Y’all, whatever this sickness has been…it is the worst! I thought it was just a cold, but a few people said it sounds like influenza a, so who knows. All I know is it took me out for a whole week. Woof. I finally started to feel slightly better Thursday afternoon, but I’m still not back to normal. Hopefully by Saturday! Coop and I have gotten lots of playtime in in his massive playpen. This thing is a lifesaver.

We have also done a lot of this.

I call this the, ‘try and eat up everything random in your fridge and pantry’ lunch.

These two are never far from one another. Both Lu and Rhea do great with Coop, but Rhea sticks pretty close to him every day.

We have been getting lots of bike riding in, too. This kid loves to rock back and forth on his Strider.

Well, I did it. I signed up for my first ultra. Gulp. I am nervous, excited, and nervous. Did I mention I’m nervous? I have lots of work to do before this race. It’s not till June, so I have time. Here we go!

We were supposed to be in Little Rock today for a faculty retreat at my university. But because of all the terrible weather, they switched it to Zoom, so we are meeting virtually. Our retreat is from 8 to 1 today, so LOTS of Zoom time. My sister came over to hang with Coop while I’m in it. Each faculty member is meeting one-on-one with the people leading the retreat, so we get a little bit of downtime when it isn’t our turn, so that’s nice. I was the first to meet, so I’m free for a little bit.

This kid is already a Zoom master. He has been in on many Zoom meetings in his short life.

Working mom life – thankful for our tribe that helps make it all work! <3

Happy Friday, friends!
