Just a quick list of what abuzz around here (and in my brain) because, for the love of the Pope who is in town, I need to finish my mulching!
My schedule could not get any crazier. Between the 12 year old’s chorus practice schedule (she made the State Honor’s Choir…yes, that’s a brag) and her two soccer teams (she plays on a rec. team and was made the manager of the middle school team which means she gets to practice and not play), riding & dance lessons for the 8 year old, planning a bridal shower for my sister, trying to get my ass in shape so I can fit into the bridesmaid dress they already measured me for, planning my daughter’s 13th birthday party and keeping up with all of this divine reality television…I’m in a frappy frenzy.
Ali is the Bigger Loser and Chatty Natty is out!! WOOT!
Oh, and did I mention that my husband may be accepting a job in the Bay Area? Like…the California Bay Area. Yeah. And then there’s that.
And of course my daughter just lost her brand new soccer cleats and shin guards. The other one is slacking off in school and needed a firm talking to last night about her “lack of effort” (noted by teacher on report card) as well as her professional doctor’s handwriting. Meanwhile, I have put my therapist off for two weeks now and if I don’t go tomorrow, I think she may break up with me. Yeah…I can’t have that happening right now. Who will I call when I totally lose my shit?
Also, I’ll be Jazzercising up on Town Hall stage in Haymarket this Saturday during their Earth Day celebration. If you’d like to come and mock me, you may. Just bring vodka.
I truly and deeply apologize for my own lack of effort with this post but ummm, I gotta go. I got lots to do and the first thing on my list is finishing the damn mulch.
If. It. Kills. Me.
If it does, bring the Vodka AND call the Pope.
On a serious note, Jill Asher, co-founder of Silicon Valley Moms, DC Metro Moms and the rest of the sisterhood, has organized a bone marrow drive for this weekend in Palo Alto. If you are in that area or would like to learn more, please click over to help.

I think I know you well enough to guess that with your cousin moving to Virginia, etc., you will not be moving the household out here. Am I right? Cause if I’m wrong I need to know RIGHT KNOW so I can do this

Excuse me… Bay Area? Umm… you did not consult me on this one and I’m totally hyperventilating… Vodka – I can do but CA I cannot. I’ll need the name and number of your therapist so I can have your spot if you do go.

Bay Area?!?!
Oh my God woman! Obviously, you’re going to need someone to take care of that house for you.
I volunteer.

Ya know, I was always a little envious of your property. Until I saw that mulch truck.
Think I’ll stick to my little 1 acre property ;-)
(p.s. I’ve recently sworn off vodka so am mailing complete supply in tomorrow outgoing
)

You’re right. I’m not moving but you can dance because it means we will be out there a lot more. Like every freaking vacation
So, you can start planning date nights now. I can babysit. xo
Boy! that is a butt load of mulch isn’t it? What do you mean vacationing here? You have to come see us here on the beautiful Central Coast- We have a pool and lots of vino
I love the bay area, but I don’t know how you could leave that beautiful place you are now. And I bet you’d suffer from sticker shock to get a place like that in the Bay Area.

I spent hours on the road today, driving from MoCo to Columbia to Crystal City and back to MoCo. In detour of the southeast part of DC, so as not to get involved in all the Pope traffic. As I was driving and thinking about all the stuff I should be doing (including spreading out the 50 bags of mulch currently ranked & ordered by our driveway), I did take time to notice the lovely Judas trees that line the GW Parkway. They are my purpley favorite.
See my post today for more on all the chores and how I plan on

Glad to hear you are not moving out to CA, my heart totally skipped a beat when I read about his job offer.

Glad to hear you would never leave there for here. If you make it vanilla vodka I’d totally watch you spread the mulch.
That’s too much mulch for a little girl. You gonna wear yourself plumb out.

So jealous. I still haven’t bought my mulch.
Everybody in Jersey buys that horrible dyed red mulch that looks like ass on a stick. I refuse. Fortunately, that leaves the beautiful brown mulch all for me. If I could just get my happy ass down to the nursery to get some.
I’m SO glad that Natty is D-U-triple-N DUNNN. I can’t stand her and her theories and all the counting “there is eight letters in…”
I bet Matt will be SO excited to see her in the Jury House. Not.
