- My parents arrived last week on Thursday. They have tried already 2 times this month to make it down here. AND this time they almost didn’t make it. They had to take their car in to get the tires realigned from hitting a pothole. After that, the car was still shaking. SOO, they took it somewhere to leave and went and got a rental to drive down. I think had I not had a doctor’s appointment on Friday and in dire need of their help, they would have postponed AGAIN… So glad they didn’t!!
- Prior to their arrival my parents ordered us a new vacuum. I should have taken pictures at how well the vacuum cleans!! I love it!! I know it’s weird to love an appliance (is that what a vacuum is considered?) but I enjoy cleaning things AND to be able to see what I have cleaned. Love it!
- The weather sucks. It was nice on Thursday. Kinda nice on Friday and Saturday, and downright crappy on Sunday and today. Alas.
- Jerry and I went on a much needed date. We went to a movie and out to dinner. Sigh. The movie SUCKED! Dinner SUCKED! The only saving grace was the company and the fact that we didn’t have the kids with us. Sunday afternoon we went to an open house for grins and giggles, and then went to Target and Lowe’s to meander. So Sunday made up for it.
- The doctor’s appointment went well on Friday. Right now we are seeing if I have any food allergies. Then we will go from there. We did rule out my gall bladder. So that’s good.
- Grace CAN.NOT wait to go to school. Every night the kids get to ask one question each. She asks (every.single.night.) “When I wake up will I go to kindergarten?” Time is a foreign concept to her littleness. She will attend preschool next year, but she has a bit to wait until it’s time for kindergarten.
- Elijah was an acolyte at his school today. He’s always so serious when he is asked to do something for school.
- For Lent I gave up caffeinated soda. I have taken to occasionally drinking a Green Tea. It is NOT the same. Alas. I think it’s better for me, but I miss it. We’ll see if I go back after Easter.
- We are hitting the mountains for Easter. I’m glad that Easter is later this year. It will hopefully be warmer up there than it is now. It will be a nice break.
- I am writing this on a new computer. We have 6 computers in this house and none of the work. As I need one for work and need to work for a new computer, my parents generously bought us a new one as an early birthday present for me. Very nice to have something that works. Hopefully, this means that we can get rid of the other ones.
