Ahhhh...

I feel like the fog has lifted, and I'm back to my old self again. I don't know why I was so unable to deal with life this week. Usually I just flow along, but not this week. I don't know. Maybe it's the start of menopause!! lol



It's been a good day. We visited with precious friends this morning, and had such a sweet time. The weather is perfect. (This would be my ideal summer) School is rolling along so easily. I'm amazed at what all Laney is learning. I am already looking for Sonlight for next year. First grade. Wow.




I even got my purse finished. Yes, I sew. Despite some haters, who, when I told a group of friends last week that I sewed, responded, "In theory." So here's my "in theory" purse! (pbbtttttt ;) )



It even has cute little pockets inside. I'm sad, because it's too short, but okay for a first-in-a-very-long-time effort. I got the fabric from Hayes. Isn't it cute? She has great taste in fabric. The purse looks like Jenn R. to me, so I told her she could have it when I rotate it out!!!



Laney was so cute. She loved it and wanted her picture taken with it. I love that girl.



Allen even brought me home a rose last night. He really felt sorry for me! Laney smelled it earlier, and said, "Oh it smells SO good!"

Jude replied, "Yeah, it smells like Mama." Okay, that makes up for the stepmother comment from yesterday.



So all is well. I'm thankful for the yucky days, really. How can you love the good days if you don't have any bad ones? And I was feeling guilty for unloading on my blog, but I was reminded yesterday that it's good to be real some times. It helps to know that you aren't the only one who struggles. It's terribly hard being a mama, and everyone struggles some days. I think it's supposed to make us long for home!!!!!
