WOW!  I can&#8217;t even fathom helping out at the school if the open air stadium smelled that bad.  I do realize that it was a hot sunny day and that the majority of these kids are full on hitting puberty and also have no working knowledge of either deodorant or showers, but seriously&#8230;.I was truly amazed at the stench that sat like fog in that place.  It was UNBELIEVABLE!<\/p>\n<p>Click on the picture to see some other shots from the event.<\/p>\n<p>Then Jon and I headed out to our weekly Sushi Date.  This is pretty much our only &#8220;protected&#8221; time of the week.  Pretty much NOTHING messes with out one hour Thursday Sushi Date.<\/p>\n<p>Siah was too cute.  He loves coming with us and we love having him  While it&#8217;s not the same as a NO CHILD date, it&#8217;s still pretty awesome.<\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/xangelle\/3552782420\/\" title=\"Tea Time by Xangelle, on Flickr\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3375\/3552782420_1876c4f18b.jpg?resize=356%2C500\" width=\"356\" height=\"500\" alt=\"Tea Time\" \/><\/a><\/center><\/p>\n<p>We are going into Vancouver tomorrow to look at a bunch of town homes and one house in the hopes of finding something within our price range to be able to move into this summer.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m equally excited and terrified and annoyed and worn out.  It&#8217;s an awesome ball of emotions and probably what&#8217;s wearing me completely out right now.<\/p>\n<p>And that is why I keep coming here, wanting to post, but clicking away.  I don&#8217;t know what to say and like this post shows&#8230;..I feel like I&#8217;m just verbally diarrhea-ing on you all.  I LOVE this place.  It&#8217;s MY PLACE.  It&#8217;s my place to talk and chat and emote and I feel so tapped out that I&#8217;m not even sure what to talk about or chat about or even to emote about.<\/p>\n<p>I have pictures lined up in iPhoto that I need to upload, and now it feels like they are so old that what is the point&#8230;.I think that all the travel and uncertainty are just really wearing on me.<\/p>\n<p>I need to get settled and we are working on that.  This has just been a very loooooooong year with a freakload of commuting and well&#8230;.I&#8217;m tired.  <\/p>\n<p>Is it summer, yet?  I need a vacation.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;d love a child free vacation, but I&#8217;m still nursing and so that&#8217;s a ways off yet.  <\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s a whole &#8216;nuther post&#8230;.if I could ever get enough emotional energy to write about.  Yes,  I am extended nursing.  And I realize that Siah is at the age were others think that he (and I) should just stop and well&#8230;.I&#8217;m not planning to yet.  I am expecting the comments to start any time now and realize that there are some who are not commenting, but are sure thinking their comments and while I&#8217;d love to say that I don&#8217;t really care.  It&#8217;s not the truth.  I don&#8217;t like to be judged.  I try desperately hard to not judge and I&#8217;d rather talk about &#8220;why&#8221; I can chose to make this decision for my son and myself and my family and that we could agree to be different.  <\/p>\n<p>But..it&#8217;s a big long topic and one I&#8217;m not going to try and deal with today.  Maybe another day&#8230;.soon????<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;d also like to talk about working outside of the home.  Again, another day&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Also, moving into Vancouver&#8230;..BIG FREAKIN&#8217; ISSUE&#8230;&#8230;and terribly expensive and so against what we want in our lives and yet so much a part of what we want in our lives&#8230;..and once again&#8230;that freaking dichotomy&#8230;&#8230;..<\/p>\n<p>Also, Jeremy&#8230;.he is at least a few posts in and off himself&#8230;&#8230;oh man&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Well, I&#8217;m gonna sign off and hope for better things tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p><em>ps.  Can I just say that after using my father-in-laws camera, I HATE my stupid little camera.
