You Are Not Here :'(

Why can I not live in the Shire?

I WUV U!

The anatomy of this picture: Hmmm I don't have any ideas for a picture of the day. I know! I shall take a selfie and then use photo editing tools to make myself a vampire! Awesome idea! YAY! Okay, let me just sit in this chair and take a pic. "MOMMY!" *LEAP* "I WUV U!" *click*

Report Card Day

Report cards came home today. I am totally blown away by the progress both my kids have made this year, but most especially my little girl. A large majority of Bs! She is trying SO hard. 

Teachers comments:  improvements in many areas and seems to be much happier in class. She has built more confidence and approaches challenges with a smile.

Dorian also got his first two As!

I know too much emphasis has been put on grade letters, but their grades are really showing me just how hard they are working. We special ordered pizza and pop and watched movies in celebration.

Rainbow Inkblot Test!

I feel like this is a "see what you want" rainbow. I will add what I see in the comments so as to not influence your imagination. If you read this, comment what you see first!

Pretty Katie

Katie is spending the day and night with me while her family is away for the weekend. To say that Katie is sad and depressed and missing her family is an understatement. We shared some drinks (okay, she drank water while I drank the wine) and commiserated about missing those we love who go far away and are totally never coming back ever ever again and we are so so so sad. At least that is what I am pretty sure Katie is thinking about her family right now.

AND HERE IS MY ODE TO KATIE!

Pretty Katie

Sad Katie

Super soft ears

Lonely Katie

Sleeping Katie

Tears tears tears

Birthday Sushi

To honor my best friends birthday who is miles and miles away, a bunch of friends and I went out for sushi lunch (my Bestie and my go to food of choice). It was awesome, but the more I ate, the more depressed I got, the more I missed my Bestie ferociously. The blurry sign reads "We miss you Michele <3". And we really really do. I hope you had a great day yesterday!
