    My life is revolving around the bunny making. It now has a head, a face, two ears, two arms and half a body. It made waiting to have my car serviced and Christina’s dance classes pass by quite quickly. But the bunny butt will have to wait until tomorrow.

    I spent some time on the back patio with Billy after dinner, just talking. I didn’t realize how much I missed that. I think I talked a little too much about myself, but it’s at least a start. We’re both feeling our way through this.

    I think we managed to make things right with Robin. At least she’s speaking to me again.

    Back to work today and back to work indeed. By 8:00 I had both kids not speaking to me. I put Pinot on the market for five cents and got no takers. I think it’s time for another day.

    I taught Christina how to moon someone today. She thought it was absolutely HILARIOUS. What have I done?

    This is the first of a long string of weekends we’ll be traveling for cheer and dance competitions. There was a stretch of about 15 minutes that was very tense on the way to Orlando when my gas gauge turned on just before a 15-mile stretch of highway without a single exit. I made it…

    Today was a day of downs and ups and downs and very little in between. I wanted to get something sparkly to wear for New Year’s and I found five dresses at Goodwill in what I thought was my size, only to find that all but one were too small. I came home in tears,…

    I think in 6th grade you don’t call them play dates anymore, but I took Robin to hang out with her friend at Barnes & Noble today. It was my first time meeting her and she seems pretty awesome. I’m happy Robin has a friend like her. Also, Barnes & Noble was jumping! I don’t…

    My mind has been racing 1,000 miles an hour this week, and I’m having trouble keeping up with it. I have about 25 pots on the stove, and I’m trying my best to tend to all of them. Eventually this pace is going to catch up with me.

    It was a long, busy day and I am thoroughly exhausted. Showered, blew my hair straight for the first time in about a year and a half, went to church, went food shopping, baked a cake, cleaned the house, made mango salsa, had my sister in law and her family over, cleaned up, and now…

    I have so many things on my plate. Preparing a worship service for this Sunday, trying to fix the world’s problems at work, performance week at the symphony, Dad’s 81st birthday, Valentine’s Day, remembering to put gas in my car, responding to texts from friends as best I can, preparing NAMI classes, writing, going to…

    Today was a day of working to fulfill obligations. Writing for an upcoming workshop, calling a friend, learning music to sing at tomorrow’s church service (nothing like the last minute), finding a babysitter. Even the things I do for myself are for other people. I don’t know what it is that I want. Sleep, mostly.

    Another cheerleading weekend. I introduced the kids to Outback Steakhouse and they both regretted not ordering steak and mashed potatoes after I got my meal. I’m tired of Orlando traffic, by the way.
