Spent the weekend in Nashville at Madeline's first v-ball tournament. It was great except for that fact that she didn't even play due to her injured TOE. Hoping that boot comes off this week. Stayed with Joey & Kristina McCloskey (and Anna) -- it was fun, as always. Even with their focus on church and spirituality (that i don't really understand/appreciate), they are still our old friends. Anna and the girls get along well, except when they are arguing over who gets to be in charge.
I have gained some weight since Christmas -- my jeans are ridiculously tight. So, recommitted to eating better and tracking everything that goes in my mouth. this is so hard to do, but going to try. i hate tight jeans, i get grumpy all day and i am not willing to wear looser clothes. problem is they are so tight i don't even want to eat, which screws with my metabolism.
Olivia made me a little picture/message that said something like "you are the worst cook, but i love you anyway" -- nice. she is so darn picky and won't try anything new. i really don't like to cook at all, but i am trying. i keep thinking a cute little tv in the kitchen would help!
hard week at work this week, time for mid-year reviews. feel an obligation to really tell folks the truth about what they need to focus on. no more unicorns and rainbows -- i know these people can do the work, the tactical stuff, it's the soft things that they aren't good at. so, we'll see how it goes. i'm not too popular right now.
making reservations to talk Madeline to NYC in March for her birthday (over spring break) -- she doesn't want my mom to go with us (she is going) because she wants it to be just the two of us. hopefully, she will get over this. Not sure why, but she is all weepy about it.
whew
