Another day off of school! Pretty crazy. It feels like a holiday. :) Jenny came over to hang out this morning and I had a really good time. I can't help but to still feel regret at the way that I behaved towards her (and lots of people) over the summer and early fall. I've apologized, been forgiven, and I need to just move past it. I am trying, but I still feel sad that I hurt my friends so badly AND that I walked away from my HC for months. *sigh* Nothing I can do to change the past! Anyway, the morning was nice. 

Jenny took Jonas over to Micah's house for me, since he lives in her neighborhood (yayyayyayyayyay!!!) and I played video games for a little while. I didn't do much that was productive today, honestly. Mostly just chilled. When I went to get Jonas, I guess I embarrassed him in front of his friend that I was driving home, so he was pissed at me. That was annoying for me because I didn't even get a thank you for getting him a ride there or coming to get him OR driving his friend home, but he still had the nerve to complain to me about being myself. BUT he's allowed to have his feelings and I get it, to an extent. I'll probably just try to stay more quiet around him and his friends. He wasn't embarrassed in a funny way, he was super mad. 

When we got home, everyone went outside for a long time because the weather is so beautiful. Sadly, I had to stay inside and make dinner. I guess I can't truthfully say "sadly" about staying inside. I hate playing outside and I'm not ready to do gardening stuff yet. Anyway, I didn't eat much of the dinner because I had a girls night out with cell group ladies tonight. SO FUN!!! We honestly had a blast. I'm so glad that we got together. There weren't many of us, but it was a really good time with lots of fun conversation.

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...
