So much is up in the air. One choice just leads to another one, and none of the options feel great.

I am working through some tough decisions and it’s making real life difficult.

Some days you just wish you could do over. Today was one of them.

Dance recital is in the books. Christina looked great, and after seeing all of the other performances, I’m excited to see where she goes next season on the team. It went a lot faster today than Friday, and for this I am eternally grateful. Rosina and Dion came to watch too, and I’m also so…

The girls had haircuts today. Robin hadn’t had one in something like two years, and she cut off around five inches. They both got blowouts and they looked so different with straight hair! They were both so happy with the cuts, and I’m glad. Then I met up with Myrna for lunch. I love Myrna.…

We are more than four and a half hours into Christina’s dance recital dress rehearsal. I made the mistake of skipping lunch (and breakfast), so it has been approximately 26 hours since I last ate. I brought a book, but the house lights are down and I can’t see. I am bored and hungry and…

My mind has been racing 1,000 miles an hour this week, and I’m having trouble keeping up with it. I have about 25 pots on the stove, and I’m trying my best to tend to all of them. Eventually this pace is going to catch up with me.

It was a busy day. Robin had her fifth grade graduation in the morning, then had her first cheerleading practice at the new gym, and then I met some chorus friends for wine, cheese, and a river sunset. All very nice. Robin loves her new gym. She said she learned more today than she learned…

We (I) nearly forgot that Christina had a tech rehearsal at the dance studio last night. Thank goodness for phone reminders! We got there about five minutes late, but of course they were running behind. We ended up being there for almost an hour and a half, missing out on a dinner of bacon-wrapped scallops,…

It was a busy day of deep cleaning, clothes shopping for Christina, since she had grown out of nearly everything she owned, going to see the new Guardians of the Galaxy movie, and dinner out at Al’s Pizza. Nice way to wrap up a long weekend.

We had Billy’s family over to celebrate Memorial Day. The dinner spread was pretty impressive. Burgers with three kinds of cheese, bacon, lettuce, tomato, onion, and avocado, hot dogs, homemade coleslaw, fruit salad, beer, soda… And the weather was absolutely perfect. It was 79 degrees and sunny. Put some 70s classics on the speaker and…

Christina went to a friend’s birthday party at Main Event and they were so generous to extend an invitation to Robin, too. It was a fun party other than the fact that I go into sensory overload the instant I walk in that place and also that the party went on for almost 3 1/2…

I’m working on the last cheer team photo, which has stymied me for days and required a lot of creativity and finesse for a novice like me. There is a metal fence to remove, and a large woman, and a truck, and a house. Basically 15% of the original photo is usable. But… I have…

Robin made the elite cheer team at her new gym. So proud of her! I think this season is going to be VERY different from the last couple of years. Not necessarily better or worse, but definitely different. The whole approach is different. I’m kind of excited to see how it goes.

I apprenticed a NAMI family support group tonight, preparing for facilitating at some point. After like 15 hours of training, I learned tonight that the group is not run anywhere near the way I was trained to do it. I brought all the scripts with me and we never even came close to anything even…
