To celebrate fall break, Jane, Lottie, and Christian
planned a fun backpacking trip
in the Blue-Ridge Mountains of North Carolina.
The fall colors right now are breathtaking.
They spent weeks planning for a two-day trip with delicious food
and warm clothes to handle the below-freezing temperatures.
I stayed home with plans to clean the boys' room, so Lottie and Jane
can move upstairs while we create space downstairs for baby six.
I went upstairs, sat down, and couldn't move.
I felt so unmotivated and nauseated.
Then I fell asleep.
When I woke up, it was nearly dark.
I went downstairs into the tub and then to bed.
And that about sums up my life.
Tomorrow, I am headed into the studio early to bring Halloween treats
to the clients and their kids for the mini & me Halloween class.
