Swing of Things

The Hurricane threw me off. First, my room is in disarray. The carpet is ripped up and rolled to the corner so my furniture is all over the place. It's amazing how un-zen that can make me! Also, I'm reading the book club book, The Girls. It's putting me in an awful mood. It's an awful book. And I'm getting all emotional about politics on Facebook. Deep Breath. So, this was a hard week to get back into the swing of things. In fact, I wouldn't exactly say that I'm back. I'm still all over the place (but aren't I always!) Voss and I did story time and lunch at the park on Tuesday. We went to the Choice Wine thing that night and it was much better this week. The topic was about making the most of the moment. Always a good conversation. I totally forgot that I had planned a play date with my friend April and was bringing her dinner. So there was a scramble on Wednesday morning. I picked up a Stoffer's lasagna and bagged salad and donuts at WD and headed to Julington Creek. Luckily, April is cool like that and we had a nice visit. My mom and I went to check out bridesmaids dresses for Katie's wedding on Thursday. I totally flaked and forgot about Abigail's ballet class that afternoon! We went to the FYC Halloween party. I was so busy trying to get homework done and everyone dressed and ready! Agh! Neat party, though! On Friday we met Kim and her kids at the new Boone park (mine fell asleep in the car of the first half of the play date!). Then we walked to Mellow for pizza. The weather has been perfectly fall. Awesome park weather! We went to dinner at TCC for a make-up first Friday. The kids loved the glow sticks on the lawn. Voss got a cold and started wheezing so we didn't stay too long. He was creeping me out yesterday with his forced breathing. We've been using his inhaler. We ran in the Stockton Fun Run. We signed up to do the 5K but we only made it about 1.5. We chilled out most of the day. Phil took Marly to watch a tennis match. We went to the Assumption fall festival. Ansley came with us and then babysat for a few hours when we got to go to a yummy client dinner at Orsay. We went to mass, met up with Ansley's mom and headed to Elisa's butterfly Birthday party. Voss was much better today. Those 2 naps yesterday helped! Marly had a soccer game and team pictures. We took a little break then went to Leo's Birthday party. A full day! I'm hoping to be back in the groove next week!
