blah.

I was quite sad to see it had been a week since I last posted. I know life has been slow and I haven't really had much to post about. But a whole week of nothin'?!!

And today I am feeling quite blah.

• Emily spent 30 minutes in my van, crying because she didn't want to go to school. I, of course, was still in pajamas and didn't really feel like I could walk her in to class looking the way I did.
• Kelly and I aren't communicating. Mostly my fault, which I hate about myself but can't let go of either.
• All my things are packed, making the days with just Ethan home seem wasted...

But my week hasn't really been like this. I decided I should post a few of the good things that happened this week to try and get rid of today's blahs and put me in a better place for the long weekend with kids (smiling but grimacing slightly).

• I got to eat caramel fondue for three days (because my teacher training was poorly attended- but that is their loss, right?!!)
• I had my favorite summer meal again- twice! (although, this time there were no blackberries)
• I had a great time helping Michelle get ready for her family to come! I LOVE being around Jill and Michelle!
• Jill was SO brilliant and called me from Costco to see if she could pick anything up for me since she would be passing by my house. Waffles, toilet paper, oatmeal and string cheese. THANK YOU!
• My sister called to catch up and tell me she had sent a special treat to share with my family in Utah (post to come later). She also told me thank you for the purse I sent to her daughter to replace the one she had stolen from the park. It is nice to feel appreciated!
• I went and saw Becoming Jane on Thursday night (having missed out on joining Collette and Jill Wednesday night). I had a hard time believing the love interest wasn't a fawn but enjoyed the cinematography and most of the dialogue.
• My neighbor invited Ethan over to play and she kept him for 3 1/2 hours! I was able to write an entire primary program while he was gone! Lifesaver!
• I have read another 100 pages in Sarah's Quilt and just might make it to the end for Tuesday night without feeling totally stressed out!
• I have laughed often at my funny 3 year old boy who still carries a Barbie everywhere he goes and asks to sing "my stupid birf-day song" over and over. (It is actually The Potential Break-Up Song by Ali and AJ. He hears it on Radio Disney along with all his favorites from Hi-Moosical!)

See. Life isn't so blah.
I love blogging!
