What a difference a week makes.....

What a great, fun, exciting, fantastic day!!!!! I had my 1st of the year, formal observation, this morning and my kiddos did GREAT!! We ordered lunch, as a staff, from Chick-Fil-A to support the Sherrill family!!! Almost cleared my to-do list today (it will be clear tomorrow)!!! Went to Bryson's game to find Brooks waiting for us with a new Vera Bradley pocketbook!!! Bryson scored, his proud mommy, a GOAL and I don't think I have ever been more excited!!! It's pizza night with the Deane's!!! And Teen Mom at 10!!! WOW! Look what a week can do!

I am going to make it short and sweet today.....I am so glad that we are a week beyond this sad time in our lives. I have realized with everyday that goes by, I become a little stronger. Although there are still a few times that I have caught myself questioning and wondering why, I just have to keep moving because time is the only thing that is going to make this sad time fade. Very thankful and grateful for a fantastic day and hopeful that the week will continue in the same way :) Thanks for everything and we love you lots!!!

a coach’s wife.

post #4 of #6 for the 2023 year. this topic is going to be touchy, not well received-i am certain by some-and possibly controversial. thats your warning.... i make blog posts for an outlet, started 13 years ago as a healing outlet, lead to a sharing outlet, has dwindled over the years, but the purpose has ALWAYS been the same...an outlet. i want to start this one with a few pieces of background knowledge 1-because i am not new to this rodeo and 2-because i have learned over the years and reflected on situations that lead me to believe i have decent knowledge of this topic .. i am mostly a soccer mom...also a tennis mom and a cheer mom, but mostly a soccer mom (no secret in that), but before i was that. i was AND still am a coach’s wife. you see brooks has coached longer than we have been married. he has coached for 20 years.....20 STRAIGHT years....its not like here or there or a fill in, its not like a season a year, its like multiple seasons a year, multiple te...

My relationship with running....

Running has never been my friend, never been something I LONG to do....honestly it annoys me greatly...I saw a girl at a 5k with a shirt that said, "I hate running".....I laughed and thought how perfect that shirt would be for me! I registered for the Disney 1/2 marathon for January.....I saw several people running 1/2s and full marathons several months back and it gave me the urge to want to set that as a goal....I have only, EVER, run 5ks and I don't do those very well. I have learned through this running journey that when it comes to exercise I am mentally WEAK! I decided that if I was going to torture myself with one of the top 5 ranked goals of my life thus far....it was going to be in a place worth a celebration in the end....so I searched tropical locations and Disney....I soon learned races are way more pricey than local 5ks and if I was going to commit I wanted the kids to get some fun out of it too....so I pondered and waited until registration opened in April...

PSA----your meter box!

all thats left of the old box! happy thursday..... 2 posts in 1 week, i may just become an influencer before the summer is over------haha! i do wish i knew influencing people with your own words would make you a paycheck 11 years ago when i started this blog, but i was a little too early to the game.... now onto why i am here again this week..... over the last year-ish our lights in the house would flicker off and on randomly----never knew when, didn't last long and honestly (clearly) we blew it off. i did look it up a few times when it was really annoying and found, maybe its a bad bulb, maybe a factory close by sucking all the power (we do have a factory or 2 near by, so we ignored). then fall-ish our 6 year old LG (pretty expensive) fridge started freezing up. so we would have to take everything out and put the hairdryer in it to solve the issue of thawing out, then it would stop for a while and then randomly do it again----we have babied it to avoid buying a new thousand...
