Tuesday was a beautiful day, and in the morning a couple of moms in the ward met up at the park. I was really tired and anxious, and even though I enjoyed the sunshine, I ended up literally running away from the other moms halfway mid-sentence. (There was nothing wrong with them, but I had the sensation that I was putting my foot in my mouth again and again, and it was very uncomfortable.) Soon after Clarissa came toddling over and put her head in my lap, clearly tired too. It was a great cue to hightail it outta there.
Later in the day Ammon took his little friend, Jojo, on a ride around the cul-de-sac. I got a picture!
I have been in the bad habit of eating my stress emotions after the kids go to bed, so instead of hitting the carbs right away, Abe and I took a long walk…to Menchie’s. Well, we stopped on the way at this new dessert store, but the line was long and honestly the ice cream and desserts looked to fancy for what we were in the mood for. I like the idea of olive oil ice cream in theory…but honestly just wanted to eat frozen chocolate yogurt with lots of toppings. We talked the whole way there and back. It was so energizing to connect (and eat frozen yogurt).
