March 21, 2026 - Saturday


Such a busy day! It felt like I was running from sunup to sundown. I had to be at Dwell by 8:40am to greet all of my workers for this sphere meeting. Praise the Lord, everything went really smoothly. Everyone showed up! The kids were chill! I got baby snuggles and one even napped on me! It went as well as it possibly could have. I got one of my new hires trained, so she'll know what to do next Saturday when she comes in. I still have no idea what to expect for the next three Saturdays. 2 kids? 20? Who knows??? I guess I'll hire three people and have them all there, no matter how many kids are coming. If we only have a couple, I'll have less workers next time. *shrug* 

I finally got home from work a little after 12 and then Ben and I went out to lunch at the Rusty Bucket. I haven't gotten a turkey burger in a while, so I got one today and it was soooooo good! The fried pickles were amazing too. It was such a good lunch. Ben isn't in a great headspace, which was a little bit of a downer on the date. His work building sustained some damage in one of the recent storms and he's responsible for pushing through emergency funding for repairs in situations like this, but he's never done it before, and he knows everyone will be looking to him for guidance on how to take care of the issue. He's stressing out and worked a lot today on it. It was good we got away, but just kind of sad that he was preoccupied. 

While we were gone, Jonas and Drew hung out for a while, then Drew took Jonas to Elisha's house for their game day. It's been planned for several weeks and he was so excited to see his friends again! They haven't gotten together since January. Around 5, I went to Worthington, picked Jonas up from Elisha's house, then dropped him off a mile away at Anne's house and drove back home. 🤦That literally felt like the most ridiculous, wasted trip ever. I should have asked Anne or David to grab him! He was so close to their house! But we didn't want to impose, so we just did it. After Jonas was done playing D&D with Seth and co., Ben grabbed him and brought him home. We watched a little TV, but it was already so late, so we just squeezed in half an episode of One Piece. Such a fun show!

*No picture today, wah! But such a nice memory of Maine.

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!

I'm finally starting to feel a little more like myself again. I can almost feel the energy to work on projects and maybe even see people. We'll see if it continues in this direction or if I backslide. I just never know anymore.  Late yesterday evening, Ben asked if the McKeans wanted to come over for a fire. I was shocked! He never wants to do last minute stuff like that. It was a really good night though. I'm glad he reached out to them and asked.  Today, we just did school and our usual BJJ classes. I cleaned and relaxed in the afternoon, then rode with Christina and Lauren to my CACH class planning meeting for the spring. We stopped at Chick-fil-A on the way and got some grub. It was a good meeting! I think the semester will be wonderful. I'm glad I'm doing this yearbook club thing. I think it's going to be a fun group. I need to put together an application for the kids to fill out!

Today was pretty fun. After we finished with school, we went to the playground with Christina, Sarah, and Mackenzie. I tried to talk Christina into going on a hike and she agreed! But then she asked if we could just switch to a playground, so we did that instead. But the kids had an awesome time, and I had a pretty good time too, so it's all good.  In the evening, Clem had her choir concert. Christina brought her kids, so they were there for her solo and Jaxon brought her a dozen roses!!! Clem was blushing so hard. It was very cute. She did a great job singing again. I'm so proud of her for being brave and giving herself 100% to her choirs, to learning her music, and to practicing daily. She's a good kid.
