Catching Up
A random Saturday post:
1. I’m working on doing a little catch up. Catching up reading my favorite blogs, catching up with the laundry, catching up with Facebook, catching up with the dishes and general house cleaning. I have yet to go grocery shopping. I am tired.
We have been very busy moving Starr to her new apartment over the past few days. This is one of those times I wish that my little family was bigger, that there were more than two of us and that some of these new family members were men…with big trucks!
I’m sore and punchy, but I managed all those trips up all of those stairs better than I thought I could…I’m still here!! We are 85/90% done and it feels good!
2. Sookie invited us over to a “parents brunch” this morning for the families of the kids who went to DC and Pennsylvania. She was the planner for the group and also put together a really fun video of the trip for us to watch. I have requested a copy, she did a wonderful job! It was nice to take a break to relax, smile and laugh for an hour or so.
For the record, the DC/Pennsylvania trip was a success. They followed their itinerary with ease, seeing all of the things they wanted too with little to no stress. I will have to hire Sookie to plan my next trip! I don’t have any pictures to share yet, as the kids were keeping them from us until the brunch and the video reveal!
3. Starr babysat for a friend of mine last Thursday night. Rosemary has two boys ages 5 and 3. Starr really enjoyed them, she’s been telling me very cute stories for the past two days. I am really not sure how the three of them fit all of that stuff into one evening, but I have been enjoying hearing about all of it! If I can gather my thoughts in a day or so, I might try to share a story or two.
4. In the meantime I will share this song which has been stuck in my head for the past few days, fortunately not in an annoying way…yet:

Good Morning. I’m glad to hear that you are surviving the move! I laughed at your comment about men with big trucks. I said the same thing to my mom when I was packing up!
I am glad the DC/PA trip was successful. I think Tara and I might be headed to DC for an over night trip. I promised her a night in a hotel.
The men with big trucks sure would come in handy from time to time! An overnight in DC sounds like fun!
i am gonna cry like a little baby when my kiddies go off on their own!!
and yes, i too will be playing catch up all week. then it’ll be time to catch up again
I try not to think about the fact that she is moving OUT!! I prefer to think of it as temporary, like dorm living…I’ve managed to fool myself so far!
What a big event. Wow. My heart ached just hearing about it. Starr is blessed to have a mama who gives her such beautiful wings. I wish we lived closer. I’d grab you and take you to Julie/Julia. Saw it yesterday, loved it, and have to see it a few more times. I’ll be thinking of you and keeping you in my prayers while you all adjust, sweet friend.
Thank you! Robynn, your comment made me cry…although it really doesn’t take much these days! …and I would love to go to the movies with you!
have a wonderful wkend!
Thanks Randi! I had to double check my calendar just now…it wouldn’t surprise me a bit if I had lost complete track of my days!!
My son moved to Colorado and all I had to do was wave goodbye when he drove away!
This made me laugh out loud! I can just see it… *sigh* That scenario is sounding pretty good right about now!
