Busy, tiring day this weekend.

Last night, Rose's friend Eva-Jo had a birthday, so I drove out to their house on the east side of town - a house I'd never driven to on my own before. Happily, I was able to find it, although they had sneakily changed the color of the building on me. Had some chicken nuggets and some birthday cake, and then left Rose there for the night to come home and watch a silly anime about a vampire haunted by a human.

This morning I slept in like I usually do, as Rose is perfectly happy to let Daddy sleep in, and then ran out for some breakfast before returning home and meeting up with my friend Carol for some chores. We went through a bunch of stuff that had built up by the front door - bags, purses, gloves, coats, gloves, hats, and some gloves. Then we went through some paperwork, sending off a few things that needed to be sent off. Progress! But tiring.

Then Rose re-appeared from her sleepover, and we went over to her friend Ruby's birthday party, where there was mexican food and a gang of 7 and 8 year old hooligans ^H^H^H^H^H^H girls. Apparently, I could have dropped her off and gone off by myself for a few hours, but I didn't get to that part in the parenting manual next. So, after all that craziness we returned home and I grabbed a nap before finishing up the day watching Wall-E while drinking coffee.

Thursday marks the 2nd month since Tammy passed. So far, holding it together. Sortof.
