Day 270 of my 365 Photo Journal

We had our roof replaced today! Hooray for spending all of our money on something I'm not really going to notice! I mean, okay, that's immature. But still, it's hard to spend so much money on a roof. It makes sense that it's expensive. I get it. I just don't want to be a grownup and have to deal with this kind of stuff. 

The weather was beautiful today, but we couldn't really get out of the house and enjoy it because of the roofing situation. The only pictures I took were of Ollies bug bite on her back and my virgin daiquiri[sp?] I had during my girl's night out tonight. 

Girl's night out was fun! Honestly, I was dreading it. I hate going places and my weight has been bugging the crap out of me lately. It's making me hate being around people I'm not comfortable with and making me feel really, really awkward and big when I'm out in the world. I hate this. ANYWAY. Girl's night out. It was good. Me, Grace, Susan, Jing, Mine, and Shannon all went and we had lots of laughs and good convo all evening. So glad I went and didn't skip out, like I was seriously considering doing! 

I'm going to include this cute picture I took of Andrei a few weeks ago. He was showing me how yummy his raisins were. :)

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...
