The weekend started off right with me receiving the most amazing transcripts at work from Latvia. You see the strings there, if the tape is broken it is not considered official anymore. I like to see the extra effort put in by other countries (get on the ball Canada).
Friday was moving day. I drove my sister to work ( a miracle in itself that she let me drive her car since I backed up into a pole with it at Papa John’s and busted out the window last year) feeling very much like The Dude from the Big Lebowski minus the white russian. I spent the whole day cleaning out our hell hole of a former apartment. Seven hours later, 3 pounds lighter, we were on the road to Hayward for my brother’s high school graduation.
He gave a beautiful speech he claimed I ruined an hour before when I happened to make a few improvements to it (he kept them so ‘ha’).
I spent two nights babysitting this little princess who was visiting us for the graduation from Illinois. I need times alone with 2 year olds because it reminds me I am too selfish to take care of another human being,let alone a tiny one.
We also managed to find this gem of a picture for my brother’s grad party. “Disney World you say? meh, I’ve seen better”
Ellie liked that we were home though. She spent most of her time wanting to be babied and not letting me go on my computer. She even managed to fall off the bed and spill my water on me. So I resorted to reading instead.
Christofer was upset I read “our” book on the hammock by myself. He likes when I read it to him at night before bed. I’m glad he’s a big Sedaris fan like this girl.
Now I’m laying in my lovely friend Sarah’s bed (she’s in Peru for the summer, the jerk), thankful I’m not on the floor. Last night I slept like a king but I am looking forward to the new house this weekend!
I’ve caught you up on my life so now I will return to daily posts. I can’t promise they will be more logical, but I can promise they will be more regular.
Love,
M
