I’ve obviously been neglecting this blog lately. I apologize. Life has actually been pretty quiet and uneventful so I’ve just sat back and enjoyed the brief pause and taken full advantage of it.

This month (May) will be a full one. Gab has quite a few school events going on….2 field days and 2 field trips.

Paul’s birthday is at the end so we have that to plan.

And of course there’s Mother’s Day. We’re planning on going to the National Zoo in D.C. on Saturday before. I figured that would be a good day with the kiddos.

Normally I’m not a jealous person. But yesterday Paul came home and gave me some news I just about died over.

He gets to go to Dallas for 5 days in the beginning of June. I grew up 45 minutes north of D/FW and haven’t been back in 10 years. And want to very badly. But unfortunately I won’t be able to go with him. We just can’t afford 2 vacations. So I’ll sit home and pout while he’s gone and hope he brings me a t-shirt at least.  *sigh*

One of my dd’s really good friends is having a b-day party/sleepover tonight. It’s been a long time since we’ve done one of these…either host one or go to one. So she’s really excited.

I told dh yesterday…ok, 1 down, 2 to go!! lol

Of course I wouldn’t give anyone the baby overnight yet…he’s a good baby but I wouldn’t want him to worry or to scare him. So it’ll be awhile longer for him.

Meanwhile, dh hasn’t seen the kids in 3 days. He saw the boys this morning for about an hour, if that. Poor guy is working on a project his boss wants him to do. Unfortunately the boss is incompetent and stubborn and wrong about how to go about the project and by doing it his way, servers keep crashing and dh has to go fix them in addition to the project. Crazy stuff.

And this weekend is church General Conference so I’m looking forward to that. Looks to be a good weekend, hopefully less busy than the week has gone.
