| here goes a standard recording of events, which i try to avoid, but oh well.
i can't believe it's sunday night already. last work week flew by so quickly, but the weekend did too. that's okay though, because it was a good one. for one, the precious nephews are visiting. on thursday jacob suggested we go see "Over the Hedge." i was hesitant, i must say, buuut, i ended up thoroughly enjoying it. ben folds drew me in in the first few moments. hearing that first song just set me at ease, and i was ready to fully savor this theatre experience of escape. if you haven't, see the movie, and see it on the big screen too. it's adorable, it's funny, and it has society figured right out.
then we all went to weir's. i didn't have dinner yet, so i passed on the icecream. for some reason, i was super super irritable that night. i really don't know why... it wasn't as if the time was right or something. i even snapped at my nephews. i'm not immune to mood swings or anything, but this just seemed to take over me out of nowhere (i know, i know, though... i could control it if i wanted too...). it was a strange thing.
and later we played taboo, and i realized - my little nephews are suddenly... how to describe... on the same level as me. for example, while we were playing, they were being soooo funny. we were just cracking up at them. i mean, they really had us laughing hard. they are growing up, they know things, they get things.
friday night i fell ill - poor, poor me. i was so exhausted and drained that i stayed home and didn't even feel depressed about it :) so i took nyquil and hit the hay pretty early. sat AM i awoke feeling even worse. my dad got me some cranberry juice, so i drank a ton of that and H2O, then slept some more. i was disappointed bc i had two shin-digs to go to later that day, and i didn't think i'd be able to go to either. but alas, the good Lord smiled upon me, and i got some second wind at about two o'clock. sister becky stopped by, and we had a good long talk, then i got all prettied up and headed out the door. the night was filled with badmitton, karaoke, and friends, which together equal a very good time. little jacob even came with me to one and sang some karaoke himself. i entertained with "suds in the bucket," "oops, i did it again," and "ain't no mountain high enough." looove it.
and today, of course, the father's day festivities. beforehand i visited another church. it was about forty minutes away, but highly recommended, so i made the haul. afterwards we went to good ol' round pond.
there it is. now i'm going to try to wind down this racing mind, read, and get to bed.
