Eat, Read, and Be Mommy

Barenaked Ladies released “One Week” while I was in college, and it was pretty pervasive. (Also “If I Had $1000000,” although that came out before I got to college.) I was all set to say that ‘it’s been one week since you looked at me’, except that then I realized it’s been more than that. Yeesh. In large part, I’ve still been trying to recover from being gone; last week was also PTA convention, however, and since I’ve agreed to be president next year, going most definitely mattered. On top of that, my son had a game, my oldest had some rough mental health days, my 15-year-old had a dance to go to and needed to try on dresses in Clearfield, and then–I crashed. What can I say?

On the plus side, my oldest is doing better, the dance is over (and she looked lovely!), my son won his game, and we voted to amend our bylaws. Go us! We had a quiet Mother’s Day at home and a dear friend of mine came to visit this morning; once she left I threw my dark towels in the washer and my lunch on the stove.

It’s almost ready, by the way. And I’ve been taking bites of my apple as I write. I’m going to focus on my food, then, with a simple thank you to all of the important women in my life.

You are loved.
