What to do on a sick day

I kept Ella home from preschool today and canceled a post-preschool lunch with friends because both girls had fevers yesterday. Total bummer. We were looking forward to those things.

The girls aren’t too bad today – I, on the other hand, am feeling a little sick. Now, I need to figure out how to keep us all entertained today at home …

College reunion

Wow, it’s been a blur of a week and part of that includes Ella’s first day of preschool – post coming as soon as I have time to upload photos!

Two college buddies flew here and one drove down for a few days of reconnecting. It was really nice. But weird too!

I hadn’t seen one of my friends for 10 years. But it wasn’t long before I remembered our whole group dynamic and what role we each took.

It was really different from our days at Ball State though. We were much tamer this week. We stayed up until midnight every night — that was pretty late for some of us. With my two kids and the child of one of the other girls it was kid-centric most of the time too. A trip to Chuckie Cheese,  playtime in the yard, a walk to the park … not exactly like when we used to hang out in college. (Understatement of the decade.) It all kept reminding me of that quote “You can’t go home again.”

But it was fun, and as different as we are from each other, I realized it’s our personalities that link us, not really our interests. So, hopefully we’ll always be able to share some laughs together …

Perhaps we shouldn’t have faced the bright glaring sun for our picture.
