I gave Robin some tough news today about a decision Billy and I made for her and she took it as hard as I expected. It mad me sad and frustrated, because all I want for her is happiness. I feel like I am losing her and it’s my fault. Let’s go back to the…

The girls won their soccer game because the other team never showed up. We’ll take a win however we get it! They used the time to practice, which was fine with me because the weather was gorgeous.

Some days you just want to throw in the trash and this was one of them. Nothing terrible happened, but I opted out of almost everything and literally made myself sick for no good reason. I guess the joke’s on me.

I forgot what hard work it is to paint a room. It’s not just the physical act of painting that’s hard, but also the challenge of teamwork. While home improvement was part of my motivation this week, what I wanted more than that was time with my children, doing something together that we could all…

I had a pretty good day. I finished up my sermon for next weekend and I think it’s pretty good. We went shopping for beds for the girls. Robin ended up getting a nice 7-piece bedroom set for $800, which was a real steal. We went out for dinner, I played with Legos, and we…

Today was better than yesterday, but I still needed a day off to sleep the rest of it off. The biggest thing is to be healthy for this weekend’s cheer competition. The schedule is taking more out of me than I expected. I’m enjoying it, but will be grateful when it’s over. At least for…

I dragged Christina to pick up my new sunglasses after school. Billy texted me along the way asking if I was out getting my new sunglasses and Christina was mystified as to how he knew where I was going. So I asked him and he said it’s because he has a pencil and takes notes.…

Not only is this probably my favorite Christmas present this year, but these are also probably the comfiest pajamas I own.

Christina earned a manicure for letting her nails grow without picking them and I figured, I didn’t pick my nails either, so…

I finally replaced my tire. Had to drive 20 minutes to the dealership just to talk to someone, but they squeezed me in without an appointment and got it done at no charge. I still think they need to either disable their phone lines altogether or learn how to return calls, but once I did…

I intended to gift this scarf last Christmas, but it took me a year to tie in the loose ends and block it. Hopefully it is going to a good home.

It was a crazy evening. Christina’s dance class was extended to 8:30, which is when Billy leaves for work and I’m bringing Robin’s teammate home from practice. So I was all set to tell the dance studio I’d be there late, when Robin’s teammate let us know she was sick and not going to practice.…

I stayed up until 1:30am to finish the last hat. I know no one will appreciate what I put into them. I literally spent the equivalent of a second full time job on them over the last week. And it’ll probably bring in like $30 for the PTA. Whatever. At least my volunteer hours are…

I took some time to call people I haven’t spoken to in a while. I spent an awful lot of time talking about myself. All I have to say is people were very patient with me, and not bad at sounding interested.
