Upcoming

I'm dreading it already.

I got out of "working" tonight (ie: editing, putting music clips in, polishing sound, what have you) but have sacrificed a couple of hours on Saturday to work instead. I just can't get into it. Tonight - I have excuses - I have to buy blank cd's, go Christmas shopping NOT on a weekend, pick up ingredients for next week's crock-pot meal, watch THE APPRENTICE, finish my Christmas cards, etc!

But Saturday?!?

Giving up precious 2-5 on a Saturday? It is almost too much for me to bear. I'm so incredibly burnt out and depressed and annoyed with the whole project at this point. I don't want to sit in a room staring at the same images I've been staring at for going on 23 months (okay - exaggeration - we started auditioning 23 months ago...maybe it was 22 at any rate - it's been a LONG time); I don't want to plug music in that we don't REALLY like but have to go with anyway because that's what we have and we don't know what the alternatives are. I get crabby just thinking about it. And no one, I repeat no one, wants to see Carrster crabby, right my Sweet Boy? *sigh* What if the snow that's supposed to come tomorrow ACTUALLY comes and stays? What if I'm just dying to put my x-country skis on and hit the trails with the Sweetest? Huh? Nope. I'll be stuck inside the J's g.d. apartment nudging this and tweaking that and becoming more and more annoyed by the second. ugh. I need to stop thinking about it. It's like dreading Monday morning first thing on Sunday. It does me no good.

And I DO have tomorrow off..so it's not like I'm REALLY missing out or anything. I just want to throw a tantrum, act like a 6 year old, stick out my lower lip and pout and cry and be crabby and NOT WORK. Is that so wrong?

Anyhoo - tomorrow's schedule: baking - pumpkin cookies, sugar cookies, gingerbread cookies, nut bread(?), cranberry bread(?), snowballs, dipped pretzels...I'm sure I won't get that far but it will be fun to try! Oooh - that reminds me...there are a few things I must pick up at the ol groc this evening.

Okay -enough bitching...I won't get to post this til AFTER my Christmas/Grocery shopping anyway but there you have it.

I should've done this a year ago....

A pandemic game time & conversation (via Zoom)   Well, we're about 13 months into this pandemic and I should've been back blogging then. I mean, I was home an awful lot. I could've done it. But I didn't. I wrote in my actual journal but that's a crazy mish-mash of stuff. This would've been fun to keep just pandemic stuff. Ah well, live and learn. I'll be ready for the next one (no, no, I won't). It's been a year...a year of ups and downs; of being laid off and re-hired; of wondering what to do with my life and starting grad school. We got fish, we got two kittens. What a year.  Kids have mostly been troopers but there have been some tough days. August went back to hybrid last fall, then everything stopped for a while and went back to 5 days a week in February - hooray! Dahlia finally got to start hybrid in.....February? (I can't remember) and then started back in person 4 days a week...but after her first 4 days she was identified as a "

Penguin Shenanigans

Image
For our 2020 Winter Reading program, there wasn't an overall theme. I decided to create my own theme. And the Penguins took over the library! I printed out real-to-life sized photographs of penguins...an Emperor, a Fairy, a Chinstrap and a Galapagos Penguin to be exact. I put them on the walls in one area. My hope was that kids would stand next to them and measure up - and they sure did! It put a smile on my face every time. Above each penguin I included some facts. Usually where they lived, what they ate and any quirky stuff about them. It's always great to be able to provide a little learning opportunity along the way. We also included penguin voting. I always think it's fun to add a pre-math activity when I can. I made 4 buckets with a photo of each of the aforementioned penguins. Kids (& adults) were able to ask for a "voting token" (ie: a saved bottle cap) at the desk and then put it in the bucket of their choice. It was fun hearing t

and IT'S A GIRL!! I'll do a proper introduction later and the whole story and everything but in the meantime, we had a baby girl. 2:15pm on Friday afternoon (I posted at, what? 10;30am? You do the math!!). Her name is Dahlia Marie and she weighed in at a whopping 6lbs even. 19 1/4" long and so incredibly gorgeous (although, I might be a wee bit biased). The birth was the most amazing experience I've ever been through and my mind is still, well, blown, quite frankly. I am so tired though...time for a quick nap before we try to feed again.
