I haven’t done this in forever but that needs to change

Yesterday I did something I haven’t done in a long time. I went for a hike without my kids. I’m not sure why I don’t do this more often. I do like time to myself, and I love being out in nature. Seems like I would be doing this every chance I get. Who knows. …

We just hit a major milestone but I have mixed feelings

I’ve hit a pretty major parenting milestone. Elliott and Emmett are both in high school now and I no longer have any kids in grade school. We can take this a step further and also acknowledge that not only are they both in high school, but they’re both in mainstream high school. I’m so proud …

He had a major meltdown this afternoon and I’m completely drained

It’s been a frustrating week. I’ve been dealing with anxious kids, Gavin challenges, and now equipment issues with my podcast.

This is actually really sad but I’m in a place where I really want to celebrate every possible victory I can. It’s been a long day. Emmett and I had somewhere to be in the morning. The information is currently under embargo, so I can’t talk about it yet, but it was a pretty cool …

I’m trying to focus on doing better

Today was pretty rough. I spent a good chunk of it sleeping. It’s been body aches, headaches, nausea, cold sweats, and of course, my personal favorite, extreme exhaustion. I haven’t eaten much today and I’ve been trying to stay hydrated as best I can. I ended up mowing the lawn this evening and I definitely …

It’s not my responsibility to make sure that other people do their job

I’m starting to feel kinda miserable. It’s been about 14 hours since my second booster and I’m definitely feeling it. I don’t mind the sore arm, and headache, but the exhaustion is the worst. I was already exhausted and now I’m even more so. I crashed for a couple hours before dinner because I just …
