Well, I had a three day weekend which means a LONG Tuesday!
Saturday the family drove to Lake Benton to visit Heath's parents and a foster child they had 8 years ago. We pretty much sat in a camper. Not the way I would have liked to spend my Saturday, but there are some things you just do to please your husband.
Sunday we went to the fair to see my friend and her family. I have never been to the SD State Fair so I was really looking forward to it. And when we got there, I was really disappointed in it. I thought there would be more vendors and such. To my disappointment there weren't. There were a lot of animals which Braelyn enjoyed seeing. I also got to see my friend that I miss very much. There aren't a lot of things I miss from Howard, but I do miss teaching with, talking with, and seeing her.
On Monday, Braelyn and I went to see Caitlin. I miss her too! It was good to see her. "The Ladies", as Heath calls us (my mom, aunt Kim, Caitlin, and Grandma), hung around and talked! It's always a good time.
Braelyn is getting to be such a big girl! Tonight I had her balance for a few seconds! I was so proud of her! It won't be long! I know she's going to take off one of these days. Ugh! I just miss her so much every day. I feel like I'm missing out on her life... Did I make the right decision to go back to teaching? Or should I have stayed home?

These questions make you a mother and totally normal. Only you can answer it though. I think most of us feel the pull of work vs. our children.
The state fair is a pretty sad event. Why is it our state fair? Why isn't the Sioux Empire fair our state fair?
Things that make ya go Hmmmm.
Katie,
I am sure it isn't easy to send Braelyn to daycare every day. I totally understand those feelings as that is why I do what I do. You are a wonderful mother and I am just here to care for her while you work.
I haven't ever been to the State Fair either and you just verified why...
Have a great day!
Ok, you all can stop the bashing the State Fair. HA!HA! I grew up in Huron and spent each and every day at the fair when I was a kid. It was the greatest thing. I still love going, maybe it is just the memories!!
