Can I just complain for one minute? I hate having my period. I'm so freaking sick of it and I wish I could never get a period again. Ever. I'm sick of the headaches, and the cramps, and the BLEEDING that I have to constantly try to be aware of. The headaches are insane. They are just constant. I'm taking medicine 6 times a day and they're still pounding all day. Okay. I'll try to stop.

I had an ultrasound in preparation for bariatric surgery this morning. It was fine, but I'm just not a fan of having my routine changed (unless the change makes life easier somehow). It wasn't a big deal, but I had to be out of the house at 8, so I had to get the girls ready before that. After that, Ollie and I met Naz and Melis at the zoo and wandered around for a bit. There weren't many animals out, but the girls didn't seem to notice or care at all. After an hour and a half or so, the girl's moods started to go downhill. We continued to walk around for a bit, but then headed home. I got Ollie down for a nap and that was pretty much the day. I worked on needle felting a bit more and we ate some dinner that Ben made for us. Ben and I watched a movie called Love Hard last night...the first Christmas movie of the season! I'm looking forward to a nice, relaxing weekend...because what else could we possible get with four kids home all weekend, besides relaxation?? 

Also, happy birthday to my dad!!!! 💓💓

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...
