Therapy

Over the weekend I found myself in a major FUNK. The reasons are many, the excuses lame... Hot weather, a bad church visiting experience (complete with puppets), kids who spent way too much time in front of screens, hot weather, (yes, I know that's a repeat), a messy house, hormonal fluctuations, feeling FAT, roots that desperately need to be colored... I was a mess all weekend and poor Asia bore the brunt of my bad mood.

I woke up this morning determined to work it out. Some people would go for a run or work out at the gym extra hard. I wish I were one of those people. My smooshy tummy wishes I were one of those people... at least I could burn calories while I dealt with my angst. But no - I have to be a creative type... so while I didn't burn any calories (or any more than I do sitting here typing), I did create. It's therapy to create - especially if I create something that leaves a little piece of myself behind. That's what I did. I took a quote that I've had tucked away for years, and made a layout with it.

So here you go - cheaper than therapy and I'm totally funk-free now.

    Thanks, Kelly - although in looking at it now, I realize I desperately need to use an eyelash curler...

    Oh yea - and the puppets - they made me INCREDIBLY cranky. I just HATE to waste a whole Sunday's worth of church visiting time on blue fuzzy faced creatures singing "This is the Day". Yes - it was bad. Really, really bad.

Phlumpyschlumpy.

Good morning, peeps. It's Friday. There's frost outside this morning. *FROST!* This week has been ridiculously chilly. I'm having mixed feelings about blogging lately. Mostly because I feel like all I've been doing is whine about being tired. Or overwhelmed. And because comments are lacking. And because I can't seem to think about anything to write about except Tejan. And because some of the thoughts I'm having are too private for the blog - or too repetitive. Or too unformed to turn into actual words you all could understand. So I'm struggling a bit. And yet, I'm committed to documenting the process I'm in. So I'll keep writing when the words come. And when they don't, like this morning, when I looked at that intimidating blinking cursor and my mind went blank and I started to break out in a cold sweat and began by talking about the weather... well, then, I'll just gracefully (or not so gracefully) back out of the room... tail between m...

Missoula Children's Theater

Last week Savannah and Ethan were both cast in their school's Missoula Children's Theater production of Red Riding Hood. Savannah was cast as Mother Hood and the Grandmother, and Ethan was Robin Hood - the Hood family's cousin from England. After five days of intense rehearsing, (four and a half hours every day after school) they were ready for two shows on Saturday afternoon. It was so fun for them. And fun for me, as I was one of two parent volunteers with the privilege of being at every rehearsal. I come from my own childhood experience of many opportunities with theater and musicals, so watching them experience the thrill of performing was awesome. It was an amazing week. I'm so glad they had the chance to do it. I loved that instead of having to commit to weeks and weeks of rehearsals, they just had to do this one really intense week. A full scale musical production without a month of rehearsing and I didn't have to sew any costumes! That's my kind of pla...
