Juggling Two Jobs, End of Summer Fun & Corcoran Country Concert!

Weekdays:
  • Monday - Vi and Maci were still asleep when I left into work.  I had a busy day with some org changes/announcements for my current role while also starting to get pulled into calls for my future gig.  It was a good day of juggling and getting situated.  While I was at the office, Clint had an electrician come hang our new skylight calendar which is already organizing our lives so amazingly!  In the evening, Clint, Maci and I joined a virtual TFE soccer parent/kid meeting with their new coach, Julian.  This is going to be a transition but exciting one for our killer midfielder!
  • Tuesday - Maci went over to her pal from Fusion soccer, Taylor’s house and then did some swimming at LifeTime Fitness.  That evening, Clint went to pick her up and played Bourbon with her dad, Paul.  By the time Maci got home, she looked like she hadn’t slept in days - slumber parties and long days swimming will do that HA.
  • Wednesday - I had a busy day at work with an entire morning talent session for Tech but dang if we didn’t crush it!  Probably the best one ever and so fortunate for that to be the last one I will do with his group - bittersweet!  Maci had soccer training in the afternoon.  Then we had a free evening which means I caught up on emails on the deck - dang just a little busy juggling a few jobs ;-)
Grace is House Sitting
I guess there was a snake YIKES

  • Thursday - Maci had gymnastics in the morning.  Then Lucy, another Fusion pal, came over to play with Maci.  They went shopping at the mall with Connor and Grace.  I guess Connor hated it b/c all the stores the girls wanted to go to were boring - likely.  Clint treated him to some baseball batting cages in the evening to make up for a girlie day.
Friday:
  • Busy Friday of trying to get things done and then the damn internet went down at 830a and was down until after we left to dinner at night!  Lots of curse words said by me and the neighbors who were also working from home and down.  Thankfully I could get some things done with a hot spot.
  • That night we went to dinner at Rock Elm with the Harty’s and Herness’ crew before heading to night 1 of Corcoran Country days.
  • Maci was our sitter, ahhh this is so nice for her to be big enough to manage a few hours solo.
  • We had a blast at the concert and maybe had a bit too much to drink but dang if it wasn’t fun!
  • Best story was when I went to the port o potty and after stepping out quickly realized, wait where is my phone.  It wasn’t in my pocket, purse etc.  So I go right back to my stall waiting for someone to come out.  When she does she is like 16 and talking on my phone.  She says “oh good, I am on your phone with your mom” Oh goodness it is like 11p Central Time so my mom just got called late for her HAHA. I also bet the girl wasn’t thinking she was calling a 71 year old woman in Ohio.  Needless to say my mom thought these kind of calls were done for her 41 year old daughter HAHA. All our friends had a great laugh and went back to jamming at the concert to Dylan Scott!
We loved this rainbow



Night Time Fun


Clint and I had a great time


Saturday :
  • No rest for the weary.  Connor was playing in a 3v3 basketball tournament.  They had game one at 845a.  Unfortunately they lost all 3 and didn’t make it to the championship.  It was close but 1 of the kids didn’t really want to play and Connor kept getting too emotionally annoyed by it all.  We were finally out of there around 11a and headed to Applebees for lunch.
  • After lunch, we came home for naps!!!!  Much needed naps after night one of concerts.
  • Maci’s soccer training was cancelled so that gave us even more rest time.
  • At 5p, we were back at it.  Anya came to watch Connor b/c Maci was off to her pal Isla’s birthday/slumber party.  We ran her over there and then met up with Mike and Kim Kuhn for Mike’s birthday dinner at River Inn.
  • After dinner, we were off to the concert again.  I was doing great until I wasnt.  The fireworks started right before the main act and I felt clammy, had a horrible headache and just wanted to be in bed.  So Clint and I gave up on the main act, came home by 10p and crashed!  Maybe we can make both next year HAHA
Ran into Kay from my team


Sunday:
  • Slow morning on the deck with coffee and thankfully I was feeling great!
  • I had to run and get Maci from Isla’s around 1030a
  • We then ran to the nail salon together for my every 3 week nail fill in and Maci of course cons me into a pedicure for her ;-)
  • We ran home and got Connor all packed for his buddy Chuck’s birthday party at Great Wolf Lodge.  Clint will run to pick him up around 630p since only the family is spending the night.
  • I got all my to dos rocking around the house and then Clint ran Maci to Vi’s house for a sleepover there.  All the sleepovers and birthday parties I tell ya!  Blessed to have kiddos with such great friends but dang if we don’t run around HAHA
  • I’m now getting all my laundry folded, work prepared, about to eat some burnt pork tips that Clint smoked all day YUM!  Maci is going to miss out since she is sleeping away but Connor can enjoy when he gets home with us.
Maci braided my hair while they did my nails

Goofs at Great Wolf Lodge

So much back to school prep starts this week and Miss M gets to move into her Middle School Locker - oh goodness!!!  We are also done with quiet evenings - TFE soccer, flag football and Fall baseball all kick back up - but we love it!

Lots of Love,
C, K, M & C
