First Day of School 2009

So, the monkeys went to school today for the first time this school year. It was nice to get the break that school provides, but I missed them. I wish we had done more over the summer. The weather wasn't the greatest, but my issues made this summer crappy IMHO. If I could have handled being outside more we could have gone out more. The kids didn't really get to go swimming because I couldn't take being out in the open. Not really the greatest feeling knowing that summer was pretty much zorched due to my problems. Hopefully things will be much better next summer.



I also found my confidence took quite a hit in the last 48 hours. I thought I was looking pretty darned good. And certain others were quite supportive. But one person's opinion managed to get under my skin and made me feel like a fat, ugly, wrinkly piece of crap when I'm not like that at all. At least I don't think I am. I've been told that I look very young and most people wouldn't guess anywhere close to my age. But I guess no woman likes to be told that she's starting to age a lot.



Here's a pic, you be the judge:
