Gosh, I just want some time to BREATHE. And by breathe, I mean sit around with nowhere to be and nobody to please. I'm tired. My social battery has been completely drained since Thursday evening. I need a break! But today did not bring a break. 

First thing after we woke up today, I got the girls dressed and ready to go, then drove across town to Jaxon and Liam's piano recital that we were invited to. It feels like nonsense that we went to this, but they came to Clem's choir concert, so I kind of felt obligated. EVERYONE from small group was there. I just don't get it! It took a couple of hours, then I got home and worked on cupcakes for the entire afternoon, then we went to Liam's birthday party. We got there a little early to get dessert set up and stayed for far longer than either me or Ben wanted to stay. It was close to 8:30 by the time we got home, so we got the girls into bed, then sat and watched a show before going to bed. In the in between spaces, I wrapped Father's Day gifts, bought food to make for him, and got the kids to make their cards. It was a busy day!

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.
