I know that I should be excited about my oldest being in Cub Scouts. I’ve enjoyed dropping him off for an hour in the afternoon but for the most part, it just seems like one more thing for me to keep track of. I’m already having a hard time remembering dance class, soccer practice, football practice, who’s library day is when, homework due this day, show and tell this day, preschool is here one day and there the next, plus church callings, Bryan’s work schedule and exercising. Cub scouts is just one more thing for my brain and I can’t handle it!
My sister is getting married in May and she has asked my daughter to be one of four flower girls. My daughter is so thrilled. She has grand plans for wearing a necklace with her white dress and having her nails painted. We got the white dress for a screaming deal at The Children’s Place. It was on sale with an additional 30% off so it was only $18. It’s a white eyelet dress with a few little silver jewels. My daughter loves bling.
I’ve walked 13 miles this week. And I’ve discovered that I am slower than I thought I was. I’m worried that I am going to be too slow for the Portland to Coast walk. Sigh. I also discovered that listening to Little Women on my mp3 player doesn’t motivate me. After two chapters I switched to the Jonas Bros. Yes, it’s true. Their music makes me move whether I am cleaning house or walking, apparently.
I’m reading a book by Anita Stansfield right now. It’s good except the characters are constantly weeping. It drives me crazy. I can see tearing up, blinking back tears or the occasional crying episode but the girl (and her husband) in this story are always weeping. She must constantly have a headache from crying weeping so much.
I watched NBC last night. I don’t mind The Office so I watched while I played Bananagrams on Facebook (those evil people put that addictive game online). Then I watched Parks and Recreation. My opinion? Too much like the office. My bet is it gets cancelled before it’s first season is through. Then I watched the second Office (it’s been awhile since I watched…why wasn’t Michael working for Dunder-Mifflin anymore?) and then I sat through 30 Rock. I don’t know why. I don’t like show. At all. And then I got sucked into Southland. It was okay. A lot of crude jokes. Some disturbing scenarios. I think it’s a show that will probably give me nightmares. CSI does that. I can’t watch. Cute cop in Southland though. I probably wont watch again though because it doesn’t start until 10:00 and frankly that’s too late for me.
We’ve got one practice tonight, three games tomorrow and we’ve not colored Easter eggs yet. They’re not even boiled. I can’t wait until my kids don’t believe in the Easter bunny anymore. I’d be fine with it if my kids didn’t believe in Santa either. Is that bad?
My beloved Jazz is headed to the play-offs. Hooray! I see trouble in their path though since they can’t win a game unless they are at home.
I really need to make myself a chore chart and stick to it. I’ve got to get this house under control.
That’s all for now. Have a happy Easter.

Happy Easter!
I loved this. I'm feeling everything you said.
Hang on, Activity Days is right around the corner for your daughter!
The Flower Girl! I'm loving it!
The Office is how we bond with our teenager these days. The one night of the week we are all home and he willingly watches the show with us. We forgot to tape P&R. I want to like 30 Rock because people are so hilarious in their love for it. But I have to be in the right mood, otherwise it's like overstimulation. I already live with some obnoxious people, I don't need them coming through my TV.
We are low key Easter celebrators. A little sugar cereal in the basket and we're good. Thankfully, my kids were on to the Easter Bunny. A big fat guy coming in your chimney could be believed, a rabbit on two legs carrying candy, not so much.
Like Kelly, my kids didn't get the Easter Bunny, either. They approached me last year and asked if he was real. I said "Nope." But Santa is still real, so, you know...
Dude! Good luck with your schedule...it's tough juggling things.
I am glad that my kids are still young enough so there is not a lot that goes on or a lot of places we need to be. I know that will change soon but I am enjoying it for now.
I think it is awesome that you are doing the Portland to Coast walk. If I'd stayed in Portland...
Yeah, I've felt the same way with Scouts...just keep swimming, just keep swimming...
I think every girl dreams of being a flower girl, and of bling.
The weeping scenario made me laugh. It just did. :)
I think you nailed it with the NBC critique.
I know that the day will come that I'll be freed from the insanity of Easter Bunny/Tooth Fairy/Santa...but that day can't come soon enough!
You know my feelings about the Jazz...gotta love em, but I say prepare for the worst. (Sorry!)
Chore Chart, oh yeah, me too.
Happy Easter, Amanda! Easter is my FAVORITE holiday ever. Dye some eggs for me.
Yes, the weeping is a bit out of control. But I still love that series. I feel your pain with trying to keep track of everything. Two words: google calendar. You and your husband can share it and you can color code each of the kids activities.
My girls didn't mention coloring easter eggs once this year. I silently said hurray.
You are going to kick everyone's rear walking at the PTC. You are doing awesome. Me? I haven't set foot in the gym in 2 weeks.
WOW girl you've got a lot to keep you busy these days! I don't know how you do it. I can barely keep up with the house and the 4-year-old, lol.
