    I finished this sweater today. I was worried it would be too big, but it fits pretty perfectly. I wish you could read it a little clearer, but it’s pretty cool. We had dinner with Rosina and Dion and it was a lot of fun.

    I’ve been having some pretty good days at work, which I don’t get to say often. But now I’m ready for another week off to prepare for Christmas! Bring it on!

    I took Christina out for ice cream tonight to thank her for cleaning out my car without even being asked. It was nice getting to spend some one on one time with her, even if it was just 20 minutes. The rest of the day was a marathon. They’re all marathons. I just can’t seem…

    Mondays and Wednesdays are marathons. At least today was fairly productive. Got some bills paid and some papers off my desk. Such a small thing, but a huge weight lifted because it’s been sitting undone for weeks. Now, at last, bed.

    We celebrated Robin’s birthday with Colleen & Co. today. It involved Uno Attack, pizza, and eye-rolling over the Jaguars. I also went to the gym and worked out with the girls, which makes it so much more fun. And we finally got the fire pit out again after having the trees taken care of, so…

    Pinot is available to assist in picking up any Doritos that may happen to fall.

    Someone told me today that I’m doing good parenting. Some days it feels more like it than others. Today was one of the better days.

    I had a good talk with Robin (well, to Robin, because she never really said anything other than a barely perceptible nod or shake of the head). I don’t know if it helped her, but I felt better knowing I’d gotten my point across. Now she can make her own decisions and understand exactly where…

    Sleepy dog, sleepy mom. Robin has strep. I think I can sleep for a month.

    After Robin’s epic practice last night, I felt inspired to get my ass on the treadmill for the first time in almost a year and a half. My entire being hurts. I guess this is a good thing?

    Christina has been having trouble sleeping, so came out to the living room to sleep. Pinot didn’t mind.

    Finally made it home and now it’s back to the usual. For a day or two, anyway.

    The kids started camp today, and Robin is fully back to cheer, even with her boot. She was able to stunt with her team and was thrilled about it! I am thrilled for her.

    We ate sooo much food today. Eight people ate ten sausages, eight cheeseburgers, four hot dogs, 85% of a cake, six brownies, coleslaw, macaroni salad, and half a bag of potato chips, not to mention six cans of beer and four liters of soda. What the hell? No one should eat anything else for at…

    Molly and I went to visit Susan this morning, which is an event that has stuck with me all day. Susan was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s a couple years ago and it seemed clear to me that she didn’t entirely know who we were when we arrived (without an invitation). It felt strange. I’m not sure…
