My son is loving marching band which makes me very happy for him. It’s really crazy to see the effort it takes to get to football games and competitions. They have multiple school buses and a tractor trailer full of equipment. They also have two other large trailers. Tonight it looked like the semi and […]
I feel great today. Before work I opened a package from Dillards since I had some extra time today. I found some great sale items at the end of August from the community tab of someone I follow on YouTube (I can’t find it again!). I have been using my black MCM tote and red […]
It’s back to school time! My oldest started high school on Tuesday! He has been balancing playing water polo and being in marching band really well. I am so proud of him. If he can get the school stuff down, too, then we will be all set. My middle kiddo started 7th grade. He […]
DAY 1 (Monday, July 8th) Hurricane Beryl has made landfall. The storm made landfall to the west of us which, as us gulf coasters know, means we are on the dirty side. Lots of rain and wind happening because of the way hurricanes spin. After the swim meet last night, a bunch of folks went […]
Yesterday I was prepping the golf cart for the parade and was walking out of the garage and my old, worn crock hit something wet, and I slipped. I mostly caught my fall with my wrist (scratched my palm), but I also hit my shin and got a little scratch (very minor you can’t even […]

I am super happy that my oldest is enjoying water polo so far. He said it’s been fun learning the skills. I just hope he can step up to the aggression because it sounds like water polo players are pretty tough on each other. He did his team picture today. He was supposed to wear […]
I decided to stay home another day from my original plan to head back to summer camp yesterday. A fellow troop parent who lives in the neighborhood grabbed the portable sink that I was going to bring up so that is at least taken care of. I also sent a package of stuff up for […]
I took this week off work. It comes with a strange sense of relaxation and guilt for the work things I am not doing. But let’s just think about the good stuff. I am being full time mom this week! As I write this, I am at swim practice with my daughter. It’s her first […]
Summer is so much more stressful than it should be! There are so many kid things during the day that it makes it hard to keep up! For me it all has to do with swimming right now. My kids are in a lot of swimming related activities. All 3 are in the local summer […]
