another saturday

1 handed typoing, so that typo there is more accurate than usual. dd's almost asleep while nursing on my lap, but i need to go to the store at some point.

i went to karate this am because i hadnt gone all week. i like saturday classes, i think. except when ms. p teaches them because she makes us do stuff like jump rope and pretty soon i start wheezing. anyway, it was renshi M today and he's my favorite. i got my black tip so at the end of this coming cycle i can test for my next belt. woot!

we've been socked in with forest fire smoke for most of the week and the kids are bouncing off the wall. we've been going to swim lessons, but by the end, my chest hurts from smoke and i'm not even the one exerting myself. i ran in to some old LLL friends when we were playing on the climbing thing after the boys' lesson and before their kids' lesson. it's wild to see how big they get so fast.

ds1 says he woke up at 5 this am. he's silly and goofy and tends to fly out of control when he's tired. oh joy.

but the smoke isn't as thick today - or at least it's not as close to the ground because the sky is still mostly gray - so we are trying to get the boys outside. being outside has lasted about a minute so far. augh!
