Not for lack of material.
Just once again feeling in over my head in every aspect of my life.
Actually, since my work has slowed significantly, I'm trying to get back into running. That's where my extra energy (as if there was any extra) has been going.
When I'm overwhelmed I withdraw. I don't answer the phone, I don't return calls, I don't initiate much.
I know it's not a great tendency to have, but that's who I am. And I'm noticing the older I get the more pronounced this tendency is becoming.
When I do truly have more energy I'll focus more on fighting that urge.
As if there will be extra energy...?
Any way...
This was too cute not to share.
This morning was just me and my girl.
It's an afternoon kindergarten day- so she had all morning to stew over having to go to school and think about how she wished she was still in pre-school.
Out of the blue, Elsa asked how to stay a kid forever.
I hate crushing my kids with reality, so my answer was to go to Neverland.
We're still relatively fresh from our Disney Cruise so it's what came to me.
Her instant response was "Henry's been there."
She said it with 100% certainty.
I love people with confidence.
"He has?" I asked. Knowing her answer would be good.
She said, "Yes! Remember? He rode on a ferry?!"
Maybe I should clarify, "fairy."
I wish I could see the images in her mind.
Clearly, the ferry ride he took in December was actually a fairy ride to Neverland, not a ferry across Puget Sound.
I just want to know, did it include fairy dust?
Did everyone ride on the same fairy?
Because his whole family took that trip.
Now, I can't wait to ask Henry what his favorite thing was in Neverland.
Here we are in the Orlando Airport where we were greeted with a humongous Shrek mural.
