It's going to be a Mommy week. Yesterday was the class Easter Party in the morning (we hid 150 Easter Eggs in the class before the kids even arrived --10 per child and then we couldn't find them all :) ) and spent yesterday afternoon collecting more info for the school's new website. I spend this morning with the school's librarian picking out graphics for the site. Tomorrow it's coloring eggs after school at the BF's house and T-Ball practice. Vacation starts Thursday--we're having lunch with Grandma and Grandpa, and Saturday is the Little League Parade and his first official T-Ball game.
But evenings are mine and I'm going to make a good dent in that TBR pile. Right now I'm reading the new Jane Feather.
Have a good one and happy reading.

Rambling
Last night our school had a financial meeting, it seems the powers that be in the Parent Guild want us to have all our ducks in a row before our new pastor arrives in July. I volunteered for 2 committees. I know what am I thinking?? LOL
On the way to the meeting I stopped at the library and picked up Innocent in Death, it turns out I was first in the queue :D I've only got it for a week, so it moved up to the top of my TBR pile. I've got about 100 pages left, I'll probably have it finished before I go to bed.
It was one of those weird days, we had a 2 hour delay for school this morning because of ice, but since it's "First Friday" he only had half a day. Dropped the child off at 10:25 and picked him up at Noon. First Friday also means he can have a Happy Meal or BK Kids Meal for lunch. I spent time on-line research for one of the new committees, and putting the finishing touches on my next RTB column. And spent a large chunk of the afternoon reading while Junior watched The Polar Express for the 1000th time. Made fish tacos and rice for dinner--no meat on Fridays, to be honest I can live without fish tacos and I don't eat rice.
I'm just rambling. Have a good one and happy reading.

Every morning this week I've been up and out of the house early, taking Junior to school and then running errands. Today I had nothing planned, the only day this week I drove the child to school in my pajamas, bed head and no shower. And of course, today the Little League Supervisor wants to talk about making sure all the Kindergarteners that want to play are registered. Somehow this has become my job. I guess because I was actually organized enough to get him registered for Spring T-Ball last fall, which in and of itself is amazing. So I came home made up a flier for the school folder and am heading back to make sure it goes home with the kids tonight.
Junior announced this morning he was giving up whining for Lent. He's not really much of a whiner, but he can work that bottom lip with the best of them when he's not getting his way, and he's big on trying the "but Mom..." argument, which he still hasn't figured out doesn't work. I doubt this will last until after school today, but we'll see.
Have a good one and hopefully someone out there is reading something super fantastic, because everything I'm picking up stinks.

Busy Day...
It's a running day...
- Drop child at school
- Food shop (1st supermarket)
- 12:10 Mass (Ash Wednesday)
- Food shop (2nd supermarket)
- Pick up child from school
- Homework
- Piano lesson
- Dinner
- Parent Guild meeting?
- Reading before bed
Notice I scheduled reading only because I wanted the list to reach 10. Reading at night is a given.
I have to talk to the teacher today, we're having problems with another child and it needs to be dealt with.
I've given up chocolate for Lent--it might get ugly. I'm wondering if I'll have withdrawal problems like smokers or coffee drinkers :)
Have a good one and happy reading.

Bingo and Bills...
Today I do my monthly bingo duty, I'm curious to see how many of the old folks venture out in the ice and snow.
I also have to register Junior for the 2007-2008 school year. "General Fees", "Computer Fees", "Fundraising Commitment Forms", "Bingo Commitment Forms", "Parish Donation Commitments" the whole thing has left my head spinning.
Picked up a couple of books at B&N yesterday, one of which was The Erotic Secrets of a French Maid by Lisa Cach, I was not overly impressed and it certainly wasn't worth $13. I guess I shouldn't complain as I used a gift card, but I really could have gotten something better. If I can work up the interest I'll post something tonight or tomorrow morning.
Have a great day and happy reading.

Odds and ends and other things...
You can always tell when I'm either on a reading binge or I've dried up for a few days, I don't have much to say about books. I read 6 books in the first 7 days of the month and haven't finished anything since Wednesday, okay I haven't started anything either. :D
Yesterday morning I had a meeting with Junior's music teacher. The school is already planning the Kindergarten Graduation. It turns out Junior is going to be Noah, the only child in the class that will need a costume, the rest of the kids will be various animals and will use hand held masks. I've been given an official script. The whole thing is just too cute. The Best Friend volunteered his mom to make the masks--30 masks. I promised to help.
This morning as I was working on an article about world building for Speculative Romance Online I get a phone call. The Best Friend's mom called "You want to go to the bookstore?" Like that's a silly question, of course. Going to the bookstore usually means B&N, but she wanted to go to Borders instead.
The two of us wander around the store for 2 hours and don't buy a thing. She's trying to talk me into reading Christine Feehan's Game series. I've told her the Dark series has scarred me for life, but she swears this one is much better--I don't know, is it possible?
I found something curious, why is it that romance accounts for 50% of the mass market paperback sold but only has 2 stinking aisles, but sf/fantasy has 4 aisles and mystery/thrillers has 3 1/2?
While I was wandering through their romance section I kept having to walk around this old man. Which I thought was kind of cool, an older man reading romance until I realize he's in the trade paperback section of romance and he's only picking up erotic romances and when I peek over his shoulder and I'm pretty sure he's reading the dirty parts--LOL.
Another older man struck up a conversation with me by pointing out Deidre Martin's new book Chasing Stanley and I tell him it's about hockey and he should give it a try--didn't tell him it was a romance. I wonder if he bought it.
The hubby came home from work the the stomach virus. He's looking for sympathy and company, so I'll be signing off for tonight.
