So Happy It's June!

I kicked April's butt, and May kicked mine. That month sucked hard core. But it's over now and I'm feeling so much better. I hope it lasts. I struggle with sort of an anxiety induced depression from time to time, I guess, and all of the various crap going on in May just ramped it up. I started going to a therapist a few weeks ago to help me figure out how to untwist my brain and change my thought processes so I don't get so anxious when things start to worry me. Both times I've been there I've run into former students of mine in the lobby. That's an awkward scenario right there. I just want to say, "So, what are you here for?" We're sitting there trying to make conversation, pretending we're not in the lobby of a counseling center.

Ok so May. Hmmm... We went camping over Memorial Day weekend. We stayed Friday night and Saturday night, and when we woke up Sunday morning I officially declared it the Worst Camping Trip Ever. It was wet and cold and windy. We couldn't have a campfire either night because it rained the whole time. Our quickshade canopy tried to blow away in the wind so Sean and I had to go out and wrestle it to the ground and try to dismantle it in the rain. The trailer had technical difficulties right and left (please, trailer, last one more year!). And then when we woke up Sunday morning and it was snowing, I said that's it. We didn't even stick around to make breakfast. I walked up to the bathroom (the one in the trailer was no longer working-- one of the technical difficulties) and by the time I got back 5 minutes later Sean had thrown everything in and the kids were in the car. We were so out of there.







Brittney and Kylie bored and freezing:


Lexi's birthday was on Memorial Day. I think she had a good one. She wanted sandwiches for dinner and cupcakes, and she got presents. She is pretty darn silly, as a 4 yo should be.







We went bowling with Scott & Wendy's family and mom on Saturday night. That was fun. The kids were all cute. David loved bowling.



The weather has been so nice the last few days!



I was out working in the yard Saturday and Sunday, and got such a bad sunburn. I never learn. But I got burned in spots where I didn't think about. The back of my neck and shoulders because my hair was pulled up and my shirt had a low neckline, and then the small of my back because my shirt would ride up when I was bending down. Who thinks to put sunscreen under their shirt? Not me. I still have quite a bit to do out there, but I want to wait until it cools down in the evening. Sean keeps talking about what we need to do to the cabin and I'm just trying to get my first yard worked on before I worry about a second one.

This Friday night is the John Michael Montgomery concert. We aren't really sure if we should count on actually going to it. This is the third time we've had tickets to see him... both other times the concert was cancelled. I'm hoping it will actually happen this time.

This is the last week for Josh's baseball, unless they play some make-up games for the ones that got rained out. It's been fun, but the city rec season is too short. We need to find him something else next year, or at least a camp. Just when he really gets into it and starts really loving it and wanting to practice, the season is over.

Well, that's about it.
