A Day At The Circus

Cora, Sarah and I went to the Shrine Circus this morning with Sarah's preschool. It was a lot of fun, but what was most fun for me was watching the girls' reactions to what was in the ring. It was their first time to the circus, so everything was new to them. I love how I get to experience everything again through my girls. How blessed I am to have them. Thank you, God, for humbling me once again.


After the circus, the girls went to their friend Makena's house for a few hours. I took that opportunity to go to the bow club to get a little practice in. Man, I shoot like crap. Yeah, I know it's only my 4th time shooting EVER, but I get frustrated easily when I don't master something right away. I'll keep working on it. A bow of my own will help as well, since I'm using a club bow that's been used by many people. We shall see.

Ugh

I've been dreading doing this layout for a while.




Journaling:

"Dad wore hats all the time. For as long as I can remember he always had one. They were such a defining part of him. The only time he didn't have one was in church. It was apparent that they were a comfort item for him. He was himself when he had it. His collection was in the hundreds at one point. Dad died of cancer in August 2005. His "USA" hat hung above his bed at the hospice. He called it his "almost favorite" hat. I miss him desperately, but I find comfort in the hats that are now scattered around my home. In a way, he's here too."

Sigh

It appears that I'm going to stay home today, whether I like it or not. Andrew ran off to work this morning with both sets of car keys. Stinker. I was going to go up to the school and get my ID this morning. Guess I'll get it tomorrow when I go up to work out.

I didn't sleep at all last night. I was up until 2 AM cleaning the living room and reading. Once I did go to bed, I tossed and turned all night. I guess sleeping ALL DAY yesterday wasn't the best, but I had to do it. I'm a bit swolen today around the dental implant site, but not in too much pain.

Andrew picked up my class books for me yesterday while I was asleep. This semester will definitely be interesting.

Welp, off to get my bedroom clean. It's been a disaster since we got back from Texas.

Monday, Monday...

I had my second dental implant inserted today. I took some "happy pills" to relax me a bit. I could have probably had the procedure done without it, but Andrew was home to drive me to and from, so I said, what the heck? I came home and slept most of the day. I'm still a bit groggy, so if things don't make sense, you know why! :) (I seem to be saying that in a few posts lately! :) )

Anyway...St. Louis is a no-go. They decided to do it themselves. Kinda bummed, but that's how it goes sometimes.

Tomorrow's my ladies league night at the Bow Club. Should be fun. I went and practiced the other night for a while.

The semester began for me and Andrew. I'm taking Structure of English, American Ethnic Literature, and BioEthics. Interesting classes. Structure of English should be particularly interesting, since I'm a Grammar Nazi! I'll definitely have to manage my time to get some scrappin' and photography in! Can't do without those!
