This is going to be a quick!
I was off from work yesterday (my other day off for the week was Saturday, and I spent that in Philly so I got absolutely nothing accomplished around the house this past weekend!)
I had hoped to get through the clutter and boxes in my bedroom. I got through about 1/2 of what I had hoped to. Two bags of trash later!
I did get a few loads of laundry done, so I felt pretty accomplished for the day.
I also stayed off the laptop (and my IPhone) for the majority of the day… those things are such time suckers when I am trying to get things done!
It seems whenever I have a day off during the week, Tara tries to figure out a way to stay home or come home early. You would think by this time she would be over wanting to be with me! I just don’t get as much accomplished when she is around. I get side tracked! I did pick her up about 1 1/2 hrs early, after she went to the nurse.
We have been having such crappy weather. I wonder if we will ever see the sun again! We totally missed the super moon!
I’ve got some pictures to share and stories to tell from my adventures in Philly on Saturday, but they will have to wait until I have more time at the computer.
Tara did get to meet two of her favorite band members from the group Attack, Attack. (Never heard of them? I’m not surprised. They are not played on the “pop” stations much.)
This is Tara with Caleb Shomo. He is only 19 years old. He’s been with the band since he was 14. We ran into him out on the street near their bus, and Tara and her friends had his undivided attention for about 15 minutes. I was impressed by his graciousness and maturity. He even took the time to shake my hand and chat with me a bit! She was so happy, she cried most of the way home! Some parents might dread the thought of being the transportation to concerts for their teens, but I actually enjoy the rides too and from. I love listening to the conversations! Helps me stayed engaged in what interests my girl! (Yes, if you don’t follow me on FB, or haven’t seen the picture before, my daughter’s hair is BRIGHT pink – she totally ROCKS it too!)
I had better run, it’s six minutes until departure time. I’m ready, just waiting on Tara!!!
That’s pretty cool you met that guy and he was nice. I imagine myself as a teenager and if that had happened, I would have been too nervous to even talk to anyone!

Tara really is rockin’ that pink hair!
How cool that guy let them monopolize his time – and was generous enough for a picture! Too cool!
The weather has been frustrating, hasn’t it? Is it too much to ask for more sun (but not more heat)?
Thanks for playing along, Martha!

I love driving to and fro with the kids and their friends…especially when they sort of forget I am up in that chauffeur seat. I love hearing what makes them laugh! The daughter has taken to whispering with some of her friends though…and I hate it!
