Happy Hump Day! 🤓 Haha but in all seriousness, I am glad the week is more than half over. Tomorrow is pizza and a movie night and then it's Friday! Not bad at all.  

I DID get out of the house today for a little bit (for maybe the first time since Christmas!). I went to Home Depot and bought sponges and drain cleaner. 💁😅 Yeah, it was pretty awesome. Oh, and then Ollie begged for french fries, so I stopped at McDonald's and got her some and then she took one bit, said, "Ew. Me no like those". Okay, I'm just rambling and being obnoxious. Nothing interesting is happening in my life right now. I took pictures of Ollie with her Magnatiles and I played with her for an hour and a half with all sorts of toys and games. I also ordered our very late holiday cards and spent some time talking to Marme on the phone. Big day!

We're going to start a Dwell class on Saturday and it lasts for 3 months. Every Saturday, from 9 -12, for THREE MONTHS. I'm starting to wonder WHY I decided to do this...like, to what end? Do I want to become a leader? If so, why? So much studying, time sacrificed, and memorizing ahead of me. There's a big part of me that is dreading this. I need to start praying that God will make this feel worth it for me!

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...
