Mid May Already?!

It's hard to believe that it's already the middle of May. Our trip is getting closer and closer, and I'm not feeling anywhere near ready. I've been working a bit more than usual, and all that extra time doesn't come out of my free time, it mostly comes out of my housecleaning time.

Yesterday the girls had their spring choir concert, and I won't go into all of my aggravations that the only concert was at 2pm in the afternoon, oops, looks like I just did. But when I complained the nice choir teacher seemed quite apologetic, which went a long ways towards making me feel better. It was totally worth missing work for, though, as the song selection was a collection of folk songs and spirituals, and the girls did great, and Abby had a solo which she sang very beautifully.

My brother is in town, working on a house just down the street from my place, so I stopped by and saw it this morning, but scooted out of there quick like a bunny when I finally managed to get down the driveway, which was sharply angled and very steep, and he told me that a crane was arriving at any moment. I don't do so well with sharp, steep and in a face-off with a crane.

He came over for dinner tonight, and appreciated my pizza, and everyone appreciated the chocolate mousse cake thing that I snatched out of the freezer at Trader Joe's. It was delicious! Then we talked while I did the dishes, and conversation definitely makes them go faster, or at least, I don't notice so much that I'm doing them.

He's back at his hotel now, and at this point, all there is to do is go to bed and hope that tomorrow I won't notice the results of my lack of attention while doing the dishes.
