I took the girls to the mall with their friends. Robin got to go alone and had an absolute great time. She didn’t want to leave, which makes me so happy. Christina also had a great time, but had to stick with me. I guess there are worse things. I was good and didn’t buy…

What a day. I am absolutely overwhelmed at work right now, literally spinning wheels in every possible direction at once. I got so caught up in trying to stay on top of things that I forgot about Robin’s tumbling class. We left 20 minutes late and then got stuck in a massive traffic snarl caused…

It’s embarrassing how infrequently we go to the beach when it is as close to us as it is. But we made it today for a record-setting hour and a half. Too much longer than that and the sand would have been scalding to walk back to the car on. Next time we go, I…

I set up three Apple Watches today. One for myself (my new one), one for Christina (my old one), and one for Robin, who had to unpair and reset hers since it wasn’t working right. There is something delicious about opening an Apple box. Even their packaging is well designed. Looking forward to tomorrow’s run.

Dance team assignments for next year were announced today. Christina is on the junior team again with an asterisk that means something which will be disclosed at a later date. (I have learned not to ask too many questions.) She was also awarded a small group dance (a trio) with her friend Gia and another…

Robin had a tumbling class tonight. She and her coach were the only two people in the building. I’m not sure the gym will last until the end of summer as planned. But she was so excited that she’s getting her back tuck. If it makes her happy, it makes me happy. Plus it’s cool…

Christina and I got pedicures today. I also bought myself a bikini – the first one I have dared to buy in probably at least 20 years. Robin and Christina said it looks good on me, and they’re usually pretty quick to say when something doesn’t look good on me. We also went food shopping…

Christina and I went to the park and played catch and I even went on the swings. The rest of the day was dedicated to the Harry Potter game. Sadly, the glasses and table runner I ordered for tomorrow were delayed and will not arrive in time. I’m so disappointed. Also I’m nervous about tomorrow’s…

Man, was I cranky today. I only spent ten minutes with my feet in the grass, but it might have been the best ten minutes of my day. Gotta try to make tomorrow better.

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.…

Drove home today and I am relieved to be back. It was a very difficult trip for me. I don’t think the kids will ever want to go hiking with me again. I killed them with mountains and heat and humidity and bugs and also mountains. I also really struggled to keep myself grounded. I…

I don’t know if I should disclose that I got fed up with work today and took the kids to the park after picking them up from school instead of coming back to work. I do not regret it even one iota. Sunshine can work wonders.
