I'm having a couple of grumpy days (again). I just feel so mentally ready to move on to different kinds of foods, but I know that my body probably isn't quite ready yet. So every day I'm just craving and dreaming about and wishing for something buttery and toasty or creamy and cheesy, but I'm still limited to soups and shakes. I wish that food wasn't enough to sway my mood, but over the last 3 1/2 weeks I think I have made it very obvious that food absolutely has a big effect on my days! 

Annnnnnyway, we got caught in the rain yesterday, which was fun since I can't move very fast right now. 😅 Ollie had a good time though! And today I took Ollie to Target and we got all of the Easter supplies. When it was time to check out I tried to pull up my barcode to pay but the app wouldn't let me open it. I started to panic and attempted to sign in on the website and after getting my password wrong three times, I got locked out of that. Finally, completely panicked now, I search through my purse for my new card and attempted to activate it, but I wasn't allowed because I got locked out of Target.com for getting my password wrong three times! I was so sweaty and frustrated, but thankfully I had other cards on me so I just paid with credit. But I hate not getting my 5% off! The cashier was literally so bored and obviously wanted me to just move on. 😂

It's pizza and a movie night! I have no idea what we're going to watch, but me and Jonas are about to make chocolate chip cookies for our (everyone else's) sweet tonight. :)

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...
