Forgot I started this!!!

Again thanks to my friend Mrs P., I remembered I started a blog. One of my main problems is that my life takes over and I sometimes forget to do the things that I like to do. Like write....read...breathe...!
One of the reasons why I love summer so...no schedule. Well, no schedule that I didnt make for myself anyway. I can sleep a little late...gee to 8am at least! I can read the paper that I pay to have delivered everyday. Have coffee out in the backyard with my husband in the morning and actually have a conversation with him before he leaves for work. Play in my garden. Do my projects that I make lists about but never seem to get to do during the year...like clean out my kitchen cabinets or put the mountains of photos I have in a box into a photo album. May not sound like a fun day to you, but anyone who knows my level of OCD can understand how those things call to me and how happy I am to get them done.
So today's the day we officially start decorating Sam's room. It's really the only room in the house we haven't done anything to. Unless you count the front room, which now serves as the catchall for impending and past parties, and around here there's always one or the other. Now not only does the 40th birthday loom...less than a month and counting..theres that block party that we are inviting 117 (yes 117) of our closest friends to. I told MrsP I wasn't making any more friends..what the hell is going on????????????I digress...back to Sam's room.
After much going back and forth, we finally found a comforter set and now have purchased paint. We will begin once Dad gets some spots spackled and paints the ceiling. I am not really into the actual physical painting part. I more like the design and decorating aspect. I need people for the physical part. But we may make it a mother/daughter project. We shall see.
Tomorrow, TP and I go off to CT for a wake/funeral of an uncle in law I really never knew. My dad (this is his brother-in-law) has to go alone for other reasons, so we are really are going to support him so he doesn't have to face the extended family alone. This trip should make for quite the blogging.
Which leads me to another thought. This blogging...I wonder if anyone would actually want to read it. I know I enjoy reading MrsP's. I don't know. I think I would like for more of my friends to do this. So I may share. I used to be quite the sharer during my St. Mary's Mom's group days..I have gotten away from that now. Sometimes I think I don't have that much to share anymore in a group like that. Lot's of times it's talk of problems. I am positively happy most days. Even if it's been an exceptionally stressful one. I know at then end of the day, everything I have is everything I need. And that's good enough for me.
Laundry beckons...gotta throw a load in before I hit the hay. Hopefully the lazy days of summer will remind me I like to do this. Thanks again MrsP.
Goodnight.

another Saturday

Here I am again. This is fun. Another spring Saturday. No company today believe it or not as long as you don't count the friends S&A have sleeping over. lol

Went over to the next door for "happy hour" at 4pm...didn't come home til 9:30. One of the things I worried about when we moved...was not having neighbors that were nice. We really lucked out. We have great neighbors. I feel like we have known them forever. We are so happy here. Moving was one of the best things we did.

Went to R again today for my hair. After 12 years of having a friend do my hair it was a big step to go to a shop. It felt weird the first time I went but this time was better. People there are very nice. This time since I was a more brave and went with the color I really wanted but was too chicken with a new hairdresser to try, I love my hair. Although it costs a small fortune every six weeks...I don't care. I refuse to feel guilty about it. Its all about maintenance as fourty looms...lol

I think this is a great idea

So after reading my friend MrsP's blog now and again, I have decided it is a really neat thing! So I am giving it a shot. I have friends and family that I don't get to see or talk to on a regular basis and this a great way of keeping touch. I would love if everyone had one. Leave it to the other MrsP to do it first, so I could copy! I really don't enjoy talking on the phone unless I must so this is wonderful for me.

Today was Michael's kindergarten orientation. I cannot believe this person will be in school full time in Sept. Blows my mind. Five years...sometimes I cant believe how fast it went and other times I couldn't wait for him to get bigger already so we could do more things as a family. (with a 14 year old sister and 11 year old brother we are limited to things we can do that appeal to everyone.) At least I am familiar with the school so I am not going to be worried about him. I know he will do great. He has a million friends already, some he made as an infant, some are part of the Trinity Brat Pack, and two newest pals on the block.

So I don't know who I will be worried about come September him....or me? A friend mentioned something about tequilla...anyone have a glass??? lol
