It’s been too long!
I can’t believe I haven’t posted in three weeks. I’ve been busy with work and at home. Looks like a bullet list is the best way to catch up on what I haven’t been writing about:
- MIL came to visit. We had a good time although she ended up with some stomach bug the last day of the trip. We went shopping for a dresser for Zoe’s room but didn’t have any success.
- I went to a water felting class with my Aunt. It was awesome. I still need to take pictures and finish up the project, but I’m very pleased with my resulting wall hanging.
- Parent-teacher conferences at school—29 parents came to check on their child’s library obligations because they didn’t get the report card. Many more have been paid in the last week or so. Today I printed senior library obligations and only 19 (out of a class of about 450) still owe something.
- Went to conference with AJ’s Kindergarten teacher. She thinks he may be ADD. I’m not convinced that it’s not 5 year old boy, but I also asked his old K teacher whether she thought he was back in October. I guess we’re going to have him evaluated and figure out what’s best for him.
- My mom and Vince got home from Florida and got to check out the house.
- Our taxes were completed and we’re getting a refund! Need to adjust the numbers to reduce the refund for next year.
- The Easter Bunny stopped by and brought baskets with a few things in them including spruce tree seeds that we can grow and plant out in the yard or woods around our house.
- Crazy relatives acted like they didn’t know us and pretended that we hadn’t moved. Jealousy rears its head in strange ways.
- Zoe turned two. (How did that happen?) Birthday party was lightly attended by non-crazy relatives. Crazies stayed away.
- AJ’s had numerous meltdowns in the last few weeks. Mostly related to me encouraging him to try reading things that he hasn’t already practiced but sometimes just because he wants to be a PITA.
- John was on a business trip and had good meetings and feels his job will continue to be secure for the foreseeable future.
- I’m enjoying the Kindle—especially reading the Sunday NY Times. I highly recommend it!
