1. You guys. Mostly, I am driving. OVER 300 MILES A WEEK, it turns out. To middle school. From middle school to diving practice. To campus. To the dance studio. To nursery school. HOME FROM ALL OF THOSE PLACES. Except for this first picture, I have been wearing real clothes and doing my hair and makeup before I leave the house. SO BANANAS.
2. Cleaning up after my whirling dervish preschooler. Also? I love having her easel in the kitchen because when I pick her up from school, she can paint while I make dinner at 1pm because it is the only freaking time all freaking day that I have half a freaking second to make freaking dinner.
4. Getting my COVID cavities all caught up. I HAVE BEEN NUMB FOR HOURS while I write this post, and this is the best smile I got. OMG.
5. Watching my lovely, brilliant TAs teach their classes-- this is a really fun part of my job, to be sure, but it is pretty much all the work I am getting done right now. Tis the season! I HAVE TO VISIT 64 CLASSES, and I have decided to knock it all out by 10/12. Phew!!
What are
you doing that's keeping you away from the blogosphere?
Oh wow, you are so busy. I mean, I knew you were but OMG YOU ARE BUSY.
ReplyDeleteSO BUSY. My goodness.
DeleteThat's A LOT of miles, Sarah. But your kids have such exciting, wonderful lives and it makes my heart swell to see Minnie working at her art station.
ReplyDeleteI could NOT keep up this pace, but it seems to work well for you and I love how you so genuinely love being both a mom and a employee! Most people aren't able to throw themselves into both arenas which such enthusiasm - gold stars, my friend <3
I feel like I did not think it all the way through when I had all of these children
DeleteAwwww, look at that sweet kiddo asleep in the car. I love a good sleeping car baby.
ReplyDeleteSo much driving.
And WOW - 64 class visits by 10/12! That is an awesome goal!
You are a superstar!
Many audio books (when the car is kid-free **whomp whomp**)
DeleteThat is a lot of driving. I don't mind driving when the weather is fine, though, because audiobooks and podcasts are life! I don't envy you those miles when the snow comes, though!
ReplyDeleteI HATE driving in the snooooooooow
Delete64 class visits in under two weeks?!? OMG, you superstar! That sleeping Minnie picture is adorbs infinity and your post cavity pic is pretty lols (I hope it didn't hurt though!).
ReplyDeleteI started a couple of weeks ago-- so more like 4 weeks LOL
DeleteGosh, that is indeed a lot of miles! (Trying to comment anonymously since I can’t log into Google…this is J from jellyjules.com) I’m glad you have your audiobooks to keep you company.
ReplyDeletesooooo many miiiiiiiles
Delete64 CLASSES??? That is so much observing! Is that typical? How many TAs do you have? Oof.
ReplyDeleteUgh, cavities. I had one drilled in august and then my mouth hurt for weeks. It's finally back to normal. I have terrible genetics when it comes to cavities. My husband has ZERO cavities. I hope my kids got his genes. Although I serve as an excellent cautionary tale. When they don't want to brush their teeth, I show them mommy's mouthful of cavities (which I don't think I brought on by not brushing but they don't need to know that...)
it's a TON of classes. I have over 30 TAs
