Friday Update

What's Now

Not much has changed since I posted photos a month ago. We are still covered in snow, as a matter of fact, it snowed yesterday. Today it is a balmy 16 degrees. Certainly no sign of spring yet. However, the sun is shining (meaning the driveway should melt!!!) and the sky is clear blue. And, we are getting used to the cold temperatures - will we be able to handle 70 degrees?

What's New

Son 2 will be performing in the high school production of Godspell as John the Baptist/Judas. I know nothing about the musical except for one song. Is it offensive? I sure hope not.

Son 3 will be swimming in the league finals on Saturday, then on to States. Both have to take the SAT next Saturday. Fun times.

Son 1 got a new job and has completed 2 (3?) weeks of training so far. He quit his band (blessings).

Daughter is coming home (as in, we must go get her) for spring break next week. 

I have completed four weeks of tax season (6 to go!). I really do like the work, just not the crazy schedule. I am running ragged. 

What's notable

I will cook for as long as I still have stamina, then will be relying on what was put in the freezer. Hoping to make it another three to four weeks before then. 

I have no idea how son 2 will be getting home from rehearsals. Hopefully he will find a ride, otherwise he will have to wait around until about 5:45 when I can pick him and son 3 up at the school. That way I can work until 5, which means I need to get there by 9 am, which is not easy (did it once so far, and that was because I was given a ride).
