I've witnessed the budding trees, the blooming flowers, the production of eggs, the geese nesting, and now the pollen onslaught, but I'm still in a bit of shock that it's not only spring, not only Easter, but that we're entering our first week of April!
This month promises to be a busy though somewhat fun month.
Election training -okay, that one isn't really fun, but it does mean I'll get a very small paycheck before the summer starts which is nice.
CBC Home-school Testing - For one week I'll simply be touching base with a testing supervisor to see how things are going for her and the high schoolers, and then for one week I'll be overseeing the testing for most of our church's home-schooled kids. The tests and information packets are in, so that means sometime this week I get to read through all the instructions and materials and pass out the director's manuals to the appropriate proctors. Not a hard job.
? A CBC Quilter's Group - This is still in the idea stages, though the idea of having a group to make quilts for all our graduating high school students has been tossed around. Seeing as we're this late in the year I'm not sure we can pull it off for this year. But perhaps we could get started for next year.
Bobby's Quilt - Seeing as I've missed most of the Survivor season (which is when I normally quilt), I don't think I'll get Bobby's quilt finished by May. By the end of the year perhaps, but certainly not before the summer.
A weekend vacation! We're actually going somewhere this month for 3 days! (and no, it's not to Alabama)
Garden - Come the last week in April I will be tilling and drop strange shaped things in the ground, and hopefully transplanting some tomato and bell pepper plants! The end of the month seems so far away, but it really isn't!
Birthdays - There are three birthdays in my family this month (one somewhat momentous!), so I've got some packages to get in the mail within the next week!
hOsPiTalItY - the very word makes me think "hospital", but we're going to try again at some point to have people over. The last three times we've invited people, every single family we've asked either already had something planned, or had someone get sick at the last moment. We like to joke that people just don't want to come to our house.
swimsuit shopping - my swimsuit is becoming threadbare in the back. I could order another one from Lands End (they're modest and they have my size), but a part of me is insanely thinking I might be able to find something a tad cheaper (yeah, right) locally. I was really hoping this one would last until I had dropped a swimsuit size, but unfortunately that hasn't quite happened. I have dropped a skirt size (why not a pant size...that's just crazy!), but my swimsuit still fits okay. We have got to have the craziest sizing charts in the whole world. They're almost as crazy as my April list of things to do.
