No, that's not the name of my new band (but it has a nice ring doesn't it?) That's how I feel sometimes when I have a million things going on. I can't calm down, sit down, relax, etc....and yet I can feel sooooo incredibly slacktastic (like today at work) at the same time. How is that possible?

Current projects:
  • Figure out wedding invite template & print all the pieces, then assemble, address, stamp, mail (well, in July).
  • Set meeting with the minister
  • Schedule dress fitting
  • Dye shoes
  • Make favor tags
  • Assemble welcome packets (area info, maps, etc)
  • Keep garden tended
  • Finish scraping front door & porch windows
  • Prime & paint said porch
  • Finish knitting project
  • Register for wedding gifts
  • Buy cards for various June events (graduations, weddings, anniversaries, baptisms, etc)
  • Distribute DVD of NEWTON'S
  • Update website
  • Enter more film festivals to be rejected from
  • Exercise
  • Work on Guest List
  • Compile music play list (in iTunes)
  • Figure out sound system at lodge
  • Various projects that can't be mentioned here (get your minds out of the gutter. I can't mention them because there are some that read this that may figure things out!!)
  • Maintain....keep the house clean, the laundry done, the food stocked & cooked, the cats taken care of (ay yi yi), the yard mowed, the car clean - it never ends!
  • Oil change
It's a good thing that all of my friends are long-distance because quite frankly - when is there time? You people with KIDS? How the heck do you do it?

Oh and I have my "pick-a-child" meeting on Thursday for the mentor program. Um....did I say I have time for this? Am I crazy?!?!??

I am very excited about that, however. eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

Okay - with that said it's time to wash my face, brush my teeth and hit the hay. I started a new book (Michener's Chesapeake) and I'm anxious to read it. More likely I will fall asleep within the first page.

'night!

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

I figured it out....

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.
