These past few weeks have been busy. Last weekend we had a kiddie party to attend for X. The family actually hired a petting zoo to come in. Sheep, goats, a pig, and a pony wandered in the yard all wearing party hats while indoors they had a small animal show. The house was about 3 times the size of our house and the yard about 4 times as large. It was an immense place but aside from the little boy and his parents, there’s a set of triplets and the grandparents living there so I guess the size is understandable.
Then X came down with pink eye on Monday night, which we caught early enough so that he could attend graduation on Thursday. The graduation was adorable but so very very hot. Even though the school rented a tent it was a sauna under there. Afterwards there was a small reception and my parents took us out to dinner at Bugaboo Creek. I'm so proud of my little man...I can't believe in two months it will be kindergarten time!
This past Saturday we had yet another kiddie party…this time a pool party which was nice. I made sure to take extra xanax so I was pretty chill the whole time.
And then finally Sunday we put up our pool!! It’s only an above ground 18’ x 4’ but it’s enough to cool off in. It took longer to fill that we thought so we didn’t go in it yet but tonight...after the gym...provided it doesn’t thunderstorm...

Last week, Shveta helped me put up my resume on Monster and already I've received several calls and emails. Discarding the sales jobs, I have 2 potential ones lined up for interviews for training/management positions. I just wish something would open up in PA instead of NJ!
...
I have a lot of writing "events" lined up over the next few weeks including deadlines, meetings, writing dates, author events to go to, and a writing retreat in Vermont. Can't wait for it all!
