It’s Looking to be a Great Day
March 27th, 2008
It’s been a busy week! As my friend and fellow blogger Heather put it, “It’s a lot of work being the mommy!”
How was your Easter weekend? Ours was fun and freakin’ crazy. I’ve just been running and running since. We had a great time with my brother and his family in town — enjoyed an afternoon at Hogle Zoo on Saturday, as well as an Easter egg hunt and dinner at my parents’. You can’t beat a trip to the zoo for some toddler fun! They loved the animals, of course, but I think the train took the cake. SavvyDad got this great shot of us coming down the track:
The toot’s favorite item from the Easter Bunny was a new set of toy golf clubs. Man, that kid loves to golf! Funnily enough, the in-laws brought him a toy sword home from England that makes a “ching” sound when you hit it against stuff. WOW. In one day, he more than doubled his number of long skinny things designed to hit other things. Just what we needed! :) Actually, he’s pretty good about not hitting or breaking anything. (Famous last words…)
SavvyDad and I celebrated our ninth anniversary on Tuesday. Nine years. That’s just crazy. Couldn’t imagine a better way to spend nine years, though! I love you, sweetie.
I frantically planted my lily bulbs yesterday after a grueling week of weeding my miserable garden. It’s done! Alas, I ran out of time to get the weed preventer stuff (Preen) on, and then, OF COURSE, it snowed this morning. SNOWED?!?! So, that will have to wait until another day. But the bulbs are in the ground!! The toot was an awesome helper — nothing like dirt and everything that comes with it to bring a smile to a toddler.
I have been working a ton this week and so am going to enjoy today as a day of relaxation and recovery. Since there is almost three inches of snow outside, I can’t work in the garden — no guilt there! I don’t have any appointments, so I can stay in my pjs all day if I want. Probably won’t, but I CAN. The toot slept great last night and is just a little sweetheart this morning. It’s looking to be a great day.
Hope you are having a good one too!

Your post makes me tired just reading about it. I am glad you had a down day too. We all need that once in a while. Good job on the gardening. I keep looking at mine realizing I need to start but can never quite make it.
