    Christina and I played hooky today. We had plans to go paddling, but it rained, so we went to see the movie, If, instead. It was a good movie, but I cried from the opening credits all the way to the very end. So emotional! I also figured out the twist way early, but it…

    Highlights: Christina lost a tooth, pizza night with the fam, baseball on TV (the Yankees won), and interesting work statistics to be shared at staff meetings.

    I finished untangling some epically tangled yarn today. I bought it like 8 years ago and never used it because it became so epically tangled. But I’m thinking it wants to be a bunny. Because one bunny is simply not enough.

    Pinot at bedtime. Every night. “Put me in my crate if you must.”

    The kids and I cleaned the gutters for the first time since we moved in eleven years ago. There were trees growing in them. It was hard work, but feels so good to accomplish something like this. And the weather was amazing. Hooray for spring!

    Back to baseball! Also, after surviving to the Sweet Sixteen, my bracket finally started breaking. It’s the best I’ve ever done in a bracket, so it was only a matter of time.

    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 I: Prepared and took the kids to school, wrote the tenth page of my novel, worked, picked Christina up from school, later returned to pick Robin up from school, made dinner, did four loads of laundry, including folding and putting it away, and refilled my medicine trays. Today was an easy day because I…

    We put foil on the seats around the kitchen table so that Pinot wouldn’t jump onto it and lick it, and it was working well for months. Until now. He found a way to bypass the foil and jump on the table… but then couldn’t figure out how to get back down. I heard him…

    Today was one of those days that was not unlike many other days. Work, dance, cheer, dinner, repeat. It’s hard to fit in much else.

    Without traffic, we made it home from Atlanta in an hour’s less time and used a quarter of a tank less gas to do it. This was a good trip, but I am exhausted. Four more days until the next one.

    I think sometimes I forget how hard it is to be 12. So much is changing all at once – your body, your relationships, school. An entirely new sense of self is developing and it’s so hard to navigate it all, to sort things out. It’s hard to know where to turn, if anywhere. It’s…

    Unlike me, Pinot knows not to read work emails right before bed.

    I’ve had my eye on this reindeer costume for Pinot for weeks. I finally broke down and bought it. It is a little disappointing. The hood with the reindeer antlers doesn’t stay up and it blinds him because it covers his eyes. Also the antlers don’t stand up. It took forever to get this crappy…

    Pinot FINALLY got a haircut today. What a relief for everyone. He hates the car but loves the sunset.
