Day 149 of my 365 Photo Journal

Twinsies! Fash-on! 

Main themes of the day: I'm so freaking hungry and sick of trying to eat healthy and exercise. I just want to EAT! and... Murphy is acting like a nut from the meds he's on because of his neutering today. He's being SO weird and his pupils are as big as dimes. High as a kite. 

I know it's so dramatic sounding, the starvation and the desperation, but I wouldn't be 100 pounds overweight if I didn't have a bit of a food issue, right? Eating sugary foods and being really full makes me feel happy. Being hungry and eating healthy foods makes me feel sad. But I have to keep in mind that it's not all about my feelings. My weight very directly affects my health. If it didn't, maybe I could eat with reckless abandon still, but I don't want to be the sick and tired mom that can't do anything. And yeah. Murph. 😨 I kind of want to just lock him up somewhere until he comes down from this crazy high he's on. They said he'd be lethargic and spaced out, but this cat has been zooming all over the house, knocking his food over, attacking anything and anyone he sees. It's been super weird. Hoping he's closer to normal tomorrow! 

Oh, and the weather! 55 and sunny today. It was amazing. I wish it could be that temperature every day of the year. It felt SO good.

What a day! It literally rained from start to finish, but we packed as much into it as we possibly could! We had a great time visiting and hanging out. We had a fire and lots of great meals *brushes shoulder off*. The kids played well together and, as far as I know, there wasn't any drama! It was a bit exhausting, but I'm so glad that this retreat went well. Last year's was a bit of a bomb, with all the childcare drama happening behind the scenes. I feel like last year's retreat was a pre-cursor to our deciding to move away. Not that they actually had anything to do with one another, but they happened in such close succession that they seem related in retrospect. I drank a bit too much tonight and had a really fun time singing songs, while Tony played the guitar. Man, I wish I had talent with instruments!

This is my favorite picture from the whole shoot!! I love it.  We went to CT this morning and I actually got to sit in on the teaching! Woo! It feels like that doesn't happen very often. We hung out in the cafe with friends for a little bit, then went to Chipotle for lunch on the way home.  We spent most of the day just relaxing! I started a photo book for our Maine vaca in September, and tried to get caught up with some other stuff, but it was mostly just a chill day. Jonas and Clem went to group and we stayed home, chillin'. Ben and I got in the hot tub with Ruby and Ollie for a little while, which was fun. It was snowing while we were in there!

Today was a very rough day for me. It's not like everything went wrong, I just really struggled to manage my emotions. I had to run out, first thing, to get my pick-up order because there were things in it that we needed for breakfast. Then, somehow, we didn't get school started until almost 9:30. I started with Ruby and Ollie, as usual, and decided to check in with Ollie while I was reading. Okay, related side note, Ruby can't stand it when I ask Ollie questions and not her. But the thing is, Ruby remembers EVERYTHING she hears. She learns super well by just plain old listening. If I ask her questions, she answers them correctly and I never get to gauge whether or not Ollie is learning. She also always blurts out answers because she's so afraid I won't give her an opportunity to show us all how much she is learning. And I get it! She wants praise and to show me that she's a good student and she's learning. I understand. But, because of her constant eagernes...
