Busy

I’ve been very busy at work lately.  I have a lot of things going on and I keep jumping from one thing to another.  I haven’t jotted anything down here because at work I’ve been jumping from one thing to another so fast I can hardly keep track of what I am doing. 

At home… well, I have been pretty tired and unmotivated.  I’ve recently been consumed with playing a five year old video game called SimCity 4.  Its on sale everywhere for $20 and I’ve been having a good time at it.  I sometimes like to play the first-person shooters that get the adrenaline going, but strategy games can be relaxing too.  Still, after about a week I think I have about worn it out.

Yesterday the girls went to a birthday part for one of Grace’s friends.  The boy, Seth, has a younger sister named Celine.  She’s maybe 18 months old and is so active that the parents are beside themselves.  They just can’t keep up with her.  Which is one of the reasons they love Chloe.  Chloe will play with her and entertain her and they get along great.  I think she will have her first babysitting job as a Mother’s Helper over there this summer.

Ben took his bike across town to his buddy, Adam’s house where they played basketball and played video games (wii).  Sounds familiar.  I think I spent a lot of my own summers doing the same thing, but with a Commodore 64.

Gabriel amused himself at home and wound up going with Liz to the swimming pool to meet Ben later in the afternoon.

Today Chloe has a friend coming over and I think they are getting ready for our week of vacation coming up.  On Sunday we take off for Smuggler’s Notch.  I am really looking forward to it.  I always love relaxing up there.  Its a very soothing and restful place.  But they have a lot of activities going on too.

That’s it for now.
