I’m Here! I’m Here!

Hmmm. So let’s talk about how I do this thing where I write a post and promise to come back and then another week of life goes by and I say to myself, GET THEE ARSE BACK TO BLOGGING, WOMAN!

Yeah. That whole thing.

UGH.

So, anyway…I’m just all over the damn place these days.

My weeks are crammed full of things. It’s hard to remember what happened on each day.

Our Easter holiday was pretty good. My parents had the boys overnight on Saturday so that Sunday morning Doug and I could go to church and actually listen the Homily instead of tossing a very fussy Owen back and forth and listening to Dawson ask “Is church almost done?” for the 80th time.

I was a little miffed that we had to grab chairs from the Mary Room (also known as the multipurpose room) and place them behind the last row of pews because all the Christmas-and-Easter-Catholics decided to venture out to Mass. I love our church. I’ve been a member of St. Bron’s since birth and I’ve watched the parish grow tremendously over the last 32 years, but honestly, when I can’t sit in a pew even when arriving 20 minutes early I get a bit annoyed.

After church Doug went home to do yard work and I took a long nap before we had to go to my parents’ house for dinner. The boys were sugared up because Grandma had an Easter egg hunt (oh, the chocolate and jelly beans they consumed) and they refused to eat any ham and potatoes (I wonder why?) and I was ready to go home after 2o minutes. I know I should love spending time with my family, but I think I was just exhausted. Starting the new job and getting into a new routine is tiring.

I confess I didn’t even take one single photo at Easter. I feel awful about it. Everyone knows I take my camera with me everywhere and I take pictures every day. That day I was just too tired.

The rest of this week has been busy. Work is going well. I love my new job. My hours are 7:30 to 4:00 and getting home well before 5 o’clock is such a bonus. I like what I do and my co-workers are really awesome. I don’t even know if I mentioned that I got a job at Sentry Insurance in the Premium Audit Department. I absolutely love it. LOVE it.

Dawson had his first T-ball practice tonight. He was so excited when we got to the field. Three of his classmates are on his team, as well as our neighbor’s son. He couldn’t stop talking about the practice all the way home. I’m just happy he likes sports. I think he’s going to have a lot of fun this summer between T-ball and soccer.

Owen went to bed an hour earlier than usual tonight. I was so relieved because I had some homework to finish for my Employment Law class. The topic is Privacy in regards to Social Media Sites and Blogs. Right up my alley, don’t you think? Considering I’ve been using Twitter since early 2007 and Facebook almost as long (or longer? Can’t remember), my report on the topic is sure to be an A paper.

That’s what’s up in my world. Life is good. Busy, but good.
