And just in the nick of time...

Well, I don't know if you recall, but back in December, when we were in the throes of putting tile in our dining room, I set up a Cookie Exchange Party at my house, thinking that having a deadline fast approaching on the horizon, would motivate DH to work a little faster in getting it done. It worked, but just barely. Pressing my luck again, I set up the kids' pool birthday party for next weekend, hoping that both fence and pavers around the pool would be done by then. Don't think my luck will hold, though. The latest assessment tells me that the fence materials won't even be in by then, and the pavers only partially done.

But you know what? The kids won't care. It's mainly us, grown-ups, who would love to have everything in pristine condition before we have people over, isn't it? But Martha doesn't live around here - Acsa does. I do try to keep in mind though, that as long as it is safe for the kids, the rest will come about with time. Lord willing, there's always next summer.

Had my first subbing job as a Jazzercise instructor at a different location last Friday. Didn't know any of the students at all, so as much as it was a bit nerve wracking, it was also very cool that they didn't know any of my jokes, so I could tell them all over again! I felt like the class went extremely well, and now that I have this experience under my belt, it will just be easier and easier to sub elsewhere.

congrats on the pool and the subbing. I sure wish you were right down the road so I could pop over for some of those daiquris :)
