MIA

I apologize for falling off the face of the earth. Life has just been crazy the past couple of weeks with my son’s birthday. To give you the short version would be to say that he had 6 celebrations in 7 days! One night in the middle of the week we were talking about all the parties, get togethers, ect and he said, “My birthday is kind of like Hanukah.” What an observation for a Catholic 11 yr old!
March always seems to be an insane month for our family. It starts with our son’s birthday, followed by the start his baseball season, followed by the start of the MLB spring training, then there’s the annual St. Patrick’s Day parties…of which we are regulars at two and they’re always in one weekend. After that we have my little brother’s birthday (one year younger then my son), and then real St. Patrick’s Day. This also usually coincides with my friend Megan and her family visiting from Texas during their early spring break. Then we have more baseball, even more baseball, and finally baseball. March is finally capped off by a week break from school for my 11 yr old in which this year he’ll spend at his grandparents. Thanks Mimi & Papa!! The third weekend in March I usually sneak in running the Shamrock Shuffle, which is a two day event because of the expo the day before, however this year I didn’t register in time, so I’m heading to Ohio to see my friend Amy and will squeeze in a dinner in Michigan to visit my Jessica. After filling everything in on the calendar, my husband was all excited to see that we have one free weekend day/evening at the end of March but then I offered to babysit my two beautiful nieces and keep them for a sleep over. I figure I’ll sleep in April!! Oh wait, didn’t I just get another invite in the mail?
