1. Saturday we went to the Scout store for much needed supplies since I now have a webelo. I realize I have 4 very busy children and yes, it's a pain in the butt to take them into most any store, but it makes me even more self conscious(not to mention frustrated) to have a store associate breathing down my neck, 'trying' to be 'helpful', but rushing me out of the store at the same time. Lighten up, people. You might have made a bigger sale if you weren't so worried about my kids being in the store. Sheesh!
2. The big boy and the little boys put together a rocket and successfully launched it. I'll post the video when I get a chance.
3. Killed two pairs of jeans. Not really thrilled about it because that tells me I need get off my bum and start walking again. But a girl has to have clothes so HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME! I was able to go shopping for a few new wardrobe items. Yay!!! I have girlie shirts again instead of ugly old t-shirts all the time.
4. A friend from church had a mishap with one of her chest freezers. The freezer was accidentally unplugged by one of their dogs and, by the time she realized what happened, most of her food was partially thawed. She called up a bunch of us moms to come get whatever we wanted. Totally stinks that it happened but COOL BEANS for us. :o)
5. We went to Super Walmart with Megan & Chris today(they came in early this morning). We actually made it through the store without any meltdowns. We also made it through lunch with no meltdowns. There ARE such things as miracles!!!! ;o) Oh, wait. I had a mini meltdown after I realized that the cashier at the restaurant shorted me $5. But it was too late to go back. I guess that was my tip since I didn't leave one in the tip jar this time.
6. Only 2 more days until I have baby chicks!!!! Yay!!! I can't wait.
7. Also only 2 more days until I can start using my clothesline. Well, maybe three. We're waiting on the cement to completely set so we can tie the lines. I have my clothespins and I'm ready to go! I'm hoping we'll see a significant difference in our power bill.
8. My mom came over yesterday and mowed the yard for me. She even did all the trim with the weed-eater. She came back later and helped put up my clothesline too. Crazy woman! But I'm very grateful because it frees us up to get other things done that have been put on hold because of all the rain.
That's about it, I guess. Busy, busy, busy. Scouts tonight, dentist appts. tomorrow, need to get things ready on Friday for Easter Sunday because we're going to the Strawberry Festival Saturday. I'll be too pooped to party Sat. evening to try to get everything done for Sun. Whew! I'm a little dizzy just thinking about it.

Wow...that does sound like a busy week. I was going to make a smart remark about the "no meltdowns" and being proud of you, but then you had to go and have one about the money. ;) Wish I was there for the Easter egg hunt!
I hate "helpful" clerks too. So excited for easter I wish we're were down I want my kids to experience the Easter egg hunt.
