Should we exhale?

This week was full.
Soccer Banquet.
Spanish project for Kali.  It turned out really cute.  Forgot to snap shots-Blogger fail.  She had to present "En Espanol" to her Spanish class, and so she decided on how to "Plant a flower".  So we drove to Lowes, and Michaels.  We purchased small terra cotta pots, and a small bag of soil.  2 six packs of Marigolds.  And off to Michael's.  There we purchased the cutest little clear and green striped plastic bags for the soil.  Along with dixie cups and plastic spoons.
At home we put a little soil in each bag, topped off with little ribbons, and soon placed in one big basket for the next day.  The whole project looked adorbs.  While she stressed over her memory side of this class presentation, I continued to remind her, "Hun, you've got this"-  She went to private Christian Schools all through elementary.  Each Friday they'd have to convey their bible verse in front of the class.(Man, and some were whopping whoppers. ha)  I was confident she'd do well.  And so while she sat in her quiet room, I prayed that she'd nail it. While sneaking in to serve her fresh green grapes, and triscuits with cream cheese on her favorite plate. #whateverittakes.   But most of all, I prayed that she'd relax.  Well, SHE NAILED IT.  Her teacher commented on just how cute it was.  And same with her class mates.  To which some were able to take home their potted flowers.   Sigh.   Happy Girl, happy Mama.

We had dentist appointments, and I enjoyed my Wine Wednesday with my buds.

A Thursday evening shared with my sister on a nice long walk....

It's now Friday.  And I am beyond stoked.  I really don't know what the weekend holds for all of us.
Kali has her SAT Prep Class. Her Mom has loads of laundry that continues to flow over the basket.
Her Mom also needs to remind her Dad that Chapter 16 girl must learn to "Check her oil" in Jetta. And maybe, just maybe how to take off a tire.  She rolled her eyes at me this week when the above was mentioned.  So.

How was your week kids?  Full?  Lovely?  Horrible?  Sad?

Well, you can either celebrate.  OR cry.  Or clean.  Or party like a rockstar.  Just remember, don't drink and drive.  And never ever regret having fun.

And if by chance you feel like this.

Well, then just stay down.  Relax.  Curl up with a good book.  Smile because you deserve it.
The dust will be there.  Your kids, friends and lovers need more of you then cleaning or stressing.
Feel like crying?  Well, then cry.  And keep on crying until you have dried those tears.  That's the best salt on our face.  Sometimes tears. 

Just be kind to animals, and never ever litter. 

Happy Fun Friday Fellers.

Go play.  Or sleep.

The End.

Or beginning.  However you want to look at it.  

Eat well. First and foremost.  Always treat yourself to good food.  Life is too dang short.

Happy weekend to you my sweet friends.

Can I get an amen?

P.S.  Bill, I love you.  Like a lot. 

XOXO
