lately

Lately:

We have been playing catch-up from the plague of 2012.

Lots of laundry and grocery store going and such.

Lately:

I have been busy planning for a little somone's 6th birthday.

I am throwing a tea party for her and 5 friends for under $75.

It helps when you serve peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, serve homemade cupcakes, and the activities planned are a scavenger hunt and a dance party.

Lately:

I am grumpy. 

Lately:

We have been dyeing Easter eggs and I am afeared that my fingers may be permantly stained.

Lately:

I have found a church I really like.  And Ellie likes it.  And they allow coffee in the sanctuary during the service.  And they give you a Bible when you walk in.  And we are going again on Saturday night for Easter services.

Lately:

I have noticed that our backyard must be the secret path for all the stray cats in the neighborhood.  I have seen 6 different cats in the last 3 days.  One big old orange tom drive Atticus bananas.

Lately:

I have plans to make these.

I am going to send them in to Ellie's class tomorrow, so I don't eat them all...

Lately:

Ellie got her hair cut.

She looked all professional in the chair.

We bought a big round brush so we can try and recreate the straightening whilst drying technique.

Lately:

The aforementioned kid and I have been on the outs.  Wowza.

Lots of parenting happening all up in these parts.

I drop her off at school every morning wishing our morning had gone better.

That makes me sad.

Lately:

I am at an impasse on working out.

The sickness got me all unmotivated.

Must. Get. Motivated.

Luckily, my appetite hasn't been all that great.

So that helps.

Lately:

We have lots to look forward to.

Parties, and get-togethers, and fun summer plans.

Life is good.
