It’s April Fool’s Day. I only just realized it. I guess it’s lost its shine since I was little. That or my brothers are too far away to pull pranks on me and remind me what the day is……
It was so wonderful to see my family. The only drawback…my kids werenÕt there with me. Hopefully in June I’ll go again and take them with me. Anyone with a van want to trade cars with me for about 10 days?
I saw Laurel and family, Natalie and family, Celia and family, Craig and family, Nate and family and my parents. And if that wasn’t enough, also an old friend from high school that I still keep in touch with. I held babies, played with toddlers, listened to adolescents sing and perform musical numbers, made lip balm and lip gloss, talked to siblings for hours, hugged my parents, and took a kazillion photos, some for a book I’m illustrating and some just for fun.
I’m almost caught up on my sleep. My face has had an acne attack from all the different water types and soaps. I brought home an orange candle my niece Marisa made for me in a pickle jar that smells like….pickles. I’m caught up on work. Things are good.
I’m looking for a new home. I’ve outgrown this one and need something before the 1st of May. Anyone know of any homes or apartments that aren’t outrageously priced in rent?
quick recap for the kids:
1st, april fools and no way to prank you, 2nd, the entire cousin mass says hello and come visit, 3rd, your grandparents miss you and can’t wait to see you, 4th, i’ll see you in like 2 days.
grande love,
mom
