Well, it’s been a time since I’ve blogged. Busy being a horrible mother, wife, daughter, friend, etc…. Boy that cubbyfarm sure has gotten in the way of LIFE this past week. But all (almost all!) amends have been made this weekend. A little bad karma for putting off what’s most important to me for work:
Seriously, I know I shouldn’t take a baseball bat to the mailbox personally, but….I can’t help it. In my brain, someone took aim at a random mailbox, however, in my heart I wronged someone and they are mad and swinging. I’m sorry to those of you I’ve wronged this week. Most especially to Denise, who had surgery on Monday, and was the first to let *ME* know how she was doing. Apparently my phone didn’t dial out this week. Inexcusable. Denise, I’m so pleased to hear you are doing well (and making it out of the house!) xo
My weekend started Friday after I finished my final presentation (YUCK, YUCK, DOUBLEYUCK! oh wait….YEAH! I’m done!) and rushed rushed rushed to make it to the movie theater to see “Horton Hears A Who” with my child who grew two years while I was an absentee-mother this week and my mum who watches Oliver all the time when I’m busy and provides him with as much love as I can give. Fortunately this started our weekend on the right track. And I decided that I would take pictures all weekend of all the fun things we do as a family. Celebrate family this weekend. So I know I’ve been really horrible at posting work your art series, but this is this “weeks”. Photo journal every day things. They don’t have to be good pictures. Just things you do everyday.
The weekend started off with snowstorms. Friday AND Saturday. We have a TON of snow, but did notice that our lilacs are in bloom.
We got back to our weekend routine….
1) Dump — love the look of this building. Not sure what it is, but it brings character to the dump’s landscape. Love the snow sliding off the roof. Love sorting recycling as a family. Crazy, but true. Every task can be fun if you try to make it fun.
2) Weekly trip to the grocery store — Oliver appealing for a cookie
3) A little Cargo and Woot — Favorite book these days. uh, favorite LIFESTYLE these days….
4) (yesterday and today) Playing legos (one of my “stock” lego photos — too busy playing to snap!)
5) (today) Tempura lunch lovingly prepared for me by Sweet Peter to celebrate a (hopefully) less hectic CUBBYFARM.
6) Eating ice cream OUTSIDE it was so nice. Too bad it was in a parking lot, but we couldn’t pass up the outside table today. Soon it’ll be picnic weather!
7) Andrew’s award ceremony for wrestling. They only said “bowling” — wasn’t it just grand that it ended up being GLOW BOWLING! Because of Cargo and Woot, Oliver was overjoyed. I know the picture is blurry — I have some that are not, but this is my favorite picture. deal.
Sweet dreams!
