Sings a song in May:
Then in June another tune,
And then she flies away."

dyk will be home for 2-3 days with the kids this week, due to their rash/fifth's disease

dyk trouble is, i have to go all the way to work to print out my calendar to see what my meetings are!

dyk due to budget restraints etc, they won't give me a blackberry nor a laptop, so things like this happen..

dyk probably the 3rd weekend I have had to go in to either get email or check things!!

dyk I was good at printing out calendars ahead of time, but of course, forgot this weekend!!

dyk my children are animals


dyk they are making messes faster than I can clean - not being bad, just playing and spreading out across multiple rooms -


dyk however, I draw the line at the spitting at each other of water from their cups that they were doing in the kitchen just now


dyk I told them they are behaving like animals - and animals go OUTSIDE - so GO OUTSIDE and don't come in until I call you

dyk I really need to run to the bank but I don't feel like messing with Ellie and trying to load her up into the carseat that she hates!!!!


dyk Sean said he'll take it sometime today - it's pretty slow at work.


dyk so slow in fact that he's considering trying to get a position at another store - still Firestone but the one two towns over

dyk and I have conquered the clothing/laundry monster for the dya


dyk there is a load drying and then it's all taken care of -


dyk including the cleaning out of my dresser to switch the maternity clothes OUT and my reg clothes in - but only certain reg clothes


dyk half of them are being freecycled and then the half I did keep will be OUT once I figure out what size I will be over the summer and I am getting all new

dyk OK, I am caught up with April? will read March tonight or at the office tomorrow.

dyk we had a really nice Holy Week in Ávila with my MIL and then went to the Valley of Jerte to see the cherry blossoms(famous for that). Unfortunately with the unusually long, cold winter only 10 % were in bloom. My DH wants to go back next weekend to see them in all their glory! We did buy cherry jam, cherry liquor, chocolate covered cherries...:)

dyk Karri, I was sorry to hear you are sick on top of your sinus infection. Get better soon!

dyk Lindsy, I'm glad to hear you are starting to make a cozy new home for yourself, whether temporary or not. I'm assuming this is the place you were hoping to get???

dyk Cathy, I guess I will find out when I read the end of March's DYKs, but it sounds like your new podiatrist has new advice. I hope so! BTW ask your daughter if she has any friends studying abroad in Madrid... I share an office with the Marist Program Director!

dyk Rebekah, youch gout! I hope it clears up soon. Do you get flare ups often?

dyk Jennie, keep those baby pictures coming!! Love them. And congratulations to Abi and your mom for their talents!

dyk Teresa wow! flip flops this early, that north? Enjoy the nice weather while it lasts. My son, in Vermont, is bummed that there isn't any snow now that he has discovered the joy of skiing.

dyk Destiny, I'm glad to hear you aren't suffering from morning sickness. I was lucky with both pregnancies and blessed to not have any pregnant/birthing horror stories for you. However, while 8 months pregnant I parked my car, ran some errands, and when I came back to the car another car had parked so close to mine that I couldn't fit my belly in! At the same time a woman stopped and asked if I was leaving so that she could have my parking spot. I explained my situation and she got out, pulled my car out for me, and then parked. I still thinks she thought it was a Candid Camera scenario!

dyk hello to everyone else! I may be back after dinner...everyone is hungry.

Patri

dyk I have left 2 messages to make an appt for utility assistance with the girl who is in charge..... no return call yet.


dyk I told Sean if I haven't heard from them by 10am tomorrow, I am just going up there with all my stuff.


dyk our county has an energy fund you can use once per year for an exceptionally high bill or during a hardship period.


dyk a $488 bill for one month qualifies! haha

dyk for the last 3 days I have been meaning to drop off my rent check


dyk Sean is going to take it this afternoon - our landlord lives on the way to my parents - they are on the other side of the bayou - I had it with me - just plain forgot!


dyk I guess my entire brain is not back yet!
