Hello Monday (February 6, 2023)

 

 

It was a much busier week last week and I was there for it- business and productivity feed my soul!  So by Friday night, I was toast...grateful but toast...anyway I rallied!

 

Before I get to the weekend, someome came home after school with a Kindness Award for her Responsibility- so proud! :)  Go Pidge!

 

Friday Night

We braved the frigid temps here (17 below zero!) and headed to Diana's very first show at WHS.  She was in a one act play directed by a senior student.  The play was called "A Reason To Live" and she played Suzy (a Mom).  We really enjoyed it and were so happy that Diana felt it was an amazing experience and learning opportunity- her first foray into dramatic acting.  We are also grateful for the theater community at the high school- the kids are so supportive of each other!

Saturday

We were up bright and early and again braved the frigid temps.  Same Remi...same ;)

 

 

Starbucks had a burst pipe so we headed to Dunks instead and then I dropped Diana at dance.  She was going to be there all day- classes in the morning and YAGP rehearsals all afternoon then she was headed to her dance friend's house and later on they were headed to the rest of the one act shows at WHS.

I binged "Partner Track"  and LOVED it- even got to spot our family friend Wes as an extra!

Then it was time for Eva's basketball game- they lost but it was an exciting game!

My parents took off for Florida for the month of February and my brother and I were getting many texts about all of their delays due to the crazy cold!

Later on, Eva's dance and theater pal Lennon, came over for a play date.  We finished the play date with a fun dinner at The Chateau in nearby Andover.  The kids had a ball

I loved bumping into one of my fave guys from town. We served as President and VP of the Windham Wolverines for a few years and had so much fun.  We agreed that when all is said and done, what's most important are the relationships and the friendships you make for sure!

Sunday

We divided and conquered.  Rob took Eva to her softball workouts.  I headed to mass with Papa and then a Family Faith meeting.  I then picked up some birthday treats for Harry so the girls could celebrate him during their YAGP rehearsals which lasted all afternoon.

Eva and I made her Valentine box for school.  This week we will tackle making out her valentines.  Diana is even doing valentines for her WHS Chorus friends- guess it's a thing and they all have valentine boxes waiting to be filled- so cute

Rob and Eva headed to a late hockey game and after I got organized for the week, I crashed for a bit and decompressed.

We are ready to rock another week!  How about you?  What were you up to?

Hi Friends!  So fun to join in with Jennifer and her currently link up!

This month we are answering what we are: LOVING, FEELING, POSTING, RECEIVING and SEEING

Here we go!

 

 

Loving

 

 Pics of My Girls

Eva's teacher took pictures during Immigration Day- can you tell she is having fun?  Ha!

and unbeknownst to me, there was a professional photographer at the "Move 4 The Movement" Event that Diana danced at a few weeks ago.  I was looking through the pics and loved this one and ordered it- here is the proof :)

 

Feeling

 

Cold...from the weather this week AND all of the water I am drinking...brrr!  (4 of these every day plus a seltzer or two- getting in over 130 ounces every day.) How many more days until spring?

Posting

This currently post- ha!  Professionally, though, I try to post on Linked In every Tuesday.  Tuesdays get the most hits and I either post some jobs I am working on or a relative article to the HR community.  It is good for my brand and to stay relevant in the marketplace. 

Receiving

Our numbers from our 2022 Blackout fundraising efforts and our town raised over $30,000!  So proud.  Project Blackout, as a whole, raised over $60,000.  Those funds will go directly to Pediatric Cancer Research and Funding.

Seeing

Diana's first WHS play on Friday Night- can't wait!  She is in a Senior Student Directed 1 Act Play called "A Reason To Live."  She is playing the mom and we are excited to see how much this stretched her and started to teach her about dramatic acting.

What is new with YOU currently? :)
