Ok, so my last post was a while ago. This month has been very busy. The mornings I hit the ground running and don't stop until the kids are in bed and I am completely exhausted. My health has a lot to do with why I am tired and this extra weight on my body is not helping me feel more energized. I am once again working at taking the weight off. Yesterday I was out in the hot sun in jeans that are a little too small for me but I can get away with it sort of thing....well, maybe not even get away with it, but needless to say, I was uncomfortable. I missed the summer when my body was fit and the sun did not make me sweat. I could walk into a store and buy a pair of shorts and not feel self conscious. I am getting that life back. I mean it.
This week ahead will mark the last official week of the seniors here at Tabor. We have the prom, senior dinner, baccalaureate and graduation. I am photographing each event. It is a mad dash to the finish line and I am looking forward to finishing!
In the meantime, Oprah has said goodbye...her final 3 shows were well worth watching in my perspective. I was entertained, I cried and once again, I learned a little about myself. Goodbye Oprah Show. I will miss you.
Today is another busy day. We are on duty in the dorm, I have a bunch of errands to run, the kids have a late birthday party at a pool, photo shoot at the same time so Jose is taking the party errand.... and I am so bummed but had to cancel a night out with friends. BOO!
Off to try to find something I am not going to sweat my butt off in today that doesn't cost a million dollars...or even $5. LOL

New Camera....
I need a new camera. I have grown out of my old one...well...I grew out of it a while ago. I know what I am getting and am hoping to be able to get it before the month is out! I CANNOT WAIT.

spring awakening, day with Beth, day with John, mono????
Ok...so it has been a long time again. Last weekend my friend Libby took me to see a production of Spring Awakening at the Zieterian theater (sp??) for my birthday gift over the winter. The show was really great, lots of enjoyable moments, shocking moments, and wow moments. I still cannot believe that they load in for one performance. That is dedication and true true love of the arts. The theater was beautiful and I cannot believe I had never been there before. I will definitely go back. It is close to my house and we parked right outside. LOVED it.
Sunday Jose had a double header baseball game(s) to umpire. I was again on my own and this time Beth came over with her daughter Taylor to visit. IT WAS GREAT! I had missed her and we haven't seen each other in so very long. Taylor is 11 and at such a perfect age to watch/play with Ava. Her and Ava were like best buddies all day. It was no surprise to us though to see our girls get along so well. Just a moment we have waited a very long time for. :-) When Jose got home, me and Beth were able to catch a quick dinner right down the street at Sippican Cafe. I felt so reconnected with myself. We hope to keep up our visits...we really lagged this time.
Monday arrived and John came over with Zachary. He is getting so big! (Zachary, not John) I got to hold him and kiss him...he is so tiny and soft compared to Manny who seemed like a giant next to him. We had such a nice visit as well and yes, we too went to Sippican Cafe for a delightful lunch. John joined me for a quick walk to pick up Ava and it was nice for him to see her school. I feel like I have such a different life here from back where I grew up and I always enjoy showing people around my area and peeking in at a day in the life of me. Yes, that sounds very conceited, but it comes from a good place of sharing the life I have now that so many people who know me so well have no idea about. I hope that we can continue visits on a more regular basis as well. John always makes me laugh and we had a great time...at least I did...LOL.
Cut to today:....Ava has been sick with a fever for a couple of days now. She had had 2 ticks on her tuesday and got a fever the next day. We are getting her tested for Lymes disease in another week, but in the meantime, she has a yucky looking throat...no complaining from her though...amazing. She may have mono. We are waiting the weekend to see how she feels and then if she is still sick, I will take her back to the Dr. for some bloodwork....just great. She better be 100% tomorrow. I have no idea what she will do if she sees a needle...she hates them.
I would have added photos, but while manny is sleeping, ava is watching a movie while I type and now needs to snug up with her mama.
Enjoy the beautiful sunshine. It looks gorgeous outside!
