Anticipation

Bad night last night... me, not Jane. I had some sort of stomach ailment that kept me in such pain I didn't get much sleep. I felt better when I woke up, just exhausted. Still I wanted to go to church, so I powered through the morning. I'm so glad I did because an old friend and hockey buddy turned up with his new lady friend. We did lunch with them and some of our other good friends. We were supposed to go to the beach that night, but it was stormy at our house so we ended up skipping it, much to my disappointment.  That disappointment put me in a bad mental state and I really let myself dwell on several other slights and let downs from last week. My thoughts are not in a good place right now. I hope the start of a new week will help me move past it.

Tomorrow is Julian's first day of kindergarten. His uniform is all laid out. His backpack is fully loaded and his lunch bag is full. I can't think of anything else we need to do to prepare. Jason's going into work later so we both get to be part of this big day.

Tomorrow is all about Julian, so here's a Jane picture:

The lighting gives this a mysterious feel!

This dress is a hand-me-down from a sweet cousin. Some people would turn up their noses at "used" baby clothes, but I think they're great. I feel like it's a connection between the babies of close friends and family and part of the village raising a child.

Bummed Out


(I don't always find her funny, but there are moments when a Natalie Dee comic totally captures my mood!)

It's all good though- this week was fun and I know Julian had a great Spring Break. I just get tripped up in expectations of consideration. Can I trademark the phrase "expectations of consideration"? That is seriously my biggest source of disappointment, distrust, and dismay (to round things out). It's true you can't please all the people all the time but when it's always the same person/people who have to concede/compromise, that's not right either.
