Youngest (the creative thinker) came up with nicknames for the rest of us. The best she gets is that sometimes dh will call her by one of the names she made up for her sister or for him.

I would totally sign up for this. The men can take care of the children.

I’m still using the 2 wheeled carry on size bag that was dh’s before we got married, so it’s 20+ years old. I keep thinking I need to replace it, but it still works, even if it isn’t so nice looking anymore
This is me. I had a business trip to Germany 30 years ago and I spent $$ at a AAA travel store to get I think a Samsonite--skinny enough to trail me on an airplane aisle, fits in the overhead space. Just has 2 wheels, soft-sided, tips too easily, but it works so I haven't replaced it.
Dh's brother traveled with us once and then got us nice big check-in style bags which we've used a few times. Also Samsonite soft-sided. And I tend to hold on to things too, so even though we almost always use carry-on bags these days, these are still in the closet. My next bag will be a soft bag that fits under the seat--I'm tired of the threat of having to check my bag because overhead bins are full. And I'm almost always just traveling for a few days where a small bag works.

30 min on the treadmill this morning. I will head into school in a bit and get ready for Monday. One dd left yesterday, her sister will arrive on Monday (breaks didn't line up). So I don't mind working today if it will lighten up next week and allow me to visit with dd a bit more.

Fitbymik dumbbell workout this morning. Forgot to check that it was a standing dumbbell workout so I ended up on the floor which I try to avoid. I really can't do a sit up--mine were pretty ugly and I did about 1/3 of her count. Then I let my cat distract me out of the plank. Lots of rain here today. I have an airport run (~3-4 hours on the road) and I need to start doing some schoolwork. Most of my home project list has been checked off.

30 min on the treadmill this morning. I'm on spring break, so I can wait for dh to get up so I can use the treadmill and I can go the full 30 minutes. Lots of projects on the agenda.

I have khaki twill pants, light tan jeans, and darker tan jeans. With them I wear sand/tan Nike Blazer low tennies (my fave), low boots that are a neutral mushroom kind of color, black low boots, or tan flats I could wear but they're newer so I don't have as much history with them.

Day 25 of 30 Days of Yoga. We have a rainy day here today, but it's still nice to be on spring break. Nothing big planned which is fine with me. A new recliner gets delivered today. I want to get some things cleaned out around the house. Will do some schoolwork this week--plan the next units in both classes, grade all the tests in both classes, may go in one day to clean up my desk at school and make copies for the Monday we return. Spend some time with dd and see what she wants to do--maybe try to find the first Dune movie so we can go watch the second.

18 min on the treadmill this morning. Slept until my alarm again (a little late for me). Youngest comes home for a short break tonight.

Fitbymik dumbbell workout. And the last move was putting my weights away in the other room (toe is healing well, still a bit of red/purple).

I was also remembering nmoira and homeschool dad. I still make nmoira's peanut butter chocolate chip muffins. I don't remember if it was one of the infamous threads, but it was one where she posted to I think lighten the mood in a tense thread.

15 min fitbymik cardio today. I slept until my alarm and had to make my lunch so I'm short on time.

My reading glasses are essential--I can't read receipts I'm signing without them. I keep my school ID/lanyard in there so I never arrive at school without it somehow. Wallet, phone, keys, 2 checkbooks (I'm old), pack of gum. The one thing I haven't seen mentioned yet is sample-size mascara and eyeliner. Every once in awhile I get to school and realize I forgot to put on makeup. If my coworker says, "you look tired today" I realize what happened and put on eye makeup.

Day 24 of 30 Days of Yoga. My middle toe is a nice deep red bruise color from kicking the weight the other night. Always put your weights away.

I don't know the brand, but we got the kind that the mouse walks in and the door closes. Armed it with peanut butter. Dh then drives mousie far away and releases it. We did this at two different times in the last 30 years and learned if you see one mouse, there are 10 more hiding. We caught about 10, one at a time, and then no more mousies.

20 min fitbymik cardio this morning. My weights were out on the floor last night--not because they are used frequently but because I never put them away Thursday. I accidentally kicked one and have some sore toes now.

Thanks for posting! Wildlife in the backyard here would be squirrels. We see deer crossing streets in town often enough, also wild turkeys. Opposums we're mostly likely to see as roadkill. Raccoons are around too. No koalas, roos, or wallabies!

I probably started in 2004 or 2005, prepping for dd's kindergarten year starting September 2005. But I read a lot more than I posted those early years, so it would take awhile to find me.

Also, I've been eyeing some ruck plates. I've been hearing about this for a while but haven't taken the plunge, but yesterday I was listening to a podcast and they were talking about how rucking helps with bone density for women and I'm sold. I'm buying plates this weekend!
All right, I had to google ruck plates. Watched a Goruck YouTube video. My brothers were onto this idea decades ago when I was about 12 and bragged about how much weight I could carry in my backpack on a backpack trip (our family vacations were always week-long backpacking trips in the Sierras). So they kept hiding large rocks in my backpack that I wouldn't find until the day was done and we reached our campsite.
Day 23 of 30 Days of Yoga done. We have some sunny days now and eventually it will warm up. Yesterday started in the 30's but it was over 70 when I picked up dd at 4:00. More of the same for the next few days--definitely want to get outside this weekend.
