Oh my. I have been away from this blog for too long. There are posts I keep continuing to write, and since I haven't finished, I don't update on news, and things just build up. Well, I think it's time to write now, catch up on the past later.
Things I have to post about:
1. Mom and Dad's visit.
2. Starting the new school year.
3. Dave and I in Vietnam.
4. Everything else in between!
It has been a pretty quiet weekend. Dave has been feeling a bit rough so we've been laying low. Sometimes, and I mean this in the most lovely of ways, it's nice when one person in a couple is feeling a little bit sick, as long as it's not really ill - it gives the other person an excuse to just chill. Friday night we went to the Rosemount for a celebration - Cutter has left RTR and is starting a new company. It was great to see people I haven't seen in awhile, and it was a really nice night out, especially for May!
Saturday was a really lazy day, filled with DVDs, snacks and generally just hanging out in the house. Saturday night we got Thai food and we watched 'Anvil', which was pretty funny, and also 'Perfume', because Dave just finished reading the book. From what I remember from the book the movie was pretty true to the story, but it bothered both of us that the man they cast as Grenouille was not so hard on the eyes, when in the book it was quite the opposite.
Today I have to do some work, but surprise surprise, I'm putting it off. Instead, Dave and I watched "Bride Wars", a movie that I originally swore I wouldn't allow Dave to watch because of how feral these girls get about weddings, planning and huge expenses! I think it was fine though, it was pretty fun.
School has been fine - on Friday we took the year 8s to Fremantle, it was so much fun! Week three of term two has left me pretty tired, so I'm glad we had a quiet weekend. Last week I was unfortunately beating myself up a lot, and being overtired didn't help me in terms of looking at things rationally, and I was thinking of myself as a disappointment. I plan to take a more healthy approach to how I perceive myself and what I do from now on, if I can. I always think I have to be the best in every area, and find it frustrating when I'm not. The best teacher, the best in my relationships, the best in keeping house, the best at maintaining myself physically and emotionally. But that can't happen. We can't be perfect in every area, and it's essential to make sacrifices and compromises to balance everything out. It's a hard notion to get used to sometimes.
Time to sign off, and try to catch up on other posts...
