My Monday Summary - Pretend You Care

Holy moley this may be a post about nothing. Consider that your official warning.

I did a post for B-Metro today. Which you are required to read now. So go. Then come back. I’ll miss you. And please don’t freak out about the creepy hand picture. It scared me.

…

(did you read it?) (LIAR!)

And then I worked with Kelly from twenty70 on her contest to sponsor a BlogHer gal for the conference this August in New York City. Have you entered yet? Because you should.

Can anyone else say/type “New York City” without recalling that Ole El Paso commercial? Just me? Oops.

This morning I dove face first into an empty pool known as “Daylight Savings Change After A Week Of Spring Break”. It hurt. A lot. For instance, when I woke up at “7” it felt more like 6, because dudes - it was, only in disguise. It was also dark. Mommy hold me.

But shockingly, Conner and Chase have adapted quite well. They’ve been going down easily around 9:15 (“8:15”), Chase is taking his regular naps starting at about 12 (which is the exact time he went down pre-time change) and is up at his normal time as well. The only thing that’s really changed is instead of forcing Conner from his bed around 8 AM, he’s wide awake around 7:15. Not sure why. Other than he needs to go down earlier when we aren’t in this version of daylightswhatevermovingon.

Chase, dear Lord help me, is climbing into my bed, diaper-free, and whizzing on me (while I’m TRYING TO SLEEP) sometime around 5:45 AM.

Save me?

And then I met my new B.F.F. She says we carried water in jugs on our heads together in a past life. Read her blog because it’s like an extension of this blog and you’ll love it, so go. After of course, you *actually* read my B-Metro piece since you lied to me earlier and didn’t.

I’m onto you.

Ssshh. Don't tell Winter.

[Here for the BlogHer Sponsorship? Check this post!]

SSSssssshhh. Be very quiet. I may have some sensitive information, and I'm afraid if we all panic, it'll leave.

It may be Spring.

I've got to say that I have no idea how I made it out of Winter alive. Such a crappy time for me mixed in with the blah weather and I was a Ball of Mess. 

Then this week, it was Spring Break for Conner. I had a few reservations about having an entire week without school. Fortunately, this week we also "sprang forward" and having an entire week to readjust was perfect timing. Feel free to insert your own rant here about stupid Benjamin Franklin and his hogwash idea. I'm not a farmer (.... does Farmville count?), ergo, I don't give a crap about when the sun comes up.

You know that participation in Daylight Savings is something you can choose? You actually can VOTE on it? Arizona and Hawaii don't use it. Indiana only started in 2006.

This is not a post about daylight savings.

It's about the fact that it's absolutely gorgeous outside. The weather today? 72 and slightly breezy. The trees are blooming and the grass is practically neon green. 

I am NOT normally a "oooh! look at the blooming flowers! all the signs of life! yay earth!" kind of gal. As a matter of fact, I'm allergic to Spring - or better, I'm allergic to all trees, most grass, flowers and basically anything else that pollinates.

By this time every year, I'm rubbing my eyes, dosed up on allergy medication, and hiding indoors. For some reason, this hasn't hit me yet, so I actually have the windows open in my house!

Something I can normally never do.

We went to feed the geese at Montgomery's (only fun thing to do) (aghem) Shakespeare Park. It's been so nice lately that the geese weren't hungry and the pond was full of uneaten bread.

Chase refuses to accept that the bread is for the geese. Not a snack.

Don't worry. They are a lot closer to the ground than you think. Chase's thoughts on the whole picture thing.

And now that I've posted these, I'm sure to be a swollen, snotty mess by tomorrow.
