idaho

this weekend is mother's weekend at byu-i where my sister "goes" (saying this reminds me of that awful movie "legally blonde" when the blonde girl sees her ex-boyfriend at harvard law school and says, "i totally forgot you go here!" like it's a grocery store instead of harvard law).

anyway, i'm a mother. and so is my mother, so we're going. we're probably going to skip all of the mother weekend activities (which includes a 5k, a dance and a heritage luncheon) and do our own thing (because our own thing is more fun and because all of those activites are lame--the 5k is lame because it is in idaho. in october. in the snow. bad idea).

aside from the fact that i have suddenly acquired a new wicked sore throat which makes me feel as though i have been smoking for so long my trachea has eaten itself, i will go anyway. i'm hardcore.

so wish me luck, my friends! i am excited to see my sister, experience the college where she "goes" and to take a break from mothering and entertaining two small children, unpacking an endless amount of boxes and cleaning a house that will not stay clean (especially with ava around).
