Disappointment and complaints

I've been in quite the funk this week after learning that my friends can't come next week.  I don't even know if I can express how much I have been looking forward to catching up, laughing, eating, drinking, hanging out, and taking them around NM.  Disappointment almost doesn't even describe my feelings.  It's out of my control and it'll still be fun for the kids to enjoy their friends, but really... I wanted/needed some girl time!  My sweet husband took me out last night to try to cheer me up.  It was fun.  And I love him, and I love spending time with him - but it is just not the same as hangin' with the girls.

We've had a ton of rain here lately - 4th wettest July in the history of ABQ per the news.  Loving the cool evenings, but the humidity is high during the day and with a broken swamp cooler it hasn't been fun.

I am stressing about the start of another school year around the corner.  Trying to get kids schedules organized and cover all the bases for subjects, activities etc...  I am still driving all over the place to get them where they need to be, but hopefully will give myself a 2 day reprieve if I plan it right:)  And with any luck E- will get her license by December and maybe she'll be able to take over some of the driving (if I can manage that!).

I'll leave you with a funny pic.  My friend posted a recipe for this drink on her blog - the Pom Selleck (I think originally from Rachael Ray).  Anyway... it was yummy and somewhat helped me thru my funk.  Still would've been better to share with my girls!  Cheers!
