ready for the weekend!!!

Swedish fish for breakfast is ok, right?

Good morning!  Today is upon us and there's no turning back now.  I've been sort of dreading today because my husband has to travel for work and will be gone the next couple days.  It doesn't really effect me all that much since we dont see each other during the week but knowing he is far away and isn't coming home is always kind of hard.

I have a lot to do today and hope that I feel well enough to get a chunk of it done.  I have ingredients to make carmel candy or ice cream topping that will go bad if I dont get on my horse.  I need to compare insurance prices because Progressive is trying to assault me for a speeding ticket I got.  My renewal was like $85 higher and that was if I could pay all up front.  It goes WAY up if i do payments.  I need to vacuum downstairs tonight and would love to get the house in great shape so Josh would be surprised when he gets home from his trip.  Etc, etc.  I get these giant to do lists going then get upset with myself when I dont get things done.  Or I have a few days when my pain is kind of high and I dont get a thing done, save the bare minimum for my kid.  If i can get him fed and bathed and in bed, thats sometimes enough to call it a day for me.

Friday is getting-to-see-your-husband day!

Good morning!  Its Friday and I am so relieved! its felt like a long week, but at the same time not.  which makes total sense right? The husband is off work tonight, which means we'll get some much needed family time.  I love the nights when he's home.  It just feels so normal.  That, and I get to relax some, since Im not the only one home to take care of the boy.  I see a movie night in our future and perhaps some video games.  My 4 year old is quite the dancer and plays Nickelodeon Dance on the Kinnect quite a bit.  Its a lot of fun to watch.  If I ever get my YouTube links working, theres a funny video of his moves there.

I'm hoping to keep my nephew overnight on Saturday, I think Jack would really enjoy that.  He hasnt had a sleep over yet, if Aiden can  make it all night without getting too homesick, I'll try to make a fun night for them.  Maybe that glow stick bath tub swim and some happy meals.

well, Ive dallied around all day and not added to my post, so I suppose I'll wrap it up.  Have a great Friday night!

Spring is in the air and frankly, Glade has it all wrong.

Afternoon, no one at all.  Since this is my first post, there is no one to read it.  There's some comfort in that, as there is no one to disappoint.  But for those (any) of you who stumble across it later, hello! As a small introduction, I am new to blogging but am an avid reader of blogs.  And with my usual approach, I thought, I can do this.  Im a wife, mother of a 4 year old, 1 dog, 1 cat. Im a library technician at a lovely university.  Im crafty (I hear the Beastie Boys every time I say or write that), I like to read and play video games.  Im sure I'm lots of other things that are interesting or not, but that will come out with time.  I'm just looking for a place to share my thoughts, experiences, memories, etc and to have a small corner of my own.  So if you are here reading this, welcome to my corner.
