Okay right after I finish this post I need to spend some quality time with the clipboard on my desk. I realized on Friday that Mac's birthday party was a week from Saturday...yet I did nothing this weekend...it was really fun though. I cooked and baked on Saturday so that we'd have a picnic to take with us on Saturday night...the symphony was great...they played Gershwin pieces with a jazz trio and did the most astounding performance of Rhapsody in Blue.
Sunday was the typical be lazy, but get some stuff done around the house day...we went to a birthday party for one of Mac's classmates and it was the first time Sean and I really got to visit with other parents which was really nice...one of the parents mentioned going to a reunion the day before for the agency she used to adopt her daughter from Russia with...it was the same one we used so she and I had a looong chat about that...in some ways it feels like it was another lifetime ago, but at the same time I started shaking the second I realized exactly what she was talking about...I guess time hasn't healed that wound quite yet.
Mac tried riding one of his friend's razor scooters at the party and really liked it so when we got home we got Sean's scooter out of the trunk of his car for Mac to ride. It's been in the trunk for years since Sean was finishing up his Master's Degree at Cal State Fullerton he would ride it to class...as Mac was riding it around Sean offered it to me for when I start classes there next spring, but I have no balance whatsoever so I'm going to just stick to hoofing it...Mac on the other hand totally has the hang of it...
So now it's time to buckle down and get tons of stuff done...otherwise I will be a weepy, overwhelmed mess on Friday night...going to try to avoid that at all costs...four days after Mac's party I'm helping my mom host a bridal shower at our house for her best friend's daughter which is just a couple of days before the wedding that Mac's the ring bearer for so it'll be Wednesday bridal shower, Thursday rehearsal and Friday wedding...it's going to be a crazy couple of weeks...off to make lists...
