ET...and he's home.

It's a little bit of a blur.  Thursday afternoon the boys came home from school and worked on posters for Daddy.  They skipped football practice because they were too excited.   They must have asked a million times when we were going to leave for the...

Mother's Day Simple

It's Mother's Day.  I'm sitting on the couch wrapped in a nice blanket, drinking coffee.  It is cloudy and I am grateful because I got super sun burnt on Friday, then I overheated on Saturday watching the kids' football games.   I wore pants to cover...

No Crying in Baseball

Yesterday I was doing some things in my garage gym when I decided to test out a skill from a few months ago.  I was wearing an almost identical outfit, so I thought it would be cool to video it.

I did 2 strict toes to bar plus 1 strict pull-up.  Although far...

Build and Rebuild

Sorry you didn't hear from me over email this weekend.  I had a need to go off the grid.  Friday I did a huge mental celebration because I didn't have any events all weekend.  No obligations at all!

I really needed a little down time.  Nothing was wrong, I...

Winning

Just got back from CrossFit class.  I am sweaty and stinky and am going to go take a shower.  Feb 1 win.. haha. Jk I swear I showered last month more than just Jan 1.

There were rope climbs in the workout today.   I subbed them out for ring rows.  I can still...

Looking at the Ocean

I feel like I've been transported via space ship to a different world.

After Diesel's loss, I spent the day with the boys.  On such a hard day, I felt so much love from our family and friends.  Thank you to everyone that sent messages.  It meant and means...

Cold Cheeks

I am tired today and possibly starting to catch a cold.

I was going to go to CrossFit class this morning, but the boys are still asleep and I don't feel awesome.  I am going to listen to my body and do something a little less intense.

I've been thinking about moving my rowing...

Baby Bean Adventures

Yesterday's hike was amazing.  It was 3 miles round trip, of fairly flat, but snowy terrain.  The midpoint of the hike is a half circle at the base of a mountain with literal ice caves.   They are dangerous because ice shifts and collapses from time...

Sausage Hiker

I do not mean this in a self-deprecating way... currently, I am a sausage.

Ok...want me to say it in a better way?  I am currently a beautiful, sexy, strong pregnant woman who is stuffed in cold-weather compression pants and a compression turtle neck.

These pants were, by...

Bumping

I finally have a baby bump.   I woke up yesterday and it was there.

For those of you who haven't been pregnant or for my gentlemen readers, it feels kind of like having an insanely full bladder and then having it creep up your belly towards your belly button...and then beyond.

...

Backwards Brain

The tree removal people are coming today.  Finally!  The giant tree that blew over in the windstorm Friday night remains balanced against the shop/apartment.

They are going to cut it into pieces to get it down.  It takes finesse to not cause additional damage in the...

Color Blind

Do you look at Facebook or Instagram first thing when you wake up in the morning?

I do.  It isn't a habit I am proud of because I don't give myself a chance to really wake up before I let the world in.  I am quitting actually. No more checking social media first thing...
