On that note I am off for some ice cream
For about the last month I have been stuck something fierce. That is saying quite a bit considering I spend most of my days floundering in a vat of syrup of my own making. But it's so true. I thought that by shipping the older two children off to visit their Missouri kin I would be opening a door to productivity, but no. Instead I spent most of that time with Devon. As in 24/7 Devon. It was intense and it was wonderful. I also spent most of June ignoring the fact that it was June. June hurts and I often wish it weren't even a month. I know my father can only die once and he did, two years ago in June, but I still spent most of the days dreading June 20th but hoping it would just come and go as quickly as possible. So I spent the month holding my breath and savoring the moments with Devon. And now it is July. The big kids are home, my 20th high school reunion is around the corner and it is quickly becoming apparent that I will not likely lose 30 pounds before it arrives. Life can be such a brutal bitch sometimes.

From your picture with Devon, over on the right, I think you look great! Don't worry about the pounds, just have fun. I had my 20th about four years ago and most of the folks had gained some weight, it's to be expected.
I'm always sorry to hear about your dad. He sounds like he was a great guy.

I so hear you, except that I have already blown off my own 20th high school reunion.

Teri,thanks for the positive words, my dad was truly wonderful. Somebody recently reminded me that everybody else will also be 20 years older. Jen, maybe I'll hide out at your river cabin that day so I don't even have to deal with the reunion. :)

Or take me with you and we'll pretend we're a couple...

I skipped my 30th reunion and if you don't want to go, don't. But don't NOT go because of "how you feel you look." That wouldn't be right. Your gorgeous girl! Sorry about your dad. I don't know what else to say to that. I'm so glad the kids are home safe and seemed to have a good time. I think Cass is about the cutest girl EVER.
