February Has Come and Gone!

I can't believe it is going to be March tomorrow!! We have already been so busy this year. It just doesn't seem right that we are already pushing into Spring.

Most of this new year has been devoted to Junior Girl Scouts. This is cookie time and Olivia has been quite the salesgirl - almost 400 boxes already!! The sale doesn't end for almost three more weeks. She has really enjoyed going door to door and chatting up the neighbors. She did so well in the initial sale that she won the tie dye t she is wearing. You go girl! Today we have our first troop Booth sale - you know, set up a table in front of store and sell, sell, sell! And, of course, it is raining!! Thank goodness there is a TJ MAXX right next door to our location, I will be buying at least an umbrella and maybe a raincoat!

Rick has been to Alaska and is in England right now. He has been interviewing for a job (Alaska) and is teaching at Gary Oldman's alma mater in London. Yes, that Gary Oldman - Bram Stoker's Dracula and, more importantly, Sirius Black!! My hubby has been quite the world traveler! Oh, and the Alaska thing - so not going to happen . . .

I have been directing a show at school, dialect coaching a play at Actors Guild and, as always, doing the mommy and wife thing. Lately, the single parent thing too, yuck! I don't know how single parents do it really. I am in awe of their patience and energy. I have fallen asleep sitting up twice this week! What am I, 80 years old??! No, I am running after two darling children and all of their activities BY MYSELF!

Moving on . . .

Aidan has really been so much fun lately. He is really talking more and more, and I can understand him most of the time. He loves trains, dinosaurs, farms and dragons - such a little boy! I found this mini backpack at Target in the dollar aisle and, boy, does he love it. He wanted to wear it on a walk the other day - too cute!
