I’ve been without my computer for a few days, I still am. Turns out I may be out my computer for a while now. How long? I have no idea. Yes, I do have another computer in the house I can use, but I don’t have any of my programs so getting photos off my camera is out of the question, which makes blogging a little harder to do.

If I did have photos to post you would see…

Bella winning $10 at her friend birthday party Thursday afternoon. She got to spin a wheel of prizes, kind of like the one on the Price Is Right, with $10 being the grand prize. As it turns out she won the grand prize. The craziest thing is when she got up to spin the wheel I just knew she would win it.

Tess perform at her school Australia informance (it’s an performance about a subject so they call it an informance). She’s never the kid who belts out the songs, in fact, I always wonder if she’s the one mouth singing the words, but she does loves to dance so it was enjoyable for me to see her in action.

a disaster of my house yesterday. I had three extra kids here and resigned myself, like you do, to the mess that will eventually ensue. All I asked is that the mess stay in the basement, which they were pretty good at honoring. It was a loud crazy day with a couple of fights, but I managed and left my house with a clean kitchen.

another family party for Bella where the adults talked the entire evening and I embarrassingly cried in front of them. I think it was as much a shock for me as it was for them. It has been a rough week emotionally…i guess it was bound to come out.

me savoring the moment I got into bed that night. Man, I can’t believe how exhausted I am at the end of the day and wonder if I’m the only one. Am I the only one who craves bed after a long day?

me slowly waking up to a beautiful day and lingering in bed with a book. Love that.
