Busy Spring Ahead

I don’t know where the time goes.  I can’t believe it is spring already and the trees are in full bloom.  The Chickens are 7 weeks old and huge!  No coop yet, but should be here next week?  Or so they say.  I have had to separate them during the day, so they don’t get after each other.  Four in the brooder, four in the dog kennel.  They (and us) are ready to be outside.

My parents came for a visit, and we went to Gettysburg and Washington, D.C. to see some of the sites.  It was really nice to have them here and I know the kids really enjoyed their Spring Break with their Grandparents.Emily finished the Patriot Program at school (memorized too many things that I could NEVER do!) and gets to go on a trip to Philly with those other students who completed the task!  Way to go Emily!

Ethan started baseball practice and their BIG Parade is this Saturday.  I am excited to watch him this  year, as he is really interested in it.  He has earned his Rank in Scouts and will move onto the Bear Den at his Pinewood Derby on Sunday.  The Pinewood Derby has consumed this household, as Drew is the Committee chair for that event.  We have been working really hard to make this a good event and I hope it all goes well!

I have had an interesting couple of weeks on the health front…a trip to the ER was involved, as I thought I had an aneurysm.  Thank goodness my good friend Melissa was around.  She drove me to the hospital nearby and Drew met us there.  We still don’t know what happened, but it wasn’t a stroke…or anything that they could find on a CT.  My blood work for the study at the U of M hasn’t been all that great either.  I am waiting to hear what they have decided to do with me regarding that (liver issues).  I am really, really hoping I get to stay on the drug, but will accept whatever they say.  I need my liver too! I think I would miss going down there, it has become part of my routine now.  However, there are always other things I could be doing…like housework…

So, I lost my wedding rings.  Really.  I am so, so sad about that.  I have searched every possible place.  It is just so frustrating.  I had them insured, but I don’t want replacements…I want them!  I have this very sick feeling that somehow they ended up in the trash.  My mind is so bad lately.   Left my cell phone in Gettysburg on a bench…lost my rings…forget to pick up things I need (even when I make a list…I then forget the list).   Hummm, I am too young to lose my mind!  (Said in a shriek!)

Now I need to start planning for summer Family Campout for Cub Scouts.  Just need to get past PWD this weekend…

Oh, here is a good quote from my son:  Easter day, we had a late lunch, so I assumed we would eat a late light dinner.  Ethan comes in the kitchen around 3 o’clock and screams, “Wait! I missed LUNCH! “.  I told him that he didn’t, we just ate late.  He pondered that for 1/2 a second and screams, “Then when is dinner?”.  I told him that is would be later…to which he yells, “MOM!  I AM A SCHEDULED MAN, DON’T YOU KNOW!?”.  Cracked me up!  He also decided that Monday was a good day to sell mud balls in the yard…he had a sign up and everything.  There he sat, in his new floppy fishing hat with a row of mud formed balls…25 cents a piece.  I was mowing and he stopped me to tell me that business wasn’t so good!  I felt so bad for him…he looked so serious!  So I bought some…and didn’t know what to do with them.  He told me to throw them at the fence.  Which I did…and it felt GOOD!  I threw $3.50 worth….

I love my kids.
