So, I am the person who knows where everything is. EVERYTHING. I am the planner and keeper of calendar extraordinaire. I know who needs to have what appointments, well checks, eye doctors, swim practice, dance practice....ask and I can answer......and then it happened. It happened in a big way.
Houghton has spring break from swim. I even got an email reminder of when it was. I even made sure to put it on the calendar. The only problem you say??? I was off by a whole week!!! Nothing to terrible happened. Houghton got a free hour of play instead of calling me to come and get him. He just waited for Dad to show up to get him. I feel a bit better knowing that he wasn't the only one, he had kids to play with. (FYI...the older groups still had practice so there were people/coaches there) I did learn that he does have an extra week off (total of 2 weeks off!) from swim. I am going to enjoy them, less driving and shuttling is very exciting!
So now, I have to admit that I am losing my power....mental power. Sudoku (thank God for spell check), crosswords here I come!!! I might just settle for a game of memory with Mary, that, I can still win.

Spring Break
So, I am working part-time this week. Mary had surgery last Wednesday to remove tonsils & adenoids. So far, whew...it's a bit rough. I went through it with Houghton so not entirely a new situation. She has been getting better but we take 2 steps forward, 1 step back.
We scheduled it this way so that it coincided with spring break. Paul had taken the week off already and we planned to go to Tucson to visit Julia, Rene and Mateo (and Bela)! So, we aren't going to make it to Tucson but, we're now ready to venture out.
I can say that for our first day of spring break....I took a nap (as did Simon), Mary pretended to nap until I fell asleep then went off to play, and Paul & Houghton went for a bike ride. Did I mention it's about 80 this week? I guess getting a big lazy nap isn't a bad way to start spring break?! However, exciting things today...I am doing laundry and pretending to clean off my desk by playing on the computer :)
We are planning on visiting the Zoo, Children's Museum and the park this week. (oh and I need to get my car in for service)
I did manage to get our cable cancelled....yup,done, gone, finito....and we don't miss it that much. We have Paul to thank for getting our computer/TV all put together...it's fun and I can still watch and DVR the shows I like, as for the rest...I don't miss it or Netflix....that has become much more useful.
