Lots Going On

There is a lot of stuff going on for us in the next couple of weeks. It's probably not that much for most normal, capable people. But we all know I am neither normal nor capable. Here is the goings-on list:

  • Run the Rock 'n' Roll Half-Marathon in D.C. tomorrow
  • Help with the move of my in-laws to Arizona
  • Celebrate Rhett's birthday five times (extended family dinner, preschool, babysitter, immediate family, babysitting group)
  • Go on a mini-vacation to Janes Island State Park
All good things, but still...lots of things.

As if I don't have enough things running through my head, Natalie tells me that I should write a stats book on being a mom. I've been thinking about it ever since. Here's my latest entry:


Or, if Venn diagrams are more your thing:

Maths in the Real World, Version 2.0

Nearly four years ago, I wrote a post that I could have written now. Of course I'd have to substitute each "Rhett" with "Ollie," but otherwise I feel the same. These teen baby months are really hard for me. These little people want so many things, but don't know how to communicate it. Everyone gets frustrated. So here's the updated Ollie graph of how easy he is (which looks a lot like the Rhett graph from years ago):


But look at that uptick: I think the end is near! Ollie is just starting to turn that corner from ridiculously hard to ridiculously cute...and ridiculously gross. But I am ridiculously excited.


P.S. Speaking of maths...don't forget that Thursday is Pi Day. Because I'm overwhelmed with everything else going on, I'm opting for this super easy, but totally yummy, Oreo pie. Only two years until our totally awesome Pi Day Celebration!

P.P.S Don't you just love how the British call it "maths" and just not "math?" I do. Obviously.
