A little bit of this and that

We have had such nice weather over the last month or so, this week has brought some high winds but the temperature is still very nice. I have been walking a lot and getting some good exercise! Woo hoo! Love spring weather!

Had been using an online program to store all my recipes but wasn't as happy with it as I wanted (it was free so you know what they say "you get what you pay for"!) so I decided to create a recipe folder on my home computer and store it on a flash drive. I finally got all my recipes put in only to have my neighbor give me a stack of cooking magazines - I will, no doubt, find more exciting recipes to try out!

The kids have been invited to so many birthday parties lately I feel like we are constantly shopping for and wrapping up presents and driving all over to the different parties! I'm getting worn out!

Spirit has been practicing a specific song on his guitar to play for the talent show, he is getting pretty good at it, but I am getting pretty sick of hearing that song over and over and over and over.....

So when I volunteered to be the secretary for the PTO at school for next year, who knew they actually meant I needed to start now?!! It's ok, I have been having fun with it!

Not related to the PTO secretary position, I volunteered to prepare a flyer for the school to advertise for a supply kit they are selling. No one told me until the day it was due, that it was MY responsibility to find someone to translate it to Spanish. So I asked the principal for some suggestions and every one was "too busy" to help me. So then the school secretary suggested Google Translator. I did that and then got nervous it wasn't accurate. When I took the Spanish and put it in the Google Translator and told it to give me the English on it... ya, it did NOT translate accurately! So I ended bribing the Spanish speaking school secretary to look at it. Only cost me a Starbucks - not bad. I am SO glad she looked at it because there were several things she changed! Well worth a Starbucks to me! Funny thing is, the person responsible for copying it emailed me asking how I got Martha to translate that for me so quickly because she "never does anything that fast for me!"

Freaking out about what to do with the kids for summer daycare. I can't afford full time daycare for three kids and although the kids say the summer is short when you are the parent paying for daycare it is a LONG time!! 11 weeks of daycare is a lot and is extremely costly! I am hoping and praying for a mom I can swap care with OR a nice inexpensive college student to help me out!

Well, that's all for now folks! Have a good day! :-)
