The band-aid, that is. Your mind is in the
gutter. The longer I go between posts, the harder it is to jump
back in. I feel like I have to fill in all that's happened and
that's daunting. I'll think, "Don't be an idiot. It's a
diary. So just write." As if. This is all about the
feedback. If no one every lol-ed me, I'd quit entirely, fame
(okay, just attention) whore that I am.
So. Here we are. School year wrapping up. We had our
End-of-Year-Picnic and Silent Auction yesterday. It went really
well, I think. I'd helped Ben's and Julianna's classes to make
class projects to auction off and helped to organized getting someone
to work on the other projects. Those class items did really
well. Better than the stupid baskets, so nyah. Some dude
paid $100 for the nightstand Julianna's class painted and made to look
like the work of a schizophrenic. Enjoy, oh arts patron!
On Thursday, I'll accompany Julianna on her 3rd grade camping trip. In
the Montessori school, third grade is the end of lower
elementary. Next year, they go to upper el, so this is a rite of
passage type of thing. We're going to Rocky Gap State Park
which is in Flintsone, Maryland. Apparently, I'll be using some
sort of sharp-beaked bird to play my phonograph records. We all
loaded up the wagon and went to Montgomery County to buy provisions for
our trip. There's an REI store, so we got the Hobitat 4
tent. It's a tad more money than the leaky $45 number I got at
Target last week. But I'm willing to pay to be dry. I'm too
old to shiver in the cold. Now my only quandry is caffeine--how
to get it into my system as soon after waking as possible. I'm unlikely
to be the only addict in the group (although, amusingly, the one other
parent with whom I discussed my twitchy distress is Mormon. I'm
sure he felt smug), I just need to find out who's making the Starbucks
run.
Lily's dance recital is in two weeks. Just in time for her to
reach that really contrary 3 and a half year old stage where she
delights in not doing what is expected of her. I fully expect her
to sulk and refuse to go on. I'll be sure to post pics.
And speaking of pictures, I have lovely ones from this year's fairy festival. I'll get to them. Promise.
Once upon a time, a blog was started at AOL Journals. The scales fell from the eyes of The Creator and it was moved to Wordpress. Then Journals tanked and all old posts were moved here for safekeeping.
