Bad, Glad, Mad, Rad, and Sad

Alternate title: Rhyming Catch Up

The Bad:
I pulled a muscle in my leg and it hurts! I've been hobbling around since last week. Probably shouldn't have hit the trail on Sunday because I was already hurting, but I was desperate to get outside after two snowy days.

I am BUSY. I finished four big projects last weekend that were hanging over my head, but I have that many more that I'm juggling now. I've deliberately been non-busy this entire year, but the end of the school year is just NUTS!

I heard the "s" word is in the forecast for the end of the week. Snow is a very, very bad word at the end of April.


The Glad:
My husband is home this week! He's had to travel a lot lately, but it looks like we're back to normal schedules again. I am so happy.

Dinner is in the crockpot! If you like Chipotle, you really should try this recipe. SOOOO good, and SOOOO easy.

We have 18 more days of school!!!

My grass is green! The snow is good moisture.

Glee is on tonight!


The Mad:
Rude children (especially those that don't belong to me) make me mad. Had an encounter with an unbelievably rude child this week.

I get a little mad when my kids ask me a question that puts me on the spot. That also happened this week. I may or may not have thrown a little fit and lectured all of my children about the future consequences of that.


The Rad:
This simple strawberry dessert is AMAZING! (I found this blog a couple of weeks ago via a link on another blog and she has some fabulous recipes!)

Went to Bingo for Books at Abbey's school last night and had SO much fun! Abbey even won a very fun prize.

My sister is pregnant and she finds out tomorrow if she's having a boy or girl. (Mom, she said she'd text Sarah to let her know!)

Have you heard the song "Crushed and Created" by Caitlyn Smith? I discovered it last weekend and it is amazing! Go listen on iTunes.

This is cool: Last week John was in Orlando. The only person I know who lives in Orlando is my cousin, Dave. John was meeting an author for dinner and as he was walking in the restaurant he heard someone calling his name. It was my cousin. (Hey Dave!) I think they were both shocked to run into each other. UNBELIEVABLE!!! What are the odds? He also ran into a college friend, and he texted me when he boarded his flight home that the pilot of his plane was a friend of ours who lives down the road. Who has those kind of coincidences???


The Sad:
I broke my favorite sunglasses. My sister gave them to me last summer (she found them on the beach) and they were just perfect for me. I tried fixing them with nail polish out of desperation and a lack of super glue, and my quick fix lasted all of 20 minutes. BOO HOO!

Our beloved elementary school is closing. The students/teachers are being relocated to another school building in our district but as the end of the year draws near, I'm getting sad. I'm on one of our school's transition committees and I got a little teary at our meeting yesterday just thinking about all the changes. I'm sure going to miss that place, but at least I get to see some familiar faces next fall.

Alright. My computer time is up! Peace out, peeps.
