Week in Review…

Last week was stellar, even by my standards.  Let’s see… what went down…

I introduced myself to our new church family by bursting into tears at the potluck.

I learned that just because you’re Canadian doesn’t mean you can tell the difference between an elk and a moose.  Duh…

I learned that if you send your kid to the church nursery wearing white, it’s just your own stupid fault.

I told a client to eff off when she announced that she was pregnant.  Yep, just came right out with it.  It was said in a super excited way, of course.  A very non-threatening inflection.  Thankfully she’s a saint and forgave my white-trash moment.

I learned that you can’t consider yourself ‘post-partum’ anymore once your baby is 12 months old.  After that, you’re just old and crabby.

But then, some other things happened too…

Charlotte started using her potty!  I know, this may sound lame but if you have kids you totally get it.  The elation! The victory! The end of diapers is in sight!

We went outside one morning to find 8 or 9 deer in the backyard, just hanging out.  Then we got to watch them all pop over our 5ft fence.  I don’t imagine this will ever get old.

We took a really nice hike (Panorama Point Trail – Corwina Park) and got to explore some beautiful places.  Such a balm to the soul…

I started making my own granola.  Oh, wow.  Yum.  I will never buy a box again!

I learned, yet again, that there are good people in the world who are willing you stand beside you when you are having a really, really hard time. 

And I remembered that there is always tomorrow, with no mistakes in it.
