Today was seriously draining, from start to end, and it’s not even over. I really try so hard to do the right thing by everyone and I get so much flack for it. It’s defeating.

Dress rehearsal going on forever and ever. I really used to love show tunes and Broadway, but right now it’s kind of making me nauseous. I’m too grumpy for this right now.

I hate waking up early, so I sacrificed my time at the coffee shop today and got up a little later. It’s not quite the same as an hour to myself, but a little misty drama in the morning is a nice tradeoff nonetheless.

These things seem so cute before St. Patrick’s Day and then afterwards they just seem silly. I went back to work today after more than a week off and I remembered how little I enjoy credit cards, banking and compliance. It’s a living, I guess.

I spent hours playing the Harry Potter game. Literally the whole day. I need to walk away from this game because my life is passing me by and Voldemort keeps killing me. There are so many things I want to build and create and none of it is getting done. Will I stop? Well, maybe…

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.
