our Goddaughter, and plans

F is turning 2 tomorrow. How is it that Time escapes us so? We have been so blessed with her presence during the past two years of our lives...she is a lovely, cuddly young girl, the kids all play so well together, and we have much for which to be thankful.

Her party last night was very nice, although since A and the Baby weren't there, there was certainly a missing link. Although she was sick, it has unfortunately become quite the norm that A isn't around anymore. I suppose we all make our own decisions. It is too bad, as we all would like to get to know the baby, who probably isn't so little anymore.

The potpourri of thoughts I have now:

Mi cuñado isn't coming in, turns out, until tonight instead of last night, so we won an extra day to get the house all cleaned up (!!!). K is really looking forward to seeing him; he has yet to even meet C. Gotta get meals planned.

We also have to make a life insurance decision today. So much to think about. Sometimes I despise planning.

Another family wants to go in on 1/2 a steer from a local organic farm with us, each taking home a quarter, so we are trying to get that, as well, planned.

Did I mention school starts again next week? Lesson plans...

The boys need their hair cut today, so must fit that into the day plan.

Freecycle pick-up, toy clean-up, Whole Foods trip, chiropractor pop...so, what again is the plan?????
