Crazy all the time

Let me get a good solid blog post in.

The three day weekend happened and that was good. Toby is in full potty training mode. I worked some overtime, had some friends over, got a few things done around the house, made some more pickles and things like that.

I spent some time in our studio/storage room over the weekend. I kind of made a plan for getting it cleaned out and cleaned up. The plan involves working on projects that haven't been done or finished, building Henry and Toby's bunk bed so that Toby can move into Henry's room, selling and giving away lots of stuff, and organizing paper in file cabinets. It didn't seem as daunting as I thought it would.

I am leaving this evening for an autism conference in Orlando for a few days. This is the biggest autism conference in America and we are pretty lucky that they are having it pretty close to us. Virginia is already there doing a pre-conference workshop on positive parenting. The last conference we attended was great, and filled us with ideas. The workshops look at least as good for this one. I am going to try to treat like a vacation (low stress).

I spent part of the weekend looking through a vegan cookbook for new things to make for Henry. I made a cheese recipe for his burger the other night, but he was not into it. I made a list of several things to try, and it got me excited about just cooking in general.

It's only a two day work week, so that's good right. In spite of it being crazy budget preparation week, my desk has actually been pretty mellow. Loving the new Ipad.
