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…

Aw, how exciting he gets to be home for Christmas Zach starts January 14, but has been getting a lot of the onboarding stuff going I am only working through tomorrow this week. Thursday I am taking Caleb to the oral surgeon for his wisdom teeth appointment. Assuming unless something weird happens they’ll remove and then…

Ooh ginger crinkle… do you have a good shortbread recipe? I had the most delicious cranberry orange shortbread cookie from our local bakery last weekend and I have been thinking about it ever since My mom has been having Christmas up in Wayne for the last few years since they moved up there. And last update mom still wants…

It sounds like I may be having Christmas dinner. So I guess I better get the tree going. And I am finally feeling more cheerful with Zach on a path for moving forward. So maybe merry! Things at very wintery up there for you. Take care

January 14th!!! Wow, your trip to Florida isn’t too far away. And more snow, yikes. I think we are due to get our first precipitation this week. Boo.

ZACH GOT THE JOB AT BD!!!!!!! Thank you God. Thank you Lord. Thank you dear J for your additional prayers. I am a happy for him. I am so relieved. I so happy for him. He said I finally don’t have to cringe when people ask how the job search is going. Woooo!!!!! I’m finally excited for the new year. January 14 starts the…

That’s really sad to hear about Sarah. It’s good you and her husband are doing what you can. Happy Hayden arrival! Blessings!

Wow. You have had a lot going on in the last few days. I’m sorry your sister went through that but am glad you were able to get her to help before she became too sick. And it is also wonderful to hear that the treatment really improved things for her. The weather was beautiful here this weekend. I am not looking forward to…

I keep praying for news, good news, but nothing yet Sending healthy baby wishes. I wasn’t fully induced, my labor had started but I guess it didn’t progress like they wanted so I did have to get hit with whatever that drug was, pitocin? Grinding through the week

oh dear, car trouble is the worst. I hope they made it back without any snow issues or car issues. Having five days off last week sure was nice. Made coming back even harder. I could happily have a five day weekend every weekend. The app we used is just called drawing names and they picked that because Caitlin said that is…

Good food, pretty good time, a few feelings bump- when someone asked if we were drawing names this year and looked at me I said I decided not to bring it up again since it seemed like not everyone was happy about it last year. Everyone denied being unhappy and drawing names was decided including using an app. Then the next…

Happy almost thanksgiving! I made the old family favorite layered lettuce salad, a three bean salad, baby food bars (it’s just a carrot bar recipe that uses some baby food which keeps them really moist) and some brownies for Caitlin. Ready to go and enjoy the meal. Caleb came home this morning and we are all enjoying…

I’m done for the week!!!!! Enjoy your visit 🤗

Well the interview is over. He thought it went well. They said it would be December before a decision. Sigh. Please God. This time.

Great day for Huskers yesterday. Volleyball swept Wisconsin for the second time this year. One more ranked game in conference play and then tourney starts. We should stay hosting a regional bracket until the semifinals. We’ll see how it goes Tomorrow is one of my least favorite days getting all the scanned hours ready for…

Oh yeah, Friyay

I can’t even imagine Christmas yet. Great job on your shopping and preparing. We are planning to get up early to do our grocery shopping tomorrow and hopefully miss the crowds of the pre holiday weekend.

Ooh manicotti sounds good. I remember Caleb wanting it during the pandemic and it was one of the recipes we tried out. I think it was just a recipe off the internet. Filled with some sort of ricotta filling. Hmmm

Zach has an interview on Monday! Thank you God for the opportunity. If you are of the mind I would dearly appreciate a prayer for Zach. It’s at BD again. The department that he interviewed with a year ago and was moments away from an offer before they had to give it to the closed plant person. The place that Zach was so…

How wonderful that your niece wanted the china and maybe the punch bowl. I bet that makes you feel! Ugh, this week. Bernie is sick this week. Probably because of me. 😞. The dryer took a poop this weekend so Bernie is trying to figure it out. Hopefully he can fix it.

That’s great that you get to have Rory and Hannah for thanksgiving! There have been so many gunshots around here this weekend and it’s so weird. I have never heard gunshots in this place before. I can say I’m not thrilled they are close enough that I can hear them. Bernie used to hunt. Zach has no interest and definitely…

Ooooh. Dark green! That sounds beautiful. I would love to maybe change my house color someday. Feeling a bit better today. Hopefully on the mend. Friyay

Started feeling sick yesterday. Feeling worse today. So far it’s a sore throat. Just what nobody ever wants
