And Now we return to our regularly scheduled programming....

The hell quarter is over!!! I made my to do list for next week, completed a couple of easy tasks, cleaned my office, paid some bills and went for a massage.

Here are some random updates on our little Life:

• Jackson is still doing karate on Saturday mornings.


• Soccer practice starts on Monday. He is very excited. About half of his team is from his preschool class plus two children from his daycare. I am really looking forward to the social aspects of hanging out and getting to know the other parents better.



• We attended a school fish fry tonight, and again I felt like an 8th grader crashing a high school dance. Did run into a few people I knew, but Jackson was finished eating before we got invited to slide down the table to join some of the cool moms with older kids. I was sitting there thinking that in about 5 years, that was going to be us.



• Mom is doing better, but still struggling emotionally at not being able to do all she wants. Docs told her it would be at least 6 months before she would be considered "fully" recovered.



• My sister is coming for a visit in mid-April, and my friend Jenny and her children are coming down in early April. It will be so good to see them both/all.
  
  
• We are growing 4 flats of flowers in the dining room. The original intent was to save money and have a cool weather/spring-longing project for us to do together. It did not save money (it would have been MUCH cheaper to purchase them fully grown, I believe). Jackson liked filling the flats with dirt, but the seed planting was much too tedious for him. We do both enjoy watching our little seedlings grow...






We are dealing with lots of cranky/whiny voice/defiance this week. From both of us. I think we are both ready for some rest and a regular life for awhile.



Watching Jackson on his spidy scooter is hilarious. He whizzes by and likes to do his little tricks with his pushing leg. I now know how he can have a perfectly defined little butt and legs before the age of 4.

I truly hope now that I will get back to some regular posting and look forward to hearing from you (hint, hint, hint!).
