My body was tired and achy today
as I recovered from the long weekend
full of family and friends.
I was on my feet pretty much all day
yesterday cookin' up a storm and
playing hostess to our friends
who came to take part in the fantasy
football draft.

It was great to be around the kids especially.
Everytime I see them, I am amazed at how much they've grown.
They all play together now and know eachother well.
The 2 year old of the bunch, our godson, is no longer a baby.
We haven't seen him in months...I think the last time was on
his birthday...and we just can't believe
how big he has grown.
Me and the SO were kinda sad that he didn't remember us anymore.
Before, he would instantly recognize us and refer to us
as "ninong and ninang".
Now, when I ask him what to call me, his face literally
turns into this big question mark.
he has no idea.

It's amazing how much time passes by between friends
and family.
Like a flash, it's 6 months or 6 years later, and
you never even had a chance to blink.


In any case, our time with friends yesterday
was good.
it helped ground me again.
i feel as if i'm ready for a new start again.


for now, I need to get to bed early.
goodnight!
buona notte!
