No, I didn’t give up my blog for Lent.  But, I did give up beer (except for 1 night a week) and we all gave up television for 4 days a week.  Oh, and I gave up sweets, too.  The combination is not a good one.  I’m completely discombobulated.  I can’t even think straight. Hence, no blog posts lately.

My friend Maggie stopped by last night to drop something off.  Since the kids had NOTHING else to do, they entertained her by blasting music, showing off their dance moves, telling their favorite “jokes” and showing her their latest projects.  It was like they were on crack.  Or coming off crack.  I doubt she’ll be coming back.  EVER.

All I can say is thank goodness tomorrow is Friday and it’s a TV DAY!  WHOOOOHOOOOOO!  Will I get some peace and quiet or what?  Oh, wait… nooooooo!!!!! It’s the Blue and Gold Dinner.  With the WHOLE family and a WHOLE LOT of other families.  All going bonkers in the school gym.  You’d think that would be the perfect night to make my one beer night, but alas, there are no adult beverages permitted at Scouting events.

So, now I’m counting the minutes until SATURDAY.  St. Paddy’s Parade in the morning and a party to go to in the evening.  For adults.   We are getting a babysitter!  It’s the second time this year we”ll have gone out and it’s only Mid-March.  I think that’s a record for us!
