    I love the iPhone night goggles… what amazing detail in the night shots!

    Today was a lot of putting one foot in front of the other, trying to get stuff done instead of putting it off, with approximately a 72% success rate.

    Continuing to take tiny big steps forward. Getting closer to… something.

    Having two kids doing two completely different things in two completely different places at the exact same time is pretty stressful. Add some thunderstorms and it becomes a bit of a cluster. Somehow everyone got where they were going and back again and I even got a little sky porn at the end of the…

    I feel a little bit like I am standing in a room, trying to catch confetti. Things are flying all around me and I’m only managing to deal with tiny little pieces of it in no particular order. It’s making me very tired.

    I am on the brink. Today was hard. But now it’s the weekend. Time to turn things around.

    I finally got a little bit out of my routine. I walked to school to pick up the kids, and I took Christina to buy sneakers, she having been told that the boots we just bought her wouldn’t cut it for gym. I don’t know if it helped much, but I guess it’s a step.

    I didn’t realize how addicted to the iPads the girls have become. They literally don’t know what to do with themselves without it and will do almost anything for a fix. Withdrawal is real – when I cut them off, they immediately started fighting – truly hurtful things were said. I did at least set…

    Today we went for a short hike up Black Balsam Bald. We watched a storm rolling in toward us for the whole hike and ALMOST made it back to the car without getting caught in it. What is a hike up a mountain without getting caught in the rain?

    Finally home after our long trip. Came home to torrential rain, thunder and traffic. And two furry animals who didn’t know who to say hello to first. I don’t think I want to go back to normal life.

    The weather has been wild lately. This morning Billy hydroplaned right off the highway during a rainstorm. Luckily he didn’t hit anything and no one got hurt, but there was enough damage to the car that it had to be towed to a nearby garage. While he was on the phone with AAA for a…

    Drove into this storm to spend over $600 getting the dogs their annual shots and tags. I brought the kids to “help,” which was pretty dumb. The lights went out just as Jackson was getting his second shot, and no one freaked out. Also, this was the first time he did not need to be…

    The girls had haircuts today. Robin hadn’t had one in something like two years, and she cut off around five inches. They both got blowouts and they looked so different with straight hair! They were both so happy with the cuts, and I’m glad. Then I met up with Myrna for lunch. I love Myrna.…

    It was a busy day. Robin had her fifth grade graduation in the morning, then had her first cheerleading practice at the new gym, and then I met some chorus friends for wine, cheese, and a river sunset. All very nice. Robin loves her new gym. She said she learned more today than she learned…

    I apprenticed a NAMI family support group tonight, preparing for facilitating at some point. After like 15 hours of training, I learned tonight that the group is not run anywhere near the way I was trained to do it. I brought all the scripts with me and we never even came close to anything even…
