The Odyssey was really fun (note: A/G stayed home. A dislikes action movies/violence and G is definitely not ready for this kind of movie yet. C did go though and enjoyed it).
Anyway! I feel like August is off to a very promising start. We had a sushi dinner with Josh’s dad after the movie and the day was generally chill and fun.
TODAY however I have to face up to our mild disaster of a house, lack of clean laundry, empty fridge, un-audited YNAB, and more. I do have pilates but beyond that plan on dedicating the day to a Sunday reset because it is TIME.
I am on call next week! Reflecting on my upcoming schedule, I have 3 weeks of call left in 2026 and 2/3 are during weeks when the kids are not in school. I actually think this is IDEAL, because part of what makes call so challenging is having to stick to early drop-offs and late night pickups when I’m also having unpredictability in my sleep/evenings.
So, yay.
MY UNREALISTIC TO DO LIST:

Haha. If I complete 50-75% of the above we’ll call it a win!
UPDATE:
I wrote this post this morning and realized it never posted! Ahh well. Thus far, it has actually been a shockingly productive day. I went to Pilates and on a walk with A.
The Laundry Festival was mostly completed by Josh, but I got groceries, did a meal plan, ordered Sephora (okay not every task was that hard, ha), texted my SIL about dinner, updated the BLP Live workbook, did my show notes/course page update and put the week on the board.
I suppose I will have to delve into YNAB. (We ate lunch late, so perhaps I can even get done before dinner . . .)

BONUS ITEMS:
A (not me) made both these pb energy balls AND the egg bites (those with her friend)!! AND she helped me organize the hall closet.

I love the phrase “laundry festival”!
Ha ha, I also like “laundry festival.” Nice reframe there! And the fact that Josh did laundry is encouraging! He’s up and about!
Those energy balls look really good. I love Nora- her recipes never fail us.
Saw nails on your list. I highly recommend the Essie gel polish even for a regular manicure. I am going on day 10 and no chips!
