One more week of summer vacation down, two weeks to go! We are in the homestretch and the end is in sight — so why does it feel so far away? Well, first of all that’s my anxiety talking. The days are so long, that it’s hard for me to wrap my brain around them.…
It’s been a couple weeks since I sat down to write. While that usually means my life is too boring to think of anything to say, this time I’ve actually been busy ok? Looks like summer is in full swing. With some precautions of course, but much more busy-ness than we’ve experienced in awhile. On…
Boy oh boy, hot summer. It’s been a scorcher this week huh? It made me feel pretty lazy overall, and completely unprepared for many, many, many more hot summer days. But I still managed to drag myself in the ugly pool 3 days in a row and pose as “fun mom” for a little bit.…
How lucky was I to have my family visit for the weekend?? My mom and sister drove out to see us. When we did the math, we realized it had been 18+ months since we’d been together! Too long, that’s for sure. There was much to catch up on, and I was so grateful they…
How did a trip to Los Olivos come about out of the blue?? Well, we had friends come over last weekend, and you know what that means: time to uproot our entire existence, rethink all our life (and decor) decisions, and deep clean the house. It took a couple days to get everything done and…
I hadn’t been feeling my usual anxiety about summer break (thanks Lexapro!) but we were about 2.5 hours into it, when I remembered why it’s so damn overwhelming. Stevie has what is known as “zero chill”, officially diagnosed by ME. And when his schedule is disrupted (or non-existent) it can be quite the challenge. His…
Hello, hello, hello! Hope you have had a pleasant week. Things feel like they are really changing quickly around here. Of course, after the way this last year dragged on while simultaneously flying by, everything feels a bit out of sorts. But some sense of “normal”, so to speak, is at our fingertips. We have…
You ready to talk about mental health? I always find it so interesting that my intentions with blogging come and go so easily. There is steady motivation for a period of time, excited to write again… until I’m not. I start to take more days off than I intend to. But this time around, it’s…
Oooh this week. It was a tough one. I won’t bore you with all the gory details, but I will say that by Friday, I was freakin’ D-O-N-E with everything and everyone. Calgon take me away. But we had weekend plans for the first time in about a million years, so I had to pull…
Oops! I fell off the blogging wagon last week, and today wasn’t looking so great either. I honestly just completely forgot about it. My mind has been so preoccupied with doctor appointments and decisions regarding sending Stevie back to school (along with all the normal preoccupations, of course). After talking to his cardiologist, she gave…
