WHEW!

The weekend is half over and I am going to need another day, at least, to recuperate from it and the previous week. The kickoff performance went great, despite a last-minute panic when one of our team members didn’t show up. He was there during the day, for all the presentations, but after we wrapped that up and left to go to the place where we were having the evening activities, something happened and he had to leave, and never made it back. So we were left without our Uncle Sam. 🙁 Luckily, someone had the bright idea to ask...

MOVING THINGS DOWN

I have to post something just to get the last post down out of sight a bit… I’m still thinking about it, worrying about it, and wondering how all that affects our AWC club account as well. Good thing I color my hair, or you’d see how much grayer Barky is from this stuff, in just the past few days. Bought a pumpkin today, a nice Halloweenie one, kind of tall. I told the kids they were in charge of carving it. We’ll see if it actually happens before Halloween on Friday. The neighbors sent out the letter about trick-or-treating...

NEVER ENOUGH

All weekend I’ve been planning to edit and post photos from our trip to Toronto (almost wrote “trip to vacation”) but the weekend has been so busy that suddenly it’s nearly bedtime on Sunday evening and the farthest I’ve managed to get is opening Photoshop. Jet lag seems to be pretty much gone…just the dregs of it left, but that could be regular afternoon fatigue. I can’t believe I have to work 5-day weeks from now until eternity. We had all these short weeks in spring; it was crazy! Like 6 in a row or something and now? Nothing until...

BLUE SKIES & LONG WEEKENDS

O! Long weekend, how I am happy to see you! It’s Wednesday evening, a half-day today that ended even earlier since I had a doctor’s appointment to get my hurty shoulder checked out (inflammation, referral to naprapat, possible cortisone injection if that doesn’t work) at 11:30. The wind was blowing hard this morning but now it’s cool and still and the sky is so blue it hurts…not a cloud in sight. We have no plans for the weekend to go anywhere or do anything special…though some of us have things we want to do. Anders is going biking with friends...

ERIN GO BRAGH!

Today was a holiday (Twelfth Night/Epiphany) and I had hoped to get outside for a bit but it was pouring down rain most of the day, so I stayed inside and worked on projects instead. Anders removed the lights from the trees and took them apart. You should have seen the circle of green needles on the floor in the playroom! An inch deep! It took me nearly all day to pack up the tree ornaments, but I finally got it done, and then promptly covered the dining room table again with DVDs. I want to inventory what we have,...

TODAY IS THE TOMORROW YOU WORRIED ABOUT YESTERDAY

OMG two posts in a row! Apocalypse! I figure I can’t get bummed out and upset about the fact that no one blogs much anymore if I am just as guilty. Plus, I feel like writing, and whether or not I have anything to write about: here I am. I have to tell you a story and you have to promise not to laugh. Because I am really, really embarrassed about it. In fact, I think it’s good enough to possibly bump one of my top three most embarrassing moments off the list. Go ahead, go click that link and...

SWING LOW

With most of the family still sick or in recovery, it was wonderful to have a weekend that we were able to convalesce in as well as get things done that have been shoved aside by head cold, coughing, fever and general achiness. Even with being pretty productive, the kids and I got a lot of relaxation in and I feel pretty good about it, even if the part of my brain that is stressing about work had to be forcibly shoved back and down for a few days. Martin got sick 2 weeks ago, but only missed one day...

PREP WORK

We went to see Skyfall tonight, finally. We enjoy the Bond films and the kids have pretty much grown up on them. It snowed today, for the first time this year; we woke up to a powdered sugar coating but it melted during the day when the sun came out, though it never actually warmed up. More snow when we left the theater, having to struggle to get the door open as it was blocked by a group of young adults ensconced in sleeping bags and camp chairs, all waiting for tickets to The Hobbit to go on sale. I’m...

WRITIN’ SOMETHIN’

So much for NaBloPoMo this year…it’s already the fourth and there’s no way I’ll manage now, especially with going to London for 3 days this week. What’s on my mind lately? So much disjointed stuff, that I really feel as if I have no control over anything. Work has been so completely crazy that I can’t decide if I’m more relieved or stressed to be gone for 3 days this week. Last week, since the kids were on fall break, and I didn’t have to drive anyone home from school, I ended up working late every night. Thursday I worked...
