Thanks for all your kind words. I have been having such a hard time lately and the fact that you are so sweet to take the time to write sweet comments is very lovely. I was excited that her picture actually turned out good. So far the pictures we take at home are usually good but the school pictures are usually really bad. So I was excited about that. Too bad I bought the smallest package.
Lily and I spent the entire weekend working on her Reading Fair Project. We did it on her favorite book Pinkalicious. We are entering the family category where I am allowed to help her with all the work. We did it all together. It was a lot of fun. And a lot of work.
Lily has been having a hard time with her dad being away. I have been too. I know that I shouldn't complain because I have a great life. I am just having trouble getting over the hump. Once I get down it is hard to pull myself back up and get over it. Usually Jeff comes home from work and I am instantly rejuvenated. I am not trying to have a pity party. Just one foot in front of the other.
I decided to cut back on some of my volunteer commitments. Especially the ones that are not fun. I figure since I am not being paid I should at the very least be treated well and appreciated. And I figure I should enjoy it.
I am still volunteering about six hours a week at Lily's school. That is fun. Today we have nothing planned except fun. Now that is a good day.

I Think I May Have A Screw Loose

I saw my podiatrist yesterday. One part of my foot is still hurting (it's
been almost two months since the surgery). He thinks it may be one of the
screws ...

Pinkalicious. What a perfectly perfect sounding book. Has Lily ever read any of the 'Fancy Nancy' series? They sell like hotcakes in our little bookstore.
Throughout our marriage, there have been tiny bubbles of time when I've had to go it alone while my husband was traveling for work. It doesn't really compare in any real sense to what you are dealing with, but I so completely understand the emotionally quicksand of it all. Keep the faith, lady.
Pinkalicious is a great book... and I am so sorry you are having a tough time. It can be difficult to motivate when one is faced with single parenthood, no matter the stretch of time.
Can I add a late anniversary trip idea? Niagara Falls. Leonard and I went there for our honeymoon and it was such a beautiful (and also hokey, touristy trap fun) trip. Whatever you do, enjoy each other.
I can;t believe it was 18 years ago when I was facing what you are facing right now. My heart goes out to all of you.
