Kelly Mantoan hosts this carnival and I am getting used to her.  Go around and visit the rest.

1. After the snow on Saturday there was a respite during which I decided to hightail it up to Quincy to see my mom.  She needed some groceries and I hadn't been up there since the beginning of January. (My sister was there the end of January.)  It is delightful and hard, terribly hard to see her.  I reflected on how much patience I had with my grandma, my dad's mom when she was slowing down and forgetful and how I feel terribly impatient with my mom. I don't act impatient, I hope, but I feel impatient.  I realize that it has to do with levels of responsibility.  I was a kid with my grandma and I didn't have to worry about the decisions, I just got to enjoy her.  I am trying to remember that with my mom.

2. Drove back to the Lou on Sunday.  The snow was starting to melt. I am getting old for this back and forth.  The 2 and half hours takes a lot out of me.  Hubs had dinner waiting for me when I got home which was a surprise and a delight.

3. Monday was the book fair yet again.  I stayed for the Parent Teacher Meeting that evening. It made for an extremely long day.  It was not very profitable either.  I have concluded that the parent meetings are a waste of time and energy for the book fair.


4. Tuesday I shopped for groceries on the way home and had a meeting in the evening, making for another long day and Wednesday I had the book club kids.  I really like them, but they aren't reading the books for the competition.  I feel like not going to the meet in April.  They won't do well at all.  But, perhaps by going, some of the 6th graders will understand what they are supposed to be doing.

5. Thursday it snowed and everyone remarked that we should have had a snow day.  The book fair concluded and I was so glad.  I didn't even sell all of the seret agent invisible ink pens.  In the evening it was the Area Wide Prayer Meeting down at the Rigali Center, making for yet another long day. Except, I decided not to go.  I wanted to, but I realized that sometimes it is better to rest than to push myself into doing too much.

6. I am finishing up a quilt, the pinwheel one for an acquaintance.
Her baby was born at the end of January, so it is about time I finish it.

7. Nothing planned this weekend.  Yay!
