Wow - 2 months!

I cannot believe it's been two months since I posted! I knew it had been awhile, but not that long....sorry!

So, I do have good excuses why it's been so long though....
1. Owen had his tonsils out and it resulted in 2 weeks of whining and only eating ice cream. -10 lbs later he was feeling better and is now back to eating anything and everything all day long. The good news is his snoring is pretty much completely gone. The bad news is his voice is not as deep as it was before and when he whines, he REALLY whines. Hopefully it will be back to normal in a month or two as he gets used to using those muscles more.
2. Fred had his shoulder surgery and is now in PT 3x a week. That means me driving him back and forth to Augusta and sitting for an hour in the waiting room. 3  hours out of a day is a good chunk of time..and that means less blogging.
3. I'm helping to start a Farmers Market in Thomson. Seriously! It's really cool. We had our kick-off this weekend tied into the classic car show and had 4 vendors. We sold 56 quarts of strawberries, and our other vendors - Tink's grassfed beef and Johny Carter's flowers - each sold some. The fourth vendor, wooden wishing wells and birdhouses, didn't get any sales, BUT they were optimistic because they talked to a bunch of people. Our next one might include blueberries and some other produce and then in June we hope to explode. Feedback was excellent so that's a good sign! : )
4. We planted a garden - we did the square foot method - we have corn, green beans, cukes, peppers, lettuce, strawberries, tomatos, radishes, onions, carrots, watermelon and cantalope. It's all starting to grow and I'm so excited about it!
5. We've been working on projects outside and around the house - Fred did some brickwork along the pathway, I planted flowers and cleaned up some stuff, we moved a brick paver patio, dug up some plants that were in odd places and prepped for a swingset. Painting, ripping out some carpet, etc. also.
6. Ummm...I know there is more. We joined a church  here in town and we are all going to Sunday school classes also. That's another 3 hour chunk of time each week. : ) On Saturdays a group of girls get together for Breakfast Club. Right now we are reading a book and doing a book club - it's great to have some time away from the kiddos and just chill. It's such a wide range of women in the group and it's so nice to have all the different perspectives on things!
7. I'm prepping for teaching the PreK Summer Camp at the Y130! 2-4 year olds.  Hopefully we get some sign-ups..but if not, I'll have plenty of crafts to do with the kids at home this summer! : )
8. We went to two different Y dinners and the Board meeting. Plus a few focus groups on the afterschool program we are trying to get going! I got volunteer of the year for the Thomson branch - it was pretty cool. Got to go to a dinner with the hubby and friends and relax. The award is pretty nice, too...: )
9. Trying to stick to the budgetting - which is hard. Very hard when you have so many ideas and projects and thoughts......ugh.
10. Facebook. It's like crack. Seriously - I am addicted. When I'm working on Y stuff or menu planning for the house or writing this post, it's up in the corner. I <3 the Chat feature! It's so a mom's best friend...kids screaming? timer going? DOG BARKING LIKE RIGHT NOW?? Doesn't matter - the other person doesn't know and you can be witty and funny and banter and no one even realizes you paused to tell someone to be quiet, stop beating on their brother and picking their nose, or throwing something at the barking dog. It's great.

So that's that...the last two months in a nutshell. : ) Hope to talk to you much sooner next time! With pictues, I promise, grandma!

Hugs,
Katie
