One morning off of preschool and this is what can be accomplished. Oh, and yeah, I caved on the TV ban, too.

Is it Friday, yet?
This week, though it was a short one, feels sooooo long!
I thought that I simplifying my life by signing the kids up only for swimming and Scouts this session. I neglected to consider that swimming is three nights a week! Tonight is the first meet of the session - it's a backstroke meet, which is Jared's specialty stroke.

Another year older
Yikes! Another birthday? What's happening?
Yes, I had another birthday yesterday. It ended up being a nice day. I got the kids off to school and went into the office (second time in 2009). Holly had suggested lunch, so we headed over to the restaurant FKA Tres Amigos. I got my favorite, beef & cheese enchiladas. Yummy.
It was a little eerie walking into the restaurant at noon and finding it was dead silent. Everyone was watching the Inaurural events on TV.
After work and picking the kids up from school/swim, we all headed up to Brighton for dinner. I gave the kids a few choices and they picked IHOP. Not MY first choice, but with a 4 1/2 and 7 1/2 year old, it worked. I had peach cobbler pancakes - highly recommended.
On the new president...whatever, thanks a lot, America. Happy Birthday to me.

Ahhh...order has been restored...
I love Christmas and decorating for the holidays, but it sure is nice to have things back to normal!
Everyone pitches a fit sometimes
I've once again fallen delinquent in posting...I could claim that I'm "too BUSY" or that I was sick...or that my dog threw up on my homework...but really, I just have better stuff to do! Not really better or more important, but keeping up with stuff like this blog and my scrapbooking has fallen to the low priority category.
I'm going on a scrapbooking weekend in Feb. I haven't unpacked my supplies since the same event last year. I'm going to take all of my Disney and Hilton Head pics and get those vacation pix into albums. The trip was last May - it's time.
Owen got in trouble at school today. Did you know that, in preschool, throwing a friends gloves into the frog pond result in complete ostracism? He says that everyone hates him, nobody would sit by him at circle, and he's staying home in bed tomorrow. Oh to be four. I'd love an excuse to stay home in bed tomorrow. Heck, I don't even need an excuse - just someone cover PDAC for me!
Jared is doing his homework, and I hear a lot of whining and foot stomping out there. I should go investigate...but I read the homework for this week. I expect that tonight's little hissy fit is directly related to the task "write a story in your own words using ten of this week's spelling words." Oh, the horror.
