1st solo skytrain trip

• Today was really confusing.  Seemed like every single person in our house was disorganized and frazzled.  We didn't really even have anything going on, but we were having big troubles making plans and sticking to them.
• Lila, you've been stuck to me like glue since you started kindergarten.  You want me every minute of every day.  You want to sit on my lap, hold my hand, sleep with me and be near me all the time.  Today, to make things work schedule wise, you needed to go with daddy when he took Katie to her soccer pictures.  You cried and cried so much that daddy finally just gave up and you came with me.  I hope you settle into school soon.  It's hard to see you like this.  
• Jane, we went shopping at the mall.  We've been shopping for a certain item for a couple weeks now and this was our fourth trip out, but we just can't find what we're looking for.  Doesn't seem like it should be this difficult.  At least we have a fun time going out together.  Hopefully next time we'll hit the jackpot.
• Jane, you wanted to go to Tia's house for a sleepover, but because we were at the mall and I had to get back for a massage appointment, I didn't have time to drive you to Tia's.  You took the skytrain by yourself for the first time.  I'm a little nervous about you taking transit because your sense of direction leaves a little bit to be desired.  We went to the station together and I showed you which line you would be traveling on and which direction and the platform you needed to go to.  There were some Skytrain guys near us who had heard our conversation.  You went through the gates, and sure enough, headed straight for the wrong platform.  Lol.  I just laughed and shook my head.  One of the Skytrain guys went over and directed you to the right platform.   
• I had a glorious massage.  Massage is one of the things I actually take the time to do for myself.  If feels so good to lay in a quiet room and have someone take away the tension that always builds up in my shoulders and neck.  I wish they rented the rooms out for the hour after the massage too so that I could have a little nap after they're done and I'm so relaxed.  It's hard to get back up and dive into life again.
• Katie, you went to Marian's for a movie night, Daddy had hockey and Jane was at Tia's, so I ended up with an evening to myself.  Those three hours alone were so good for my soul.  I need more time by myself.  I need to figure out a way to get it on a regular basis.
