  Last week was a doozy O_o

  Not the best walk/run on Monday morning.  Get back to the car and my phone goes off reminding me that I have a morning class... in 30 min... WAH... I have class?!?!? YIKES!   I am all hot, sweaty, in desperate need of a shower...   I also need to talk to Joshy's teacher.  Manage to talk, shower & arrive at my class only a couple minutes late... only to discover that my teaching bag is sitting AT HOME.

  Tuesday, a 3.5 hour lunch with some of the B/C course mamas from Joshy's school - lovely <3

  

  Wednesday, all morning at J's school for graduation practice & a special graduation congratulation party thingy thrown by all the elementary students... It is a totally Japanese thing, that cannot explain well.   Joshy was so happy <3  Then getting in trouble for taking pictures  It's moments like this that I just want to give up trying to figure things out.

  Friday, lunch with all the B/C students & teachers, except for Joshy's teacher who had to miss it because her child was ill, st a fancy french restaurant.  Joshy being in C course & his teacher missing the event meant that I had all the responsibility of caring for Joshy.  The other students were cared for by their teachers so that the parents could relax, sit back & simply enjoy.  There was a fun slide show about the 4 graduates (Joshy graduating from 6th grade, 2 graduating from junior high, & 1 high school graduate).  Over all it WAS nice, but after a crazy week it was also stressful.

  Attempting to wade through the embassy website so that we can get everything ready to renew the girls US passports.  Discovering that Bekah does not have a valid form of ID.  Figuring out if we can get her Japanese passport renewed BEFORE we have to head to Tokyo.  (YES, it is possible and as of this morning has been applied for )

  Most of the week was nasty cold, wet, snowy, blowy weather.  Gray, cloudy, blah....

  Between all the extra activities and the nasty weather I didn't get any more walking in, other than the less than satisfactory Monday walk.  It should have been week 2 of my 5k training.  SIGH...

  Yesterday, Sunday, was a lovely day.  I made myself get out for a walk.  Walking is good for me, not only physically, but emotionally as well.   Along the way I saw some signs of spring - so refreshing!  I also realized that if these pretty flowers could make it through a rough week of snow & cold, then with the LORD's help I can, too.

  

  Time to start a new week
