Monday.

I am worn, torn and just plain tired today.

I suppose that's why Monday has the reputation it does.

It was a good weekend, filled to the brim with a sweet little girl's party, and a soccer game, and all of the messy family things in between. 

The overflow is a little overwhelming. A funky sunburn (from wiping sunscreen?) on Miss Anni's face that means cancelling family photos tonight. So funky we thought it was an allergic reaction when it made itself known yesterday. Plus rain, so it's possible they wouldn't have happened anyway. Such a silly thing to be upset about, but, well, there it is. I picked out fun clothes, planned a time with a dear photographer friend in town just for a few days, and, well, there it isn't. 

It takes a little readjusting.

And really, there a few other, larger, disappointments going on right now, and I think...

I'm just being reminded to refocus.  There is so much, so much good in my life, and wallowing, well, wallowing just make the rest of my little family miserable.

So, today, today I will bake bread and make applesauce.  I will kiss my girls, fold their clothes, and sweep up their messes.

I will keep trying.
