I have to say this has been a pretty wild week with my routine turned on it's head! The Olders are home on Spring Break and will be until the end of the month; The Youngers are still in school, doing nothing, for the rest of the week.
Claire and Cole received their report cards on Monday and I have to say I'm very impressed with both of them with all marks improved over their first term report. Then yesterday both Chloe and Caden rushed home with their report cards and the good news continued with both of them receiving great marks and steady improvement. I have to say, I'm relieved since our winter was logistically crazy and I was afraid they weren't dedicating enough time to their studies. Clearly they were! Whew :)
I've been busy trying to keep things interesting around here, the blog here, maybe three posts on Sunday was a bit much? (So scattered I scheduled everything to post on the same day!) And I've been busy over at Feeling Scrappy adding content to the blog over there. If you haven't had a chance, head on over and check out what we've been posting. My entries are:
as we gear up for Sketchapalooza 6! Are you signed up, yet? Both Jayne and Becky have added some GREAT content and I'm doing Becky's photography challenge :)
I have been trying to finish up The Happiness Project and I've decided that I'm the slowest reader ... ever. Or maybe my problem is that I'm savouring every single syllable! You know, with the exception of the law degree, published works, residence in downtown glorious NYC and two adorable daughters under the age of 7, Gretchen Rubin and I are very similar! I am thrilled with my on-line book group, what a tremendous group of women. So thrilled to get a chance to know them and so glad The Happiness Project brought us together! I'm even more thankful for the uninterrupted hour spent in the parking lot last night reading while Cole learned how to be a football player (because it's not enough to participate in one crazy sport!).
Tonight has us off to the rink for the Rangers to play in the Tri-County finals vs Erin-Hillsborough. It's been so long since the two teams have played, I can't even remember what they're like. I'm sure it will be a fun game. While I take Cole to his game, Louis (poor Louis, since I now have to use the word "poor" whenever I think of my husband going to a rink - the parents and coaches are getting positively squirrely during playoffs and it has become completely contentious and unpleasant for him) will have to forego another of Cole's games to be with a bunch of squirrely adults. Ick. There have been three incidents in the last week that would make all of your mouths drop in disbelief if I were able to relay the stories. Truly amazing - and not in a good way!
I'm just hoping for another golden day where I can drive around running errands with the top down and the tunes playing!
