The Good Things in Life

Feeling the breeze on your face on a warm day, having a cold drink with some friends, staying in your pj's until noon, having no agenda at all, fresh cut flowers, planning a family trip, going out to eat with a gift card, having a pizza delivered, putting on a pair of jeans that fit perfect (that didn't before), having your child say 'thank you or I love you mommy', a completed project, no lines at the grocery store, a juicy hamburger, a clean but lived in house, clean sheets to jump into at night, and more time than you need.

Wishing all of you these good things in life during this Memorial Weekend!!

This Upcoming Weekend...

I have mixed emotions about this upcoming weekend. Friday night my husband and I are off to Fenway Park to watch the Boston Red Sox beat the Kansas City Royals. :) Having a four year old at home and the nearest family member 3 hours away, we don't get much time to ourselves. We're even taking the Amtrak done - YEAH, no driving into Boston during Memorial weekend!! Then Saturday we will be cleaning out our entire basement due to recent flooding and Sunday I will be finishing the Literature Review for my graduate class. Projects that I begin take me forever to finish. I need to learn to get things done more quickly. My hope is that on Monday (Memorial Day) I can just kick back and enjoy a glass of wine with the bbq my husband prepared. :) Sixteen more school days left until summer vacation!!

Is there time to get it all done?

Even though the end of the school year is winding down, there is so much to be done. I need to schedule summer activities for my 4 year old, write up final exams for my students, polish up my curriculum committee's report and findings for our accreditation visit this fall, clear out my basement for the cleaning crew coming next week, finish up with my graduate class, and not to mention all the other day to day events that take place - paying the bills, birthday parties, trips to speech therapy, etc. At least the good weather and time off is something to look forward to.
