This & That....

Last week I saw that my mom re-subscribed to o ur newsletter. I think she thought she had missed posts. NOPE. I am just struggling to adjust to the summer schedule and managing my kids’ 4 very conflicting schedules. (Not to mention a puppy that has either forgotten his name or is just the worst listener known to man!) 

Writing has always been my outlet….as has running. Both have fallen to the wayside as I try to keep my humans (and canines) alive.

On top of a chaotic household, my hormones have been giving me a run for my money again. We finally did some blood work a few weeks ago and made some adjustments, and I am cautiously optimistic that I am feeling a bit more like myself….but I just have not felt well. I mean, I know I am a worrier. I am a master of catastrophizing. Like I wish it were an olympic event cause I would be the gold medalist of all gold medalist. But lately, I literally exhaust myself with worst case scenarios. And I have developed a very serious fear of being stuck in traffic. I hate it. And traffic has been TERRIBLE around here. And once again, I digress - what was I even writing about?

Usually summer, and specifically summer swim make me so happy. But this year is a little different. Lil is not coaching at all. Izzy wasn’t planning to coach but is pinch hitting when she can to help out cause one of our head coaches, who has been affiliated with the team since she was a kid- is battling cancer. BATTLING CANCER. She is 29. She was a healthy vibrant teacher/coach who truly cares about every one of her swimmers and students. Now she gets wigs to match our meet themes, is outside in this heat all day every day and still gives 110% to our team. She is a rockstar.  

So what is my point. My point is I NEED TO GET MY ACT TOGETHER AND STOP COMPLAINING SO MUCH. Cause so many people have it worse.  And I admire Coach Kat, cause she is being a really good example for so many kids. She is showing us all that attitude is everything.  Even as she fights a tough battle- she is showing up for our kids.

So my blog might be intermittent this summer….but I am here- and hopefully will bake up until the end of July when we will do some traveling.  And I have been getting a lot of special order requests- just a reminder that I do have minimum quantities requirements unless I can just add the item to our weekly menu. So if possible, a few weeks notice is super helpful!

Hope you all are doing well!
