Had lunch with Myrna today, which is always a good time. I wish I’d had a little more time for myself today, but even on a day off, I can’t seem to make it happen. It is really starting to frustrate me.

I am so proud of Robin, who spent seven solid hours at a cheer practice in a gym that is not air conditioned on a 95-degree day and then went to a tumbling class immediately afterwards and still put in a solid effort involving many sets of back handsprings without anyone around her, all with…

Another cheerleading weekend. I introduced the kids to Outback Steakhouse and they both regretted not ordering steak and mashed potatoes after I got my meal. I’m tired of Orlando traffic, by the way.
