Not sure I did that successfully back when I was knee deep in diapers and loading kids in the middle of dinner to drive Lad to basketball. <br /><br />Spring is on the way and that will save me, because Coach will grill more. I make a big vat of a protein shake about once a week or once every 5 days. I keep it in the fridge and stir it up in the morning before I pour it. I admit that the mornings when I am out, I feel quite bummed at the inconvenience of having to whip one up. I like my rosary podcast. The podcast suggested a book the other day and I think it was called Fatima Today, or something. I'm thinking about getting a copy of that to add to my Lenten journey. Um, not gonna lie - basketball winding down (after we go to state on Friday! Hello! Such a big deal), should give me a big part of my life back. I will miss parts of it. Just in time to switching up my focus: college choices and spring sports (less exhausting).

We met years ago at the church where Nick was the music director at the time. We've since moved on to a different parish and don't see each other very often, so I appreciate even more when we get to "see" each other each week for a period of time. We've all invited other friends to join various studies over the years so it's not a fixed group -- we'd LOVE to have you join the next time we do one virtually, if you're interested!

And them driving themselves!!

The Endow studies look wonderful, I need to make some more friends so I can do that :) My parish has a book study typically each Advent and Lent but I don't always love the book choice, plus reading it beforehand sometimes doesn't happen, so this sounds great. My fave protein shakes are expensive but super easy to grab, so I support your habit.Colleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11451797365712728579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2969404947118156026.post-43233614329922824152024-02-22T09:15:30.898-05:002024-02-22T09:15:30.898-05:00This looks like a fun party.

I laughed at the taco mess on the floor that happened in the blink of an eye. Isn't it amazing how fast big messes materialize? We haven't made it up till midnight in a few years. It was such a bummer, when in years past when we were ready to go to bed before midnight but had to go pick up kids at their social engagements. When I think about it, that wasn't an issue specific to NYE. It was so nice when they started to drive.
