Bull It.
- About those parties…one was in the birthday girl’s backyard which was full of young fruit trees! I ooohed and aaahed over the apple trees (two kinds!), plums and peaches. I didn’t take any pictures as I don’t know the family too well. I didn’t want to be that weird lady that takes pictures of everything even though I am that weird lady that takes pictures of everything.
- The other party was held at a gymnastics center which all the kiddos absolutely loved. I had an I Love Lucy moment when I went into the giant foam block pit to rescue Girlie and her BFF and couldn’t get out myself. I was wearing a skirt too. Thank goodness no one was watching…I think.
- ZB was one of many honored at an assembly for honor roll students. He was on the honor roll the entire school year. We’re proud and all that…but sorry kid, we’re still not putting the bumper sticker on the car!
- School’s almost out and we have an activity to do almost every day. One might think this is for the children, but actually, it’s to preserve my sanity, heh.
- My friend is throwing a backyard bash to begin summer in style and I can’t wait. She’s serving alcohol!
- We only have one more birthday party to attend, woot!
- If I am able to manage it, I plan to take a sewing class and hope that will help me get over my patternophobia*.
- I really miss ballet and if the price of gas weren’t so ridiculous, I’d drive the hour plus just to take a decent adult class at Ballet Austin.
- I’m dealing with a lot emotionally as usual and pretty soon, I am going to hit the point where I can no longer be in denial, and have to go back to therapy. Underneath it all, there’s a deep sadness that I just can’t shake. Functional depression. If I thought writing about it in my private journal would help, I would, but it would just make things worse. I don’t even like talking about it (see? denial). Many of you know my blog is my “happy place” so to speak. I like being forced to think of some good things in my life to write about. It helps to keep me from wallowing. OK, I’ll shutup now. Bye.

LOL@ at taking pictures of everything…I wish I could walk around the neighborhood taking pictures of people’s gardens and trees because all the flowers are blooming but afraid of being chased away or something
And (((Tifi))) I think you put into words pretty much how I’ve been feeling for months.
I use the private journal to incoherently swear a great deal, hehehe.

LOL…I don’t use patterns with MOST of my things. I hate using them. It adds like half an hour to any project…cutting them out n’ stuff. I pretty much stare at patters or use them once to have an idea on How to do something then I alter it in my brain and measure and cut off the fabric.
The keychains are cool!
Hope you feel better mama!!!

Sorry you’re dealing with crappy emotional stuff. Having kids I think jacks our brains and our hormones up severely. Is there a period of recovery we should be aware of? Like can someone just say - Oh don’t worry, in 5 years you’ll be fine. Then we could just wait it out. Well hope you get the help you need in whatever way you need it and HAVE FUN at that summer party - sounds cool.
