Happily pushing the redo button.

I'm finally back, and there's no way I'm going to be able to chronicle the past 30-ish days so why try. (Wish I could blog at work but talk about a fishbowl. I don't even have a cubicle.) Just downloaded a new LJ app that seems way less cumbersome than the other one I was struggling to use. So this update is coming from my bed and I hope to continue journaling via tablet.

Haven't missed a day of work in the past month. Yay. I did go in late once but I've managed to work full 40 hour weeks for some time now. I took B for an eye exam on Thursday evening, first one since 2012. And E got a haircut last night, first one since November!

Today started early. Drove to E Htfd and back for Week 2 of B's 8 week SAT prep course. I did two loads of laundry. Took the older two kids to their dental checkup. Cooked dinner. Dishes. The usual. Tomorrow I'll take B to get new glasses and take A to CCD. Mom's taxi service. Never ends.

Some good news:

B got an invitation to apply for membership in the National Honor Society. He'll also be taking a college English course (for college credit) next year. And he's 99% sure that he's 'in' for a FREE Spring Break week in Boston next month.

We're renting a house in Cape Cod for a week in late June. Will be there for Father's Day, my birthday and our 6th anniversary. Whew, all that stuff happens in one week. Busy month, June.
