I have been in a weird mood all week. First getting really pissed off at the doctors office and just in a really bad place with work. They added this new Sr Director blah blah because we have been such a disaster according to the new Executive Vice whatever and she’s going to get it all fixed. When we had a person who had…

That’s great that Karah is cooking and getting a good variety of food exposure for the littles. I was much better at that with Zach. He loved meat and potatoes. Caleb sucked the joy out of cooking for many, many years. He was picky and even when he liked things he didn’t like repeating meals. Weirdly he is very adventurous…

I’m so glad you made it safe and are having a great start to your visit. Soak up all the gbaby love. It sounds like Karah could do well staying home. Having three in daycare would likely eat up most of her salary. The weekend was pretty chill. Today was not. I had to go to the doctors office to get lab results and got told…

Are you traveling already? I hope things are going smooth. I can't believe a Blackhawk helicopter and a passenger jet collided. Terrifying. Sad. And I am already heart-sick and terrified of the next four years and it's only been days. I took another vacation day to as I work to get them used up before my anniversary date.…

I wouldn’t be surprised if any number of things happened to Behlen. Closure is possible, them relocating is also possible with this new team. Previous leadership believed in Columbus and local ownership. None of the new leadership even live in Columbus so it doesn’t matter to them if Columbus is ok. It’s so sad. It would…

Ugh. Yesterday was not the Sunday I was hoping for. The smoke alarms were blaring repeatedly and it took me and Zach hours to figure out how to get them to stop. Bernie had disappeared hunting (and I didn’t know and he wouldn’t pick up). Even with taking all the batteries out they still kept going off. We had to keep…

Did your Florida kids get all that snow that I saw on the news?

Things are just deteriorating at work. They continue to bring in these new executives who make it clear they don't respect anyone (several have publicly said the reason they have to keep hiring from other states is because there is no one smart in this town). Sales are slow right (which is typical for this time of year and…

Yeah - the tariffs thing is definitely a worry. I need a new/different car too. Right now things are actually swinging a bit of the way back to consumers with finally seeing some of the financing promos and somewhat better deals. I just can't find/figure out what I want. I think maybe a Toyota 4runner but there aren't a…

I just have shower curtains too. I have never had doors, but I agree that I think washing or replacing the curtain is better. Oh boy, it was the feels like 30 below. Thankfully we are back in the positive and it was 20 today. Yuck week. At least it’s Friday tomorrow.

The visitation was yesterday and we went to that. I planned to go to the funeral this morning but I couldn’t get out of work on time. That made me pretty unhappy. The weather has hit a stretch of the bitter, dangerous cold. Hopefully after tomorrow it passes I can’t believe it’s almost time for your trip to Florida! Happy…

Zach is really enjoying his new job. He has been so happy and just happy! It just really shines a light on how not great he was doing before. I’m so relieved and happy that it makes me teary. I made double batches of lasagna and enchiladas and took a pan of each over to Michele so they could have a couple of easy meals. Of…

I love a good pajama day!

Orville’s health was pretty poor the last few years. He had dementia and a number of other issues. So I say ultimately this is peace. Zach just got home and is so happy. Things are starting great. He’s enjoying his team. I’m so freaking happy for him.

Yeah it’s pretty cold, thankfully light on the precipitation. First day was just paperwork and training videos. More of that coming today, but should have that wrapped up tomorrow. My sisters father in law passed away yesterday. So likely will have a funeral on Friday or Saturday. It’s sad for the family of course but

Glad you are getting past your sick. It sounds like it is running rampant. I took Zach in for a flu shot Friday. He hasn’t been around many people recently and will be around a lot of them starting tomorrow. Tomorrow! Onboarding starts tomorrow! He should be with his team by Friday. I’m so excited and emotional. We had…

Oh dang. Dang sick stuff. Rest up and feel better soon!! Good job on the puzzle. I haven’t had one out in awhile. I think I have a new one under my bed yet. 🤗

I am taking Friday off as I have come to the point of having to burn through my vacation before 3/1. (Poor choice of words with the awfulness in CA- praying for them). No plans. Hopefully my other organizers will get here and I can work on that. Or the fourth season of only murders in the building will arrive and maybe…

Yay for the successful squish. Boo for feeling sick. Hope you can kick it soon. No major snow hit us thankfully, but the bitter cold arrived. No fun. Kansas got hit pretty hard. I guess another system is moving in this weekend. Rest up

Keep trying on the bagels. They sound yummy if you can figure them out

Great job on getting to the Y. This weather system is moving through right now. We are in a zone for anywhere between 1-6 inches. I’m certainly hoping for less. And definitely none of the ice that further south is getting. I know we need the moisture just hate driving in it. I worked my butt off in my closet and bathroom…

Your New Year’s Eve foods you made sounds delicious! I just got a wild hair to try and reorganize my closet and vanity. I’m no closer to getting a new one but I can try to clean up and declutter. If I’m successful that will make me feel good. Wishing you an easy and successful squish. Weird week with a day off on a…

Happy New Year! Here’s to hopeful possibilities in 2025. I am so grateful for this connection we started years ago.

I'm glad David was able to surprise his family and that it mostly worked out. Although thinking about it from the point of being a mom home alone with littles it may have been a little scary having someone come up to house she didn't recognize. Glad it worked though! Caleb stayed home until Christmas Day and then left to…

Merry Christmas!

Oh no, I’m sorry to hear that Sarah was so ill she had to be hospitalized. I hope she does ok I hope David’s plans to surprise his family succeed. What a fun memory that would be. I think Caleb is over the worst of it. Tonight he said he would try doing his own overnight pills. I think he has been enjoying having me “mom”…

It’s good you have nice neighbors who will bring you your mail! Any new sourdough recipes? My niece finally found a migraine medicine that was helping her and then her insurance company denied it. Now she has to try yet another and maybe then her doctor will consider appealing. Infuriating

We are on day two following the removal of all four of Caleb’s wisdom teeth. He is doing pretty well so far. I am on nurse mom mode. Tracking and keeping his meds going and we seem to be staying on top of his pain so far. Not much sleep for me but he rested pretty good so that makes me happy. He’s hungry and we struggled…

Work is nuts this week. It was going to be super busy anyway with people getting ready for holiday and having to do month end work this week, but they threw in all these meetings for the new ERP system (the system that runs all the order entry, scheduling, purchasing, forecasts, engineering, etc) because it worked for the…
