(part twelve)


the kohi will close tonight at:

7

the ugly:

n/a

the bad:

full day three of being a single-dad was always going to feel the most heavy. soccer festival in the morning, off to lunch and hanging out for a bit at the church and then to a birthday party. in fact, it did feel heavy, but the day breezed by for the most part with only little to some whining from caroline, who went the entire day without more than a five minute car nap whilst in transit from the soccer fields to the church.

an off day that didn't feel like an off day. these days, these busy days that zoom by and feel like they get away from me without enough arbitrary "me-time" are always kind of hard to swallow. the girls were very sweet, though, most of the day.

the good:

as mentioned above, part of the day included taking hannah to kylie's birthday party. i don't know if i should be or feel ashamed, but this was the first birthday party i've ever taken her to with caroline in tow. as stressed as i was about it (i am not the most social creature you see), it went fine. clint being there to burn some of the time and playing rag ball with some of the kids made it almost fun. i know the girls had a good time, which, of course, was all that really matters.

the quality of my church car wash was what we thought it was, but so was the bbq! will probably buy a pound tomorrow for good measure.

hannah finished up her most successful soccer season yet, scoring in the the last of the four mini-games her team played this morning. it's fun to watch her start to grasp some of the concepts of the beautiful game. selfishly, i hope she sticks with it long enough to enjoy how much fun it could be when her body and skills catch up with her mind. i am very proud of you, hannah.

commentary:

i am exhausted. t-minus less than 18 hours 'til sarah is back home. we are all ready for her to be back.
