tgif?

it's a dreary day today; in fact, if i didn't know it was the beginning of may, i couldn't tell the difference between a dreary february day and today, other than by looking at the trees. it's raining and cold, and would have been a great day to stay in bed and read a book, other then the fact that i do work full time and had things to do today!

i'm glad it's friday and the end of the work week, but i was busy last weekend with work events and i'll be busy this weekend, too, so it's not really much of a break. in case i didn't mention earlier, Dork also works on the weekends (he's off mondays and tuesdays....which will be the topic of a whole other entry...don't even get me started!) so, besides work events this weekend, i'm a single mom every weekend. it's great because i get her all to myself, but doing things together as a family like going to the park or taking a day trip are just out of the question. i also miss the times that he'd spend having breakfast with her while i finished my second cup of coffee and caught up on one or two chapters of whatever book i was reading at the time. that's changed, though, since he got a promotion, and now my weekends are filled with mommy and baby time.

i'm supposed to help plant flowers for a service project that my mom's group is doing tomorrow (but praying for rain so that we can stay inside in our jammies and watch tv and color together!) and am scooping ice cream for a work event sunday....but it's supposed to be cold all weekend, so i better dig the sweatshirt out and trade in my flip-flops for sneakers. and, given the only 'sneakers' i wear are pink & gray ralph lauren girlie-girl ones that aren't very warm, i'll still be cold! (yes, i believe in wearing sneakers to the gym, not as a fashion accessory....i'm weird like that...or maybe i'm not the weird one, but the people who actually walk around with suits and sneakers on are the crazies!)
