August is terrified of bubble baths-- he panics and screams to get out. We think it is because he cannot see his feet. Yesterday we went to the Dr. for a checkup and shots and an actual blood draw on his little tiny arm, and he barely flinched through any of it. He was the first toddler they had ever seen who hadn't cried even a little bit. But you better watch out if all of a sudden he can't see his toes.
See? I have so much to write down here and no time to do it.
I started panicking myself last weekend as we started off Spring Break. I have this massive list of to-dos from the last five months that was not doing itself and a whole week in which to worry that it was not getting finished. I know, call me Sunshine. Anyway, now it's Thursday and we are getting there but I'd like another week please, and pretty, pretty please someone to clean the house and cook so I could squeeze some more out of what's left?
Thank you for all your words and the time you take to share them here. I am shamefully behind in answering questions and responding to mail in the way that I would like. I know you get it, and I'm pretty sure you don't expect much, but you know, I want to do better. This space and the people in it-- you-- you have given us so much.
Here are some more things:
- Jen sent us this beautiful package with gifts for all the boys. It came at the perfect time for Sam who has (finally and triumphantly) taken a shine activity books and drawing for more than five minutes at a time. And then, My Word, there is this sweater...
- I am sewing!! My sister is co-hosting a little trunk show up in B.C. on April 4th and I have been putting some things together to send up. It's going to be in Abbotsford (for those of you In The Know) and I'm wishing I could be there for it. If you go, please say hi to her-- her name is Sharalee. She's pretty.
- Nobody in this house has the flu!! August is making a full recovery and I am so thankful that winter is over (in theory anyway).
- I'm heading over to Bolt on Saturday for Susan's book signing. It's going to be good. AND I have a book to give away tomorrow, so check in.
- I lost so many plants this winter. My yard is full of plant carcasses. This is sad.
I'll leave you with proof of progress... Pillows for the show:
Okay! My parents are here and my dad is changing into his work clothes which may mean I should fill buckets of water or get out the flashlights, just in case. Also, he expects some sort of dinner food.
