Tom is a Head Coach this year and loving it—he’s always wanted to coach and now he’s getting the chance. He already knows most of the kids on the team since they’ve been on previous teams.
Owen’s first at bat got him on base! His second got a hit but it was a pop fly that got caught. He was part of a few double plays. He had three RBIs and we won 8-6!
And this was what Katie spent lots of time doing:
Today’s look for the first baseball game of the season and a trip into Chicago brought to you by Rosé Shimmer and Bella Shimmer eyes, Bella Shimmer cheeks, and Stella Gloss lips.
All of us moms have been fully vaccinated so decided a Cinco de Mayo get together was called for!
It was SOOOOOO great to feel somewhat back to normal!
Bella came to visit me on the couch. And stayed. And let me pet her.
I thought the kids would have fun with these cards. I was right. They had a blast playing War with Gramma!
This is the happy face of someone who got to sleep with the windows open last night, initially woke up around 5am to the smell of a pork butt on the smoker, fell back asleep until 8, and now smells something delicious coming from downstairs.
Anna always has a full vase on her island (sometimes fake, sometimes real) and I love it, so I bought a cool vase and bought a bouquet at Sam’s Club.
My mom, stepdad, me, and the kids are headed to Chicago today to check out the National Ukrainian Museum (we are part Ukrainian) so I felt I needed to wear something more than my typical Saturday garb of yoga pants and a hoodie.
I matched my eye colors to my shirt—two limited edition colors, Seafoam Shimmer (sadly, no longer available) and Sapphire Shimmer (happily, still available)! Not everyday colors but they definitely work with this!
This month has been my SeneVersary month (four years!) and I always have a big party in my group…and this year it got insane. INSANE. I couldn’t believe the amount of sales I was getting! And they kept coming.
And then at about 9:30 tonight I realized I was literally $91 away from a super crazy super stretch goal. So I never ask for help…but I did tonight. And three of my friends/clients jumped in to help…so…
SUPER DUPER STRETCH GOAL ACHIEVED: $8,000
Keep in mind that a normal month for me—my normal goal—is $1500. And a stretch goal is $2000. And I worry every month about making those goals—JUST like I did at the start of this month—so to hit $8,000 is simply unheard of. I’m still stunned.
I love my customers.

The PTA held another Among Us game night so off course the kids were totally excited! This picture was posted on the Facebook page!
And in case you can’t easily see them:
Tom texted me from the ball field asking for a sweatshirt for Owen so I had to enter the boys room. Yikes. It took a few minutes but I did find one.
Kids are weird. I have no idea why she wants to sleep under her drawing table.
My first post-haircut wash felt good but ohhh maaan is it short!
Have you ever found yourself doing something you absolutely love, but never imagined yourself doing?! I’m the poster child for this!
I had so much fun tonight watching my friends earn incredible awards for their businesses! And I also may or may not have felt a little jolt when my name hit the big screen each time. Out of around 1500 men and women, I was recognized for being #300 in the USA and #276 in the World for personal sales! Doing some math, that’s the top 20%!
I absolutely couldn’t do it without my amazing customers that have followed me and supported the past four years… and I look forward to many more years!
Getting old sucks. I woke up this morning with a familiar twinge in my lower back which told me I’d have to be careful or it would go out on me. So I was careful. I squatted at the knees, didn’t bend over, did my stretches. I sat at my desk, walked around Costco with Anna, and then we went on a walk. I felt fine. Then guess what happened midway through my walk? ZING! My back went out. I managed to make it back and drive home but now I’m sacked out on ice on the couch with Maggie. I took whatever drugs Tom gave me and crossed my fingers—we have another appointment today at 4 (not for my back) and I hope I can make it.
Anna and I joked upon walking in that we were here to spend $200 on stuff we didn’t need. Because, you know, that’s what happens.
We each got a cart because we’ve learned and by the time we got to the end, this is what both our carts looked like.
The freaky thing? Our totals were only $10 difference and we had totally different stuff in our carts! We joked that we really are the same person!
Except it wasn’t.
WOMP WAH.
Our contractor came over to check Tom’s work and there was a slight issue that had to be redone…so no shower yet.
She came to see me on the couch. There’s a first time for everything.
So I’m having minor effects from my second vaccine shot…nothing horrible, just a general malaise and feeling run down with a headache that will not go away. I’m trying to hydrate and rest as much as possible with Maggie on the couch. I think a nap is imminent, too.
So I told the kids they could watch a movie. They always have drama when picking one. So I told Katie to pick a bunch she wanted to see and then Owen would pick the one. Fine. Easy. Right?
Hahahaha. HAHAHAHA.
She reads her choices and Owen picks one. And Katie immediately says she doesn’t really want to watch that one.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME? So then Owen is annoyed at her and she’s annoyed because she has to watch a movie she said she wanted but then changed her mind about 60 seconds later??
So they’re both saying “FINE WHATEVER” to each other and I told Katie all this was unnecessary drama because she picked the movies and now she wanted to change things.
I just don’t have the energy for this.
