My crazy family has decided to get a cat.  We want our cat to be the controversial kind…an outdoor cat.  This is in formulation for us so lots of speculation and trying to get things planned and figured out. Our kids are super familiar with cats because my in-laws have them.  Hubs and I have […]

My daughter made all the practices and driving worth it this past weekend. Woo hoo!! We drove to Cypress (again!) for a long course swim meet. We were in Cypress the previous weekend for a water polo tournament. It’s the first long course swim meet of the season. We were also at a pool that […]

My middle kid spent the night at his best friends’ house last weekend. They have a puppy and he was chasing my son around the house, and my son slipped and hit his foot on something. For one thing, why was he running inside someone’s house? Ugh. And another, he came hobbling home and showed […]

Coach got me.  Yep, Presidents Day sale plus Valentine’s Day. Ha! I have been eyeballing this ‘cosmic’ zip card case since it came out. I just couldn’t justify paying $50 when I already have a card case like it that I got for much cheaper last summer (signature print with bananas).  But when the 15% […]

This weekend is my daughter’s first water polo tournament. We are pretty excited!  It will be interesting to see how that all goes, but I am super excited for her.  I really hope she has fun. She wants to quit swimming and just do water polo, but that’s not happening quite yet. I told her […]

The Explorer hit a new milestone this week – it hit 80,000 miles!  After the booboo it had in November (see previous post), I was feeling kind of down about the Explorer after getting it back.  It needed some clean up, I lost a piece of my roof rack while driving back from the shop […]

Merry Christmas! This year Christmas has been so weird. For one thing, the holidays themselves have been thrown off with no traveling. I was really looking forward to traveling over Thanksgiving, but that ended up not happening. We were home for Christmas Eve at the in-laws which is normal feeling, but I don’t even think […]

Ok…time for a car update. Yep. A car update. I came home from work the other day and the hubs was researching Explorers. He was thinking I could get a used one with the new body style and we could give mine, which is a 2013 model, to my son. I think he’d like the […]

At my daughter’s swim practice. I have gotten a bunch of work done so things are going well. She’s in the pool, and I worked on my laptop for a while. I buttoned up some loose ends I didn’t get to at work. It’s fun watching her when she’s having fun. At water polo she […]

Had a good chat with my sisters last night which inspired me to update my blog! 😄 We are trying to decide what our family is going to do over the holidays. The big unknown is how mobile my hubs will be for any of it. I really like our Thanksgiving plans of the whole […]
