Ah, yes, this is a caring group. Love all the wisdom here. Liked your thoughts, Harmony, and how you seem to be able to keep perspective with the practical rhythms of life. Yes, I'm a bit like a balloon too, but a balloon that needs to refill itself starting tomorrow.
I didn't get too much done today beyond groc. shopping, laundry, and hosting the C family (R, S, and baby J) tonight. J is becoming so fun!! She's almost OK with the dogs now and is saying more and more words. Anyhow, I'll need to be focused tomorrow to get ready for dfriends. Also, my mentee emailed me tonight, wanting a date for us to Skype for our study, so I feel I need to do some background reading and email her some Qs soon. I did email her back tonight. She is so on the ball and so eager, very easy to mentor, actually.
I'm going to say it is OK that I didn't get more done today. I'm peopled out after the trip. I love dh, but I did start to get irritated w/ him, not b/c of something specific he did but just b/c he doesn't leave me alone well. He's always asking me questions or talking to me, and at night, he sleeps so close that it feels like he's glued to me. . . . LOL! I'm sure some wives would love all that, but like some (many?) of you here, I'm the introvert and he's the extrovert, so sometimes I just have my fill of people. I probably would hate being married to another introvert like myself, though.
I'm going to read commentaries to prep for mentee for about 30 minutes and then go to bed.
