what a busy couple of days i have had. wednesday was my usual mommy-and-me day; thursday was BC's school picnic, which was a blast but which ate up most of the day; friday, my parents arrived for a whirlwind tour since BS was in school and i could do with the company; saturday, my parents and BC and i ran about to the LL Bean Store and to lunch before my parents set out for home. sunday, BC, BS, and i went to see the bowie baysox play the reading phillies (the latter, btw, won) with dear friend of ours including one of the cutest little kids to walk the earth, anya.

not to mention i had a work deadline in the midst of this, a minor medical crisis which i decline to write about at the moment, and angst. plus three close friends have birthdays this week. much to remember. think, think, think. and the roof leaking into my living room.

in short, i am exhausted. if i have forgotten anyone in the midst of all of this, apologies. i should resume normal programming schedules soon.
