Our week was just weird. I jumpstarted the whole thing by losing my retainer, a mistake I'm seriously regretting and have cried over multiple times. Then, I missed church on Sunday because Callista had a rough night (as did I, since I seem to have lost the ability to fall back to sleep once I'm woken up). Rough weekend.
Monday, my mom was here for the day so we could all watch the eclipse together.
Tuesday, we went grocery shopping during the day, which is always way more exhausting than I think it's going to be. I tried to work it around nap schedules, which meant we didn't even leave the house until around noon, but I figured it would be okay since we were just going to Aldi. But then everyone was hungry and getting tired, which were both exacerbated by walking around, staring at food. We didn't even get home until about 2:30, at which point I served microwave popcorn for lunch while I unloaded groceries. (This part of the job always catches me by surprise, like, "Oh, right. I just hunted and gathered all of this, but now I have to muscle it into the house and then get it put away before it all thaws. Orrrrrrr I could just succumb to the exhaustion-induced coma I feel coming on... Coma wins.")
Tuesday afternoon, Todd got in to see the dentist, who said it looks like he's going to need a root canal. Awesome.
Wednesday was pretty normal, thankfully.
Yesterday, I had a chiro appointment in the morning, and had to head to the grocery store to sell some shoes in the afternoon. (I'm a shoe peddler on the side; didn't I mention that?) (Not really. It was just a buy/sell/trade meetup in the grocery store parking lot like a normal person.) We got some school accomplished, but not everything.
So we missed about a full day's worth of work that we'll have to make up when all is said and done, which makes me feel like a failure, since we're barely three weeks into school. But it's just one day, right?
I hate weird weeks. I like my days to run like a well-oiled machine. But then real life happens and weeks look like this - not bad, just not 'normal'. Here's to hoping next week is a little more boring around here!

Does this mean that Todd WAS able to get in early for his tooth pain?? Praise God! I was praying for that, as I'm sure others were!
everybody thinks they're busy... until they read your blog.
love you! thx for all your hard work.
Lissa, yes, he DID get in early! AND his tooth has stopped hurting! I thought of you immediately when he said his tooth pain had subsided - in my head I was like, "Earlier today, Lissa said she was praying - I bet that's why!"
todd - love you too! More like, everybody thinks they're lazy until they see how much I sit around on the couch. #truestory
