lesliepear | An update for a change!

Life is busy these days. DH is recovering from his fall – slowly looking better. He and I (and Alan who will never admit it) seem to be having some congestion/cold these days – but that’s getting better too. I actually did get a written response from the hospital president in regard to my e-mail – it’s a form letter like “we will look into it”, but it is something.

We had two birthday parties this weekend – one for twins in Alan’s school (plus a cousin of there’s). We didn’t know anyone – Alan only knew 2 kids other than the birthday twins – I’m not sure if not a lot of classmates were invited, or they didn’t come as the party was a bit far. The other was our friend’s son – a pretty low key affair at a miniature golf course – the place just charged 25.00 for a party – the parents brought their own food/cake. Alan was the only one who hadn’t gone to school with the birthday boy (we live an hour away), but that didn’t stop him. We would have gone back to our friends house afterwards – but DH wasn’t feeling well. We did make two stops on the way home, and ended up sending a very overtired Alan to bed very early.

Tomorrow, I celebrate my birthday with lots of kindergarteners at the zoo. Can’t say I’ve done that before. Later Alan and I will see Star Trek. I wasn’t in a rush to see it, but figured we could use my borrowed free movie tickets pass from cable (it’s my MILs cable company that gives the cards). All of us do want to see Night At The Museum 2 when it comes out – and I suspect one or both of us will take Alan to Up sometime this summer – not sure what else is coming out.

I do wish my broken toe would stop being swollen. I have 2 pair of shoes I can wear (one more comfy than the other). I guess now that’s it’s almost Memorial Day; I can wear sandals/flip flops at least - but wish I could get a pedicure. I am also amazed how quickly our summer plans are filling in – spotted some freebie concerts to attend and trying to find a day for the beach (at last) and a minor league baseball game. Still need a few last things for Alan for camp – name tags;towels and one more swim suit.

Next month the camp has an open house, I really want to go up there to see it. I’d like it better if I “knew” where he was – I’ve only seen a bunch of photos. It will be weird to have him so far from home during the day – he’ll probably be 45-50 minutes from our house – he’s always been with daycare/school 5-10 minutes from our house (even if DH and I were an hour away at work). I just hope that the camp will get him IN the lake and get him swimming. (I don’t want him sitting on the side like he did at Y lessons, they were a waste). I’m not expecting him to be a Michael Phelps level swimmer – just be able to enjoy water activities safely (and let me relax a little at the condo pool).

Back to work – things due today that don’t work, so someone has to fix. (I don’t fix, I just test…sometimes that’s good, and sometimes that’s bad.)
