- Listening to either The Lumineers CD or my Pitch Perfect Pandora station
- Brainstorming ideas for Spring Break. We are going to hunker down in San Antonio and try to avoid the rush of tourists. Which means we will be no where near the Alamo, Riverwalk, Sea World, Zoo or Museums. Which means I need to think of some things to fill up our days.
- Reading Where’d You Go, Bernadette by. M. Semple. I’m only on page 2, so can’t make any judgements yet.
- Juicing, Menu Planning and Trying to Practice Self Restraint again in hopes to clean up my diet a little. Someone has gotten overly fond of sugar and processed foods again… and has the pimples to prove it. Tell me how I can have both new gray hairs, wrinkles AND pimples popping up simultaneously? Shouldn’t they exist independently?? I apologize to anyone who came in contact with me over the weekend and had to witness the mess that was my face.
- Enjoying my girl’s reaction to Waiting for the Magic by P. MacLachlan . (‘This is my favorite book I’ve ever read! And can we get 5 dogs?”) It was the most mature book we’ve read together, but so wonderfully and sensitively written. Next up is Charlotte’s Web. Pass the tissues. And pass on the bacon.
- Scrambling to ‘train’ for a 5K in 3 weeks that I got talked into. Is there a yoga mat to 5K program?? My only goal is to not embarrass my self. Too much.
- Watching my little guy pour over the Guinness Book of World Records. There are some bizarre records in that book: most balloons blown up with a nose, most weight lifted by ni*ppl*es, fasted mile on a pogo stick. Maybe I should see if I can get in the book for ‘most cups of tea consumed in a year’ or maybe ‘only person to sport both pimples and gray hairs.’
- Trying to finish my girl’s 6th year photo book before she hits 7 and a half this week.
- Drinking a lot of tea: Central Market Green Jasmine, Numi Chinese Breakfast, Yogi Licorice Mint and Tazo Joy.
- Missing my sister. It’s been too long since I’ve been in her presence.
- Overhearing this exchange between my boy and his buddy who are currently playing upstairs “Let’s work together and try teamwork. Teamwork always works.” Guess whose mom makes him watch PBS kids shows instead of Sponge Bob?
What are you up to?
I love these little glimpses into your life! Wish San Antonio was closer…
Finally taking care of what I should have done in July. We need to catch up……..
What??? We must talk!

I love hearing what you are up to! You always have the best book recommendations for kids, too. Plus, we are like soul-twins and just about everything you write applies to me too. I LOVE the Lumineers and it has been my Pandora station for several weeks now. I think I already wore out the CD. Ditto on the sugar–busy days + little sleep + back problems = I “deserve” it mentality–> changing today. My son wants to do a “mud run” this month that I am trying to get ready for. Just what my tempermental back wants to hear. Good luck with yours–I’m sure you’ll be awesome! If you have any menu planning inspiration, please share–I could definitely use some.
Love seeing what you are up to! We are staying in SA for Spring Break too … our usual kitchen countdown chalkboard is now a spot for writing down ideas for Spring Break. We have a pretty long list going – let me know if you want to get together at all! Magik Theatre is doing Rapunzel and McNay is having free Spring Break activities that we did last year and the kids loved
