The basketball games tonight showed improvement. The girls still only scored one basket, but that’s one basket more than their last game! And the boys only lost by 15. The sportsmanship of the other teams was much better than the first night, and I appreciated that. It’s a little unfair really, because our school is…

I am so frustrated with this one medication I take that is always a week delayed every month when I need to refill it. It literally lays me on my ass for days while I wait for it. Right now it’s been five days since I ordered it and it’s still out of stock. I…

Christina had her science fair today and it was really cool! Everyone in fifth grade was assigned an experiment and had to present their methodology and results to an audience of milling parents. The demonstrations, presentations, and visuals were very well executed, and the kids really knew their stuff. They answered all my oddball questions…

Christina had her fifth grade graduation today. It was a nice ceremony. Christina did not seem engaged, although she did give a speech with a couple of her classmates, and she did allow me to take one picture at the photo booth (but with no props). She had ordered an outfit in advance, but then…

No sun yet, but here’s our rainbow! We could see the moon tonight, so who knows what tomorrow will bring?

I got some things off my chest today. Now it is kind of hovering in the air and I’m not really sure where it’ll land. To be honest, I’m not entirely sure it even matters, but we’ll see. I’m getting tired of second chances, even if I stand to gain from them. Second chances just…

The girls had their first soccer game of the season today. Robin didn’t play because she thought she wasn’t good enough. After watching today’s game, she now knows she need not worry. The important thing is they all had fun.

I was planning on skipping the school open house, but I’m glad Christina pushed me to go. It’s cool seeing what my kids are doing with their days, to meet their teachers, see their classrooms. Seaside is such a cool school… almost every room had a different essential oil diffusing and all the overhead fluorescent…

I joined Christina on her field trip to St. Augustine today and it was a lot of fun! I learned a lot, including that I know next to nothing about the city of St. Augustine. I came home and passed out with a fever. Guess I caught whatever’s been going around. Darn.

The kids said they understood the word, “reverent,” but I’m not sure they did. Christina threw a tantrum before Robin’s spiral, so she went barefoot. I’m either the best or the worst mom for allowing that to happen. To be honest, I was just grateful she was in the car at all.

Trying to do more with my days where I can. I finally cleaned up the piles of papers that I had to take out of my broken filing cabinet. It resulted in two trash bags of shredded papers dating back to 2016. But now my office seems to have almost doubled in size. And then…

Tonight was teacher meet and greets at the kids’ school and boy did the kids run straight for Ms. LaTanya. And boy did she not just stop everything she was doing to embrace them. I’m sure there are lots of great schools out there, but I doubt if any of them could ever feel as…

Busy day getting ready to travel. I was trying to wrap up several things at work, but kept having to step away for one reason or another. This was a worthy cause, though. The kids spent the week at summer camp preparing a production of “Stone Soup,” and it was really good! Christina was the…

The kids’ school hosted a movie night fundraiser at which zero people watched the movie. Kids were zooming by in every which way so that they were no more than blurred lines criss-crossing the semi-dark room. It was chaos, and all the parents sat in their folding chairs paying no attention while I curled up…
