Summer Break

19 May

My son’s preschool is out for the summer (WHY in the world they don’t go past mid-May is beyond me!) so that means we have 2 months to relax before he starts kindergarten at Tramway. I have already heard the “I’m bored.” whining this morning, so that means I have to get on the ball and go into full mommy entertainment mode. We’re signed up for t-ball already, but I need to get them signed up for swimming lessons (sign ups are every day this week at OT Sloan pool from 3-6PM) and maybe some other activities. We have zoo passes, but with the price of gas I want to stay close to home as much as possible. Maybe gymnastics for my little one? I’ll have to peruse the Lee County Parks & Rec book and see what else is coming up for us to do. I want to do as much as possible before school and the TSP starts interfering.

My oldest has also expressed a desire to give acting a try. At 5, I doubt he’s really old enough for any of the local stuff, but I want to indulge his interests as much as possible. If anyone has suggestions for this particular interest, let me know. I did check out the Temple Theatre’s site and it looks like he is too young for anything there, so I’m guessing this may be something we’d have to do in Apex or Cary.

Weekly Challenge #3

19 May

This is back after a 2 week hiatus while the kids had pneumonia!

1. Set a timer for 15 minutes and spend that time cleaning/straightening in a room that needs a lot of help. If you can, do it several times this week.

2. Wash all of your comforters, blankets, quilts, shams, and similar items. Pillows, too.

3. Clean your window treatments. Dust the blinds and take down curtains and sheers and wash them, etc. While the curtains are off the rods, dust the rods. Shower curtains, too!

Bonus/Alternate: Make the smallest room in your house (probably a closet, bathroom, or utility room) the cleanest. My small master bath is a disaster because nobody ever sees it, so I’m going to take some time and really clean it up!

Projects Galore

18 May

I am being overwhelmed by projects suddenly…and then Thursday I got word of a *Top Secret Project* (from now on known as TSP) that I’ll be working on that should be completed sometime in January or February. I feel like I don’t have enough hours in the day to do what needs to be done! I hate to say it, but my oldest couldn’t be starting kindergarten at a better possible time. I would love to put my youngest in part time daycare so I’d have 1-2 days a week for working but it seems like nobody in town offers part time care. That just means I’ll need to budget my time better…and maybe get a laptop so I can work outside while he’s playing, from the couch in the evenings, or even from bed when I’m tired and resting. I’ve been talking about getting one for a long time, but it now seems inevitable that I’ll have to buy one in order to get all of the work done!

Tomorrow I have to start making lists and timelines and schedules, but tonight is girl’s night out with several friends from the Triangle and Pinehurst. We’re going to the Melting Pot in Durham and I need to hop in the shower so I don’t scare anyone! I can’t wait to have some of that yummy fondue…

Sanford is such a small town!

17 May

So far, I’ve personally run into several bloggers from the Sanford Herald, Ed Page, and today I met Amy Burns while at the Shoppes of Steele Street. It’s strange to go somewhere and think that someone looks familiar only to realize you’ve been reading their (or their wife’s) blog!

Amy was so sweet (and WAY too generous!) and it was a lot of fun meeting her. She now probably knows more about me than she ever wanted to, but it was a lot of fun to chat in person for a few minutes. And even more randomly, our husbands have met before. I’ve never lived in a town this small before and I’m always so surprised when things like this happen, but it seems to occur so often that I’m starting to realize it’s just the nature of things.

And I am slightly embarrassed to say I have sampled many of her fabulous confections now and you just can’t go wrong. I’m kind of in a chocolate coma right now. Yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Jesus Christ is not a weapon!

16 May

I’m sure that makes no sense if you aren’t a Lost watcher. But I thought it was a great line and just had to use it somewhere!

So Losties…have we done our math? Aaron is supposedly 5 weeks old at the time of rescue. Didn’t Claire give birth within the first month they were there? That would make him more like 2-3 months old. That’s a pretty large discrepancy! I know much has been made of the time travel stuff and this makes it clear to me that there’s no question *something* on the island is messing with time.

Am I the only one who wonders what in the world they’ve been feeding that baby since a) you never saw Claire breastfeeding, b) there’s been absolutely no sign of a bottle or formula anywhere around, and c) she is now apparently dead, or at least missing? I am deeply disturbed by this and very concerned that nobody is feeding that poor baby. Clearly I have too much time on my hands…
