I am exhausted. There is just not enough coffee in the world to fuel this problem. Found on Pinterest, this cartoon pretty much sums up my days of late:

If you follow me on Pinterest or Facebook, you may be seeing this for the second or third time. I just can't get over how much this sums things up.

No, it is not for reasons of joy. I checked.

Last weekend, my husband indulged me in one of my To-Do-Before-We-Leave-Korea list items:
"Dr. Fish" are little fish that eat the dead skin off your feet. It's a fun experience if you are not squeamish, which I am not. It tickles a little. My husband wouldn't touch the experience with a 10-foot-pole, but the boys thought it was pretty hilarious. They couldn't sit still long enough to let the "wittle fishes" get even the teeniest nibble of chubby, yummy feet.

I'm keeping Ute and that MCCW over there in Hawaii in prayers. The Pacific Region Conference is quickly approaching. I'm not able to get over there myself (*sniff sniff*), but I am praying that it will be a fruitful and blessed weekend. I am hoping (*hint hint*) that Ute will cover the event here!

The age of three is about to do me in. On one hand, this age of exploration and ability is completely fascinating. And on the other, the temper tantrums, emotional melt-downs, and the way that simple directions spiral into full-blown defiance, well, it is chipping away at my defenses and wearing my patience very, very thin.

What do YOU do to recharge? I find myself so close to snapping so many times a day and am getting so irritable, that my usual quick fixes for sanity aren't holding me for very long. How do YOU keep your cool?

Our Catholic community over here did another Rosary Field day two weeks ago. You may recall my post about last year's fun and educational event in which we learned about the Luminous Mysteries. This year, since it is the month of August, we featured the Glorious Mysteries. The kids had a lot of fun doing "jump-ups" and learning about the Resurrection, "high knees" while learning about the Ascension, descending to the ground in "push-ups" as they learned about the Descent of the Holy Spirit, stretching for Heaven as they learned about the Assumption, and practicing genuflecting as they lunged and learned about the Coronation. This has been a great (and DO-ABLE) event for our community here! This was a brainstorm of mine, inspired by Peggy Bowes (of The Rosary Workout), though I am sure someone, somewhere, has had a similar thought. At any rate, if you are interested in getting more information about putting on your own Rosary Field Day, please email me!

#1- I have now pinned that on Pinterest. I am so there some days. That is why I make sure I don't EVER run out of coffee.
#3- interesting and it looks like fun.
#6 - I knit. For some reason it makes me calm.
Oh my gosh, I *loved* Dr. Fishie! Did you go to the one in Seoul? Actually, I think there are two there, so never mind. But isn't it great? I wish we had one here in Pittsburgh.
Oh, Debbie, I should go and find you on Pinterest!
Kayla, we are about an hour and a half out of Seoul but the we have at least three places within twenty minutes where Dr. Fish reside. I'm thinking my sons and I should go to weekly pedicures -- ha! I didn't see much difference after 15 minutes of nibbling, but my feet have TONS of dead skin. So maybe those fishes need more time!
Yes, I will cover the event! Right now we are really busy getting everything ready. Which is the reason why you haven't read much from me lately. But I think it will turn out great. I'm really looking forward to it!
In regard to being tired: I hear you! Although little girl is sleeping through the night now, yayy!!! So I'm hoping that in a few weeks, after the conference, I'm all caught up on sleep and feeling energized... Like right in time before things get serious for the next deployment !!!
