A week of lists

I’m feeling a little fractured this week, so I think the best way to show that in blog form is just to post lists, right? Ginger has already helped out with that by posting two BBTW prompts that deal with lists. And here is today. What’s with TODAY today?

** I’m totally overwhelmed by this whole kindergarten thing. Like, crying at work overwhelmed. We had another meltdown this morning because he left his lunchbox at school and so I gave him mine to use – a totally not girly red and tan lunchbox, mind you. He was hysterical. And he’s had three bathroom accidents in two weeks after only having an accident maybe once every 4-5 months before that. A kid hit him the first week, the second week another kid “accidentally” cut his shirt. He says he’s enjoying school but I am so stressed about it. Everyone else seems to be having a grand time with their kids in kindergarten – aside from the first day tears (of which we didn’t have any). Please. I need to know I’m not alone.

** We spent another weekend at Disney – is this getting boring for you? Because oddly, it’s not for us. Sunday we spent the day at Typhoon Lagoon (not my favorite waterpark, and I was a raging PMS monster but everyone else had fun) and Monday we went to Magic Kingdom which was full of awesome and 10-minute lines. We went on nearly everything. Seriously, 10 minutes for Space Mountain. On a holiday.

** The organic farm down the road has CSA memberships available and I always thought it was too expensive. It is a little pricy, but I was thinking if I do it every other week it’s half the cost (or if I can get my neighbor to go in with me on a full membership). I’m kind of hyping myself up for it. Fresh, local organic produce for 30 weeks! Talk me into it!

** I painted my fingernails. Aqua. I am not a painter of fingernails, but I rather like these. I have a work meeting on Thursday and they are not particularly professional so I think I’ll clean them off by then, but I think I’m enjoying blue nails.


** Henry spent his first two years totally attached to his father. Now he’s obsessed with me. I love the extra snuggles and to be honest I love his company but sometimes two children attached at the hip to me is a little much, you know? Spencer has opted occasionally to go w dad, but otherwise I have two children fighting over holding my hand or sitting next to me at dinner. It’s a little maddening.

Oh APRIL! This intro to Kindergarten sounds so awful. :( I am so sorry it is so rough.

Do the CSA. Just do it if you can. I have ALWAYS wanted to. It might help with meal inspiration?

Do the CSA. We did a quarter share with Molly's mom and it was great. Really, really weird stuff some times, but it made us think outside the box for meals.

And Spencer's kindergarten experience sounds truly awful so far :-(

We were pretty disappointed in our CSA but that was more the fault of the program - we just got the same stuff week after week. You know it's bad when you start getting sick of sweet corn. But some friends had us pick up their CSA one week when they were on vacation and it was amaaaaazing. Ask to see a sample box before signing up.
