- Monday - Busy work day for both of us being back in the swing post holiday. Maci had practice at 5p again so Clint had to pick her up from school. I grabbed her from the dome on my way home from work. Then Clint and Connor were off to Connor's basketball practice from 645-815p.
- Tuesday - Good productive day followed by Happy Hour/Dinner with two of my dear friends/former co-workers Megan and Lisa. Lisa had just gotten laid off from Cargill so now none of us work there after ~20 years. We had a lot of good laughs around the table! I then hustled out of there to get Maci from her Infiniti soccer & performance training. Clint had taken her at 630p and I got her at 830p. While we were doing soccer, Clint and Connor went to the Wayzata first home basketball varsity game - a nice W!
So many memories with these gals!
Top Left was Tuesday but you can see pics of us as babies over the years in the other squares
- Wednesday - I was dialing in to our Investor Conference on my way into work when I got a text that will forever stick with me. Our company was about to launch into our annual conference when our UHC CEO had been assassinated outside his hotel in NYC. I was shocked and numb but hauled in to the office to be with others. It was a day of sadness, shock, surprise and disgust. The entire plan for the day was scrapped and we all supported each other in whatever that looked like. The rest of the week was a bit off as well, especially as the court of popular opinion was stating massive lies about our company in social media etc. A man's life was taken, his kids lost a father - tragic! I went to have some drinks with a few colleagues afterward as we all needed to take our mind off the crazy day. Maci hung at home and Clint/Connor went to Basketball practice from 630-800p.
- Thursday - Connor had his annual book fair at school - got a book, poster and book mark! Maci had another 5p soccer practice so Clint got her from school and I grabbed her on the way home. It was another odd day so I went to bed early to sleep it off. Connor and Clint headed to a pitching clinic for Connor at the middle school dome at 8p.
Friday :
- Got caught up on some work after a crazy few days.
- I met up with a former colleague/friend, Lauren, for lunch and that was a wonderful distraction.
- That night, Clint and Connor headed to a suite with buddies for the WWE event - Connor loved it. Clint didnt take any pics, even with my request, so I am waiting on the few moms that went to send me some. Even without pics, I have heard from Connor how awesome it was!
- While they were off doing that, Maci did the 2 hour Friday night open soccer fun. I dropped her off, got some work/home planning/gift wrapping done and then went back to get her.
- Clint and Connor got home a little after 10p while Maci and I were each watching our own TV shows.
Saturday :
- I started my day with a 8a massage - while I hate waking up to an alarm, it was a nice way to start my day.
- I hustled home and we were off to Connor's first basketball game in St Paul - 11a. Game 1 was against a team that hadnt lost yet but we gave them a 2 point L which our boys had to fight back into the game to secure!
- We ate at Wild Boar as a team and the boys played claw machine.
- We then hustled back for Game 2 at 2p. We held our own all game but unfortunately lost the lead by 1 point with about 45 seconds left. We had an inbound play, Connor got the ball, put it up and it bounced bounced bounced but rattled out. Our tall guy rebounded but passed it out to a friend. That friend threw it up but missed and the time ran out - we lost by 1 UGH! We went from the high to the low.
- Connor played so tough, he ripped 3 holes in his tights under his uniform shorts from rolling on the ground for loose balls.
- We headed home and all ran to our beds for naps once home. It was already 4p when we got home and Maci's pal Kate was coming over at 5p for a sleep over.
- Clint and I were going to go out to eat at 6p but I was dead! We cancelled our reservation and hung at home with college football instead.

Sunday :
- I ordered donuts for breakfast
- Kate left around 945a - they are so great with their sleepovers, barely notice they are here.
- We got some more wrapping complete.
- I got caught up on any news updates for our UHC situation.
- Kids got homework done, we ate some lunch and Maci was off to her friend Harper's house for a Secret Santa name swap. She hung there from 1-4p while we watched Clint's Dolphins pull out the W in OT.
- Clint picked up Maci while I folded laundry.
- Now we have put away groceries, are finishing laundry and getting ready to leave the house around 630p for Maci's 8p soccer game tonight. We are playing Park Valley and hope to pull out a W.
We are getting super excited for the holiday season, down time together and a quick trip to Ohio. We hope you are also finding the joy in the holiday timeframe.
Lots of Love,
C, K, M & C
