OK, so I vowed to be more prolific in 2009, to write more frequently, to be forward-looking, etc… So where have I been for the past month? Let’s just say,things have been, um. busy… Yeah, it’s not much of an excuse, but take it for what it is…
Anyway, now that I’ve got a few minutes, let’s catch up, shall we? The weather around here is finally getting warmer, although it’s been a bit overcast/drizzly for the past three days, which kind of stinks. I’ve already mentioned that I’m not a big fan of this Daylight Savings Time thing. I do appreciated it around June 22nd or so, but the loss of an hour’s sleep, on a night when I’m already up until 2:00AM, does some serious damage to my well being and peace of mind, i.e., I get cranky.
At this rate, I may be cranky all the way through the 1st Sunday in November, when I get my hour sleep back.
What’s been going on? Not too much, really. Things tend to slow down around here in the Winter, and it’s been pretty much the get-up-go-to-work-do-some-work-come-home-do-stuff-go-to-bed syndrome. March is when things start to warm up, the crocuses and snowdrops start to bloom, and the grape hyacinths, mini-daffodils and tulips start to push their heads through the soil. The house gets cooler, since the thermostat doesn’t need to regulate the daytime temperatures as much, and the windows start to open to the first warm breezes of Spring.
W. made his first reconciliation on 02/21, in preparation for his first Holy Communion on May 9 (which leaves plenty of time to commit a few more sins…)
W. and I had a Cub Scout sleepover at the Liberty Science Center in Jersey City… All of the packs in the Patriots Path council had the museum to themselves from 6:00PM 02/28 through 9:00AM 03/01. We slept in our sleeping bags on the floor of the Breakthroughs exhibit (albeit lights out was at 11:30PM – lights on at 6:30, so maybe I got 4 hours sleep??) which was a unique experience, to say the least. All in all, it was a fun time.
March is also the birthday month – both K. (on 03/14) and Mom (on 03/29) will be turning the page on another year…
