Friday

Today I woke up feeling very grumpy. Almost evil, really. I really had no reason to feel this way, but I just did. It is Dave's off Friday and he let me sleep in and he made orange sweet rolls for breakfast, but I still felt really hostile. I stubbed my toe really bad on a stepstool and ripped half of a toenail off, which really makes me so angry because it messed up my pedicure. That, and it really hurts.
Luckily, the kids and I had a playdate with my friend Jessica. It was the best way I could have possibly spent my time today! She is just such a wonderful, funny person and just being around her really cheered me up so much. It has been way too long since I have seen her and her kids. They are so grown up now! We got to swim in their pool and Jonathan and Anna had a great time. They both used some little floats you can sit in and were delighted that they could kick their way across the pool. Jonathan wants one, a Spiderman one, because then he says he can go in the deep end. He is getting much braver with the water, and I am hoping this will finally be the summer that he learns to swim. Lessons start this Monday for both of them! I am looking forward to lessons because it will give a little more structure to our day. These lessons go on Monday through Thursday for 2 weeks, and we also have private lessons scheduled (my Mom arranged it) for Jonathan and Trystan at her house two mornings a week. So hopefully, this will be the summer for Jonathan, and maybe Anna too. I think they could both swim, they just need to let go (literally) of me enough to do it. Between swim lessons, VBS, my birthday and Father's Day, June is just going to fly by.
