Happy birthday to my mama. I think your mom's birthday is just one of those dates that sticks with you for life. Maybe it's just me? I'm thinking about her a bit today, but I'm not feeling too sad. 

I spent the morning relaxing and then started working on the CACH yearbook around 11:30. I worked on it until almost 4! Crazy. I needed to make the time to progress, but it was still an extraordinary amount of time working on one singular activity and ignoring all of my other responsibilities and obligations. I am excited about the work that I did today, though, and I'm a lot closer to being finished with the design and even filling in photos. 

Ben and I went to the sphere meeting at 4th street tonight and I couldn't help but wish he weren't there with me. I'm glad he's trying to show up for things with me (for me? I hope not), but I know I would have had so much more fun if he hadn't been there rushing me to leave. He just had this defensive stance the whole time, arms crossed, and frowny. So much like his dad! It bummed me out, but I didn't tell him that. I DO want him to go to stuff, I just wish he was going because he was happy to be there. 

I can't believe I didn't take any pictures again today, but here are some pictures of me and my mom.

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...
