You would think

You would think with an extra hour this weekend, I could’ve gotten all the household chores done and still have had time to catch up on sleep, right? Nope! The weekend was just totally packed! We went to a birthday party for a 1-year-old (with a magician and everything!) and a Halloween party on Saturday. Sunday was mainly cleaning and stuff – which always takes more time than it should! Today I’m a little nervous – we left Molly uncrated this morning. It could be good or bad…it’d be great if we could ditch the crate – it takes up a lot of room in the family room, and she can’t figure out how to open the door even if it’s partly open. But I’m worried that she’s really not completely past the boredom chewing phase. Of course, that might turn out ok too – we just might have to get new furniture to replace our mismatched hand-me-downs… :D

Go Victor!
OK, I admit it – I’m a field band fanatic. I played bass drum for two years in marching band and it was great. Actually, I was pretty skinny those two years – maybe I should join a drum and bugle corp to lose some weight… Anyway, the NYS field band championship was yesterday, and my brother’s school took first place in their class – woo-hoo! – so we waited up at the school (in the cold!) for all the buses to come back from Syracuse. They had three fire trucks escorting them all the way from the Thruway – sirens and lights going and everything. To anyone who doesn’t know what’s going on, it must be pretty frightening!
