I can't keep posting status updates (at the risk of looking like a facebook-a-holic).  I can stop whenever I want to!  So I'm kicking out a mini-blog instead.  Papa Bear had the day off today.  The WHOLE day.  I went and got my haircut first thing this morning.  It's cut.  Really, really cut.  Maybe I'll have Anna take a picture tomorrow.   That's me saying, "Cheeeese."

I took the 4 youngest kids to the pool for about 3 hours before dinner.  Bananna is protesting the still-freezing water, so she stayed here and hung out with her dad.  Papa Bear and I took a long walk together after dinner.  I'm sure he was gratified by the fact that he can still run WAY faster than I can. . .eventhough he was in sandals. ;)  So yeah, that's really about all.  No wrap up.  Just consider this a string of status updates.  Oh yes, and I was feeling way less "energized and encouraged" early this afternoon, when I paid bills.  Ugh.
