I finally went out and did something today! I went to see Jenny in the morning, ran to Main Campus to grab our Oasis supply bags after that, and then Ben and I took Ollie out to lunch after that. She was very excited to go on a fancy date, but Ben ended up getting all pissed off at the restaurant and nobody had any fun after that. The service took a long time and I really just wanted to get out of there, because I knew our time would be ruined. But we stuck around in tense silence, waiting for the food to show up. I asked for the check and boxes immediately and we left soon after. Not a great time. I wish he didn't get so bent out of shape about stuff like that. I wasn't happy about waiting either, but Ollie was super excited and I didn't want that to be ruined for her. 

I worked a little in the afternoon and then we headed to drop Ben's car off at Luke's Auto. We went over to the Popescos for dinner tonight and had a really great time. The kids all kept each other busy, everyone ate food, and we had some really fun conversation. It was a good night. Now we're home and Ben is grumpy again, waiting for me to finish blogging. Good times! I'll get off of here to appease him.

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...
