing at the top of her lungs out the window. I absolutely love the little girl in her. I hope that innocence and…

This is Coconut the hermit crab, Christina’s class pet for whom we are caring this weekend. This is the first time I’ve seen him out of his shell since we brought him home yesterday afternoon. He seems very timid but has been happily drinking water for about 45 minutes. I guess hermit crabs, like the…
