Trying not to let the winter blues set in, but it is hard. January is just such a long, cold and dreary month. I'm doing my best to keep us busy so hopefully, the month will move along.
Eden's fourth birthday is next week. I can't believe my 'baby' is turning four - how did that happen? We're having her party this weekend, though I've been keeping the discussion of it pretty low-key. After all, this is January and it isn't inconceivable to think that she could end up sick the day of and we'd need to reschedule it. But, if all goes as planned, we're having about 10 kids to the house for lunch, cake and games. She has all these adorable little classmates, so I think it will be a good time.
I'm on the committee for the big chance auction dinner Sadie's school holds every spring. This is actually shaping up to keep me very busy over the next few months, between meetings and the actual work. It's been a great way to meet people, too. Anyway, I plan to spend much of the long MLK day weekend running around hitting the bulk of my assigned list of businesses to hit up for donations.
The following weekend, we are going away to the Poconos for the weekend with the Gills. This will be a blast, I'm sure. We're going to tube at Camelback one day and hit the local sledding hill the other. If I hadn't sworn off alcohol for the next 7 weeks (trying desperately to get bathing suit ready for our FL trip), I would say I was looking forward to lots of partying after the kids were in bed. Oh well, I suppose one can party with perrier, right???
The last weekend of the month we've got Saturday night plans with the game night crowd at Melanie and Dave's and a tentative plan to head into the city on Sunday.
So, there you have it...I've just raced us through this dreaded month in the space of four paragraphs. Let's see how that works out. ;)
