First of all, thank you for all your concern over Lolly's future education. While the last preschool situation didn't work out, I'm hopeful that we've found her a good preschool for next year that won't require us to take out a second mortgage to pay. Let's all keep our fingers crossed, shall we?
This past weekend we went out of town for a mini-vacay. It was lovely. CG had to work in Logan on Friday so we tagged along with him and made a weekend of it. We relaxed, read, went swimming, built a fort, spun in chairs, went to lunch at The Bluebird, all the necessities when relaxing.
Our garden is doing really well and what started out as orderly rows of seeds has now grown into a jumble of chaotic garden goodness. This is the most recent picture, but it's grown in quite a bit more since then. Even the garden is living up to our blog name.
And finally, since it's been a while since I last shared a good embarrassing story, I've got one for you today. My neighbor called this afternoon to see if she could borrow some chili powder for a most likely fabulous dinner that she is making. I said of course and she told me she'd be over in a few minutes to get it. I saw this as a great opportunity to get dressed and brush out my hair. Don't ask....my Monday has just been a little rough, okay?! Normally you can see some of our front room rug, if not all of it, but today our front room is covered from one end to the other with toys, laundry baskets, a suitcase that hasn't been unpacked yet, a couple of pots for plants and a mini-trampoline covered in pillows and blankets. That's just the recognizable stuff. Use your imagination for the rest. I feel like it's my destiny to make others feel better about their housekeeping skills.
I'm not even to the really embarrassing part yet. It's coming. While she was here, we were discussing preschool. There is a Joy School group in our neighborhood and she was asking me if I wanted to be in it as well. While we were discussing it, a huge spider ran into the house and I was freaking out about it and was having a hard time focusing on the conversation. Yes, I know, I am much bigger than the spider, yada yada yada, but I'm still terrified of them. I kept one eye on it and was going to catch it in the cup once she left so that CG could get it when he got home, but when I wasn't looking it ran again and I don't know where it went. And, yes, I did freak out all over again when I realized that I didn't know where it was.
As for the Joy School, I told her I lacked the mental stability to do it. I have a feeling she believes me now.
