**Please excuse any babbling goo that streams from me tonight. I seem to be having one of those weird train of thoughts nights...consider yourself warned!
I have apparently subconsciously chosen to tackle my "baby-is-going-off-to-school" anxiety by filling up my schedule so I don't have time to freak out. Pretty good plan for me. That seems to work... as long as I don't get all twisty & anal about being so busy. That sometimes happens. I'm apparently a more high maintenance creature than I like to believe I am.
But at this point I have started to fill the next week & a half with stuff...outings. So far I have:
a couple of birthday parties
swimming lessons
karate
a back-to-school party
getting portraits of the boys done
a trip to the mall for misc. shopping (none of it school related)
picking up the re-done blue & yellows from our pedi
getting some forms notarized (which requires coordinating dh & I to be there at same time...yeah, right)
a trip to IKEA
podiatrist follow up
a breakfast meeting with the lady whose volunteer position I am taking over at school
our regular occupational therapy appts
2 lunch dates
a celebratory trip to Build-A-Bear
shopping for a big boy bed for Patrick
a scrapbooking commitment (please just "commit" ME at this point!)
printing out a whole bunch of photos b/c I "promised" people
...and that's just for the next 6 days.
Now the ironic part is that tonight I have nothing to do. Did you hear me? Nothing to do. Well, let's correct that. I have a Super Gazillion things to do. But. Nothing pressing. The boys have been in bed for 2 hours. DH is working on the pond (don't even ask). You might as well shoot me if I have to watch the Olympics. Sorry to you Olympics fans...I don't mind women's gymnastics or figure skating but I am just not a fan of most televised sports. Live & in person is a whole other thing. But on t.v. With an play by play. With an announcer. Just shoot me now. So NOTHING on t.v. NOTHING on Pay Per View. NOTHING on Tivo. I don't feel up to starting a new book. I have no magazines to catch up on. Laundry is caught up. Sure, I could start a new project or organize something. But...I am apparently a slug tonight in preparation for the busy days ahead. So I will either shop online or lay in bed and stare at the ceiling. Catch up on sleep??? Hey there is a novel idea. Let's try that!

"...into each day put equal parts of faith, patience, courage, work, hope, fidelity, liberality, kindness, rest, prayer, meditation and compassion. Add in about one teaspoonful of good spirits, a dash of fun, a pinch of folly, a cupful of play. Top it off with a sprinkle of good humor..."

Be glad you didn't watch the Olympics. I got stuck watching it with Phil. I'll never get that 4.5 hours back now. I should have gone to sleep when I had the chance.
I am with you...I love the gymnastics, mostly, the floor exercises but I watch other other ones too, and some of the swimming and diving. Growing up, we ALWAYS watched the Olympics, everyday for 2 weeks...I cannot do that or even have the time and patience...Like Melodie said, the open ceremony 4 plus hours...No way.
This time of year is HORRIBLE with TV. Between repeats and no new shows...Horrible!!! This is when I turn to Lifetime Movies...LOL!
That's funny, Debbie! I've been watching LOTS of Lifetime movies lately, too.
