BUSY week




We finally got a few down moments today to go out and watch winter's slow recession. Yes I said recession. I am so tired of hearing about whether or not we're in a recession. Who really cares. Though I am more than willing to accept my duty as an american to spend an extra $1200 for the economic stimulus. If I have to.

This was indeed a BUSY week. Lots of working from both Raph and I. Yesterday we sat in a school cafeteria craft fair for six hours trying to convince people to host exchange students. FUN? Not sure. I actually enjoyed it for a little while, but like anything, it got pretty old after six hours. I did get to attend a pretty awesome girl party last night and filled my gut with some much needed laughter. Eight (including me) crass girls talking about life, husbands, sex, jobs, kids, kids, etc. So nice to have the illusion of girlfriends even if I met most of them for the first time. I felt like "part of gang" immediately and cleaned up in the pokeno game (glorified bingo) raking in $30 in gift cards, $2 in quarters and a bagfull of goodies. YES!


This morning was wonderful and so enjoyed some down time. It was one of those moments when the baby is happy, the house is pretty clean, yummy food is in the oven, the music is nice, the light is filtering and making everything seem special, and you just feel like, "my life is pretty good." Makili spent some of that time in one of his favorite pursuits, pulling the pulls for the blinds. Blissful fun.
