the_rckI ought to wrap presents today. Scott's going to be home all of next week, up through his birthday, so I won't have many windows for wrapping his presents. Also, I bought some dice to give him today, and those need to be wrapped. We'll see if I actually get my act together to wrap anything. I hate wrapping.
I wasn't needed for bagel Friday. I thought for a few minutes that I would be, but the other parent showed up while I was still deciding whether or not I wanted to step in. Cordelia says it's more fun for her when I'm not there. I guess when I am there she's busy thinking about how embarrassing it is to have a parent who's present at this sort of thing.
Cordelia's friend's mother has asked me if I can watch her kids next week during vacation. I'm very tempted to say no. If they come, I'll have to get up at 7:00 every morning, and Cordelia and I won't be able to do anything with Scott. On the other hand, it would be a friendly thing to do, and Cordelia would enjoy the company. She and her friend are planning to perform together in the upcoming talent show, and they need to practice. I just don't know. I'll have to ask Scott what he thinks.
I napped a bit after coming back from dropping Cordelia off. It was pleasant-- I was actually warm for a change. Usually, if I lie down to nap, I stay chilly the whole time.
This evening, Cordelia's Girl Scout troop has a cookie sale booth at Lowe's on Jackson Rd from 7:00 to 9:00. We don't know yet if we'll be indoors or outdoors. Scott thinks it would look bad for Lowe's if they put us outside, but I don't know. Cordelia and I will be going. We have to be at the assistant troop leader's house by 6:10. We're taking a couple of our chairs. I'm trying to figure out how best to mark them so that I know, afterward, which chairs are ours.
We still know nothing about the Girl Scout field trip scheduled for Sunday but the time. The assistant troop leader is the one in charge of organizing this thing, and she has promised to send out an e-mail today that will tell us where the event will be (the last I knew, she was having trouble finding a spot where we could build a fire without buying and bringing firewood). I have told her that, while I will go if I'm needed, I would rather not go. We'll see if she can find someone else.
Scott's parents sent me roses on Wednesday. The delivery person rang the doorbell and left them on the porch. If I hadn't happened to be home, the flowers would have frozen. Scott knew they were coming but was under the impression that they were going to call first. The flowers don't look dreadfully healthy even though I've followed the directions for their care carefully. Fortunately, Scott's parents aren't going to be stopping by, so what they look like doesn't really matter.

Date: 2014-02-14 06:25 pm (UTC)We'll just make sure that the seven year old has his booster seat so that we can go out if we want to. Scott was talking about trying to go to see the Lego Movie. He wouldn't mind taking all three kids (Cordelia's considerably more likely to go if she has a friend along).
I just have to decide if I'm going to offer two days or three and which days.

how lovely! Good thing you were home for the flowers.

Date: 2014-02-15 09:32 pm (UTC)I have suggested to the other mother that we take the kids for three days. That's almost the four she was hoping for. I thought that reserving Thursday for appointments and taking one other day for family stuff was a reasonable compromise. I haven't heard back from her yet, however, so I'm not sure what she thinks or which days she'll choose to send her kids over. Scott is thinking to take all three kids to see the Lego Movie and maybe to go bowling. He'll enjoy that, and so will they.
