Monday! - Last Day for Seniors!

How was your weekend??

Mine was good.  Friday night I made homemade pizza, which I haven't done in a while.  I like making my own dough, etc.  Then had game night with friends.  

Saturday was big in the Cal house!  My youngest FINALLY hit it out of the park and got a home run.  He's been SO CLOSE so many times.  He was SO excited!!!

 

Yesterday I made all of my banana bread loaves (22) and then went to another ball game.  

Productive weekend. 

What about you??  Lots going on this week!  Going to be fun!

Feel Good Friday

Happy Friday!  
This is sort of it, right?  The last "official" Friday of the school year?  

What are you feeling good about today?  What do you have going on this weekend?

Baseball, yard work, running downtown to buy water taxi tickets, more baseball, homemade pizza on the grill, and some other stuff....

Travel Tuesday

Are you planning to go anywhere this summer?  What's on your agenda?  

Our summer road trip is baseball-centered this year.  We're heading to Sandusky for a tournament, so we'll do some other things while out that way.  

I have tickets to a Cardials game on 6/18, so we'll head down to St. Louis for that.

We're also going to do a few college visits.  Butler (Indy), Western Michigan (Kalamazoo) are a couple that are for sure on the list. 

That's about it...
We have a family wedding in South Carolina over Labor Day weekend, but that's already into next school year, and we're likely headed back down to Nashville for another couples weeked.  So..while there are no BIG trips on the agenda, there are enough little ones to get us by!

How about you?  Are you headed anywhere this summer?  Lake house?  Camp?  Grandma's?

Tuesday - Own it.

What's NOT your best quality?  It's time to own it.

For me, it's easy.  While I like to believe I'm pretty laid back, there is a constant running agenda going on in the back of my head of what needs to be done, what I'm doing, etc.   When something doesn't go according to my plan....that's it.....fight me.  I'm IMMEDIATELY annoyed.  I know this is not one of my finer qualities.  My family reminds me of it every time that ray of sunshine comes out.

I'll explain my exhibit A in class.

How about you? 

Motivational Monday...We CAN do it!!!!

Alright....we CAN do it.  I know we can.  That paper chain is getting shorter and shorter and my motivation is getting weaker and weaker.  May is a hard time to keep your head above water.  There is so much going on, so many end-of-year activities, so many things to keep track of...and then the weather starts to get nice, so it's another distraction!

OK....focus.  We can finish strong (or at least make it look like we are..haha!)

How was your weekend? Mine was super busy.  I feel like I just walked out of here on Friday.  
Highlights....
I made churro cupcakes on Friday night for the neighborhood fiesta on Saturday.  I was pretty
impressed!

Saturday was Pitch, Hit, and Run day for Homewood Baseball.  My son won 3 of the four events for his age group, so he gets to move on to the sectional competition this coming Saturday.  Ultimate winner gets to go to Cleveland for the All Star Game.  Super Cool!  

We went to the pancake breakfast AND the fiesta yesterday.  If you had anything to do with either of those events, I thought it was great!  Nice Job!

How about you?  How was your weekend?

Feel Good Friday!!!

Holy Hell! It's been a week!  And I'm SO glad it's OVER!

Lots to feel good about today....

• It appears the sun is shining in what seems like the first time in a month.
• My knee is feeling a bit better, so I can maybe do some things around my house.
• Play some baseball!  I don't think we could have endured another day of cancelled games in the Cal house.  That would have put everyone right over the edge.  This has been A LOT of family time!
• It seems things are possibly getting back to normal in the HoFlo. (Homewood Flossmoor area)  It's been a difficult week for so many people I'm close to, and I'm so thankful things are simmering down on that front.
• I'm a celebrater and this weekend is always just about more than I can handle.  Star Wars Day, The Kentucky Derby, AND Cinco de Mayo.  It's just too much!  
• Lots going on this weekend
