It’s Friday Already?

by Merry on May 24, 2013

When I stopped working, I thought I would have SO MUCH TIME on my hands that I might actually get bored.

Stop laughing all you stay at home moms. Stop it right now.

Yeah, it has not happened. Volunteer obligations, updating my blog, updating my “hire me” page, etc have expanded to fill the time where I thought I would be bored. Unfortunately it means that I haven’t been around here as much as I would like to either. It isn’t unusual for me to open my blog and think “What? I haven’t posted in how many days?” Oops.

So here are a few things we’ve been up to that I hope to write more about soon.

We went to see Mumford & Sons and it was amazing.

My little duck on his way to school!

And it has been raining non-stop for 2 days and I swear we are growing webbed feet….or maybe gills!

So what has been happening in your world?
