Hello!

I was pleasantly surprised that the board meeting last night was non offensive. I was rather upbeat when we got there. I am guessing that a lot of that was due to the two cups of coffee I had consumed an hour or so before hand. I also was really excited at the rain that made the world smell all kinds of wonderful. Granted, I did have to talk with this old kook that truly should be tossed out into puppy lake, but in the grand scheme of things, he is rather harmless.

I was starting to assume that I would need to either relist the stroller ads on Craigslist or just find a place to donate the old strollers. Yesterday I ended up getting emails for both the double stroller and the backpack ones. I am meeting the one interested party this afternoon at Target. He wants to pay with a Target gift card and has said that he would go inside with us to prove it has money on it, which works nicely since my soccer crazed son has already put a hole in his semi new shoes and I suppose as a good parent I should remedy that. The other person sent me an email and it looks as though I will meet up with them sometime tomorrow. Yay!

Yesterday my blog seemed a hint dark and I do admit I was feeling low. Not sure if my mom reads this (if so, Hi Mom!) or just has that mother/daughter Unagi. She sent me an email yesterday which truly was wonderful. She just wanted to let me know how much she loved me, which sometimes is all a person needs to hear when they feel a little blue.

We have tickets to see the Lego movie this evening. We were going to see it no matter what, but Ken pointed out that what with his clientele he really needed to see if before he saw any of his students next week. I don’t mind since from what I have seen of other Lego productions, this should be pretty awesome. I am a little concerned since we are seeing it late. Dax and I will most likely be the ones who will suffer in terms of feeling tired, but the comedy aspect of the movie should counter most of that.

I was a rebel. The boys have their jog-a-thon next Friday and I didn’t donate any money. We were supposed to get “sponsors” for our kids. It was one of those, get a couple bucks from people who supported your kid in their jogging efforts since all the students have 20 minutes to go as many laps as possible. Sure, I could have harassed folks for this money, but I opted to just sign the release form so they could run and didn’t turn in any money. I shouldn’t have to feel obligated to participate in every single fundraiser.

I asked the boys if there was any special valentines they wanted to get for anyone. Dax indicated a couple of girls, but it wasn’t romantic, even in the 2^nd grade sense. I still maintain this one girl, Jadzia, has a crush on him, but I really don’t know. I only see her after school and there is just something cute about it. Bobby is in the buddy phase of life and he has his little gang of guys. The only girl who constantly says hello to him, and to me on her way out, is his friend Izzy.

I have a picture up of Olivia Wilde at my desk and my boss actually asked me if she was Selena Gomez. I was surprisingly offended.

When I went to pick up the boys yesterday, I drove since the sky was threatening to open up at any time. I took the pups and we hung out in the car waiting. Lily was rather insistent that she was a very good lap dog. She would crawl over on to me and snuggle up like a little kid on my shoulder. This was sweet and all, until Luna felt that she should be given the same privilege. Let’s just say a 50 pound dog is NOT a lap dog.

Tomorrow morning we go work at Eydie. Hopefully we can get some good progress in. I think we will hit up Lowe’s on the way so we can choose the panel boards for the living room. We don’t have our skating event until 6:30, so we can work until probably about 5 since we will need to get back and cleaned up. Plus, the first 20 kids at the place get free hot chocolate. Not that I won’t get hot chocolate for the boys even if it wasn’t free, but I have already programmed the boys to know that free things are always better.

I found out that the skating rink is actually shutting down so that it is only Adams students and their families. That should be way awesome! I am really excited about this, despite being a bit terrified at how injured I will most likely end up. I may need to pad my butt.
