Well I Say Now

What a day.

Girls were off school today (because parent-teacher conferences).

I met with C's teacher in the morning (all good there) then worked like papa Karlo (as my father would have said). Meaning - it was a very intense day of work. Good news: I finished all my hot projects that need to go to clients tomorrow. I am done!

C and I will be going to Washington DC for our first overnight mom-and-kid trip! We are both so excited. She is all packed. I will be packing when I get home from rock climbing (no, I am not rock climbing - the pigs are not flying yet - but H has her weekly lesson and I am catching up on email and blogging while she climbs).

The weather is going to be iffy and I don't know what jacket to bring. Winter jacket might be too warm. Leather jacket is too heavy and bulky. Vest - not warm enough. Fleece - meh, but maybe. Definitely will bring a light rain jacket.

This was a bit of a rough week... I might have to sit down and write a post about our awful Monday evening (kid stuff, lot of tears and drama) and an even worse Tuesday afternoon (I was 40 minutes late to pick up one of the kids from track practice - the one who caused drama and stuff on Monday evening). Sigh.

  1. Write that post! It helps me put it out on the Internets when things go south (remember how I yelled so loud that I literally scared myself??) I will never forget that... Still feeling guilty that was like a month ago.

    Rock climbing?? I'd love to sign my oldest up. How old is H?
    Oh and mommy-kid trip is gonna be amazing!

    1. H is 13 and she loves rock climbing! She says she likes it better than gymnastics because it's more laid-back and relaxed. There are kids as young as 7-8 taking lessons in the intermediate group, and I think there is also a beginners option for younger kids.

      There is a sign in the gym: "Walls are for climbing!" - that's when I knew this was a perfect fit for H (who would be literally climbing walls at home, shimmying up in the hallway).
