Sometimes They Surprise Me…

Things are crazy as usual around here.  We are always, always, always on the go.  I have been doing pretty good with not complaining, and I have to say it feels pretty amazing.  No one needs that kind of negativity in their lives, and I don’t miss spreading misery.

As you know, I write shit down.  If I didn’t, we would all be lost.  Seriously.  I am the keeper of the calendar.  The meal planner.  The schedule monitor.  We have a lot of moving pieces in our family, and I use what tools are necessary to keep us on track.

I am always thinking and planning ahead…. how are we going to get one kid here for practice, the other up to a tournament?  Who is going to pick them up?  Drop them off?  Be home for dinner?  Plans are just plans, and they are thankfully VERY flexible – but I like to have a plan….

The meal calendar we have on our dining room wall, I update every Sunday.  Usually the end of the week and Saturday are spur of the moment (unless we have an occasion) – so I don’t usually plan much – but I also use it to write plans if we aren’t going to be home… more importantly, if I am not going to be home to cook dinner.

This week, I spied the cutest little update to the Menu board.  I don’t know for sure which little added it (I have my guess), but it sure made me smile & damn thankful for these amazing little humans we are raising….

Crazy, passionate, creative, and extremely flawed mother of teen twin boys. Far from perfect, but always able to laugh at myself... I am Marketing Project Manager for an absolutely AMAZING produce company by day (while facilitating distance learning for the kids).... and an exhausted mom, all the time.
