The last Monday of April is upon us and these are the things currently on my mind.
1) Preston started flag football on Saturday and I think it is going to be a long season. His team reminds me of The Bad News Bears.
2) I met with Clark's counselor and he is taking quite a hard schedule next year. I guess he is not interested in the senior slide.
3) There are 6-1/2 weeks left of school and I think the boys and I are both ready for the year to be over.
Here are the pictures for the week.
As this week comes to an end these are the things currently on my mind.
1) Mother nature is off her meds again. After a string of warm days it was in the 20s again this morning. Preston was not happy that he had to wear his heavy coat again.
2) For some reason the boys are off school tomorrow for a professional development day. Not sure why they picked a random Tuesday but it is what it is.
3) Preston was writing a story about an alien and said that he wanted to watch a movie about an alien. I told him that we should watch ET since I loved it when I was a kid. He then proceeds to ask me if it is in color since it is so old! I'm like dude how old do you think I am? He's lucky he's so cute.
Here are the pictures for the week.
As this week comes to an end these are the things I am currently thankful for.
1) That my winter funk is slowly going away.
2) That I am making good progress on the baby blanket for my friends.
3) That Preston received a thumbs up from the dentist at his appointment today.
Another week begins and these are the things I am currently pondering.
1) After a loooooooong 6 months I think that we have finally resolved hubby's car issue (knock on wood). He bought a "new" car today and the dealer even gave us a really great trade in on the POS even though it is not running.
2) Of course we now have 2 car payments which is not ideal but it is what it is.
3) The weather is warm, we have more daylight and I feel my motivation coming back slowly but surely.
Here are the pictures for the week.
I hope that you all have a terrific weekend and a wonderful Passover or Easter if you celebrate.
1) Death of a Ghost Writer (Wye Valley Widows Book 1) by Gaynor Torrance: a nice and easy cozy mystery. Two of the main characters learn that they are married to the same man who also has a 3rd wife. Eventually they learn that the husband has been murdered and they must solve the mystery.
2) 10% Happier by Dan Harris: part memoir part self-help book this is an interesting look at how meditation can help us move through our lives with ease.
3) Without You: A Memoir of Love, Loss and the Musical 'Rent' by Anthony Rapp: I enjoyed the behind the scenes look at the origins of my favorite musical Rent from the original Mark. I will say that I was reading this book around the anniversary of my mom's death so reading about him also losing his mom hit me pretty hard.
4) Why Has Nobody Told Me This Before? by Julie Smith: this book tells us how to deal with the many problems we face in our lives that are very common but we rarely talk about. It did have a few good options for how to handle these different issues.
