Quiet on the Homefront

It's been awhile and it shouldn't - in all honesty I've been in an insomniac's fog. Yes, it's self diagnosed, but I was really starting to get worried when I'd have nightmares about waking up and not being able to go back to sleep. It's been so bad lately that last Saturday I went for a midnight stroll for 2 hours in Port Aransas in my pajamas. I guess I was celebrating the time change. Thursday, I went for a morning run with the newspaper delivery truck. It's so confusing and my poor brain is desperate for solid sleep.
Anyway, since this episode I haven't felt like doing much at all (except for eating mostly candy in the lazyboy totally reclined).
Today, we had our annual neighborhood Easter Egg Hunt. This is one of my favorite things to experience as a Mom. Hiding eggs is so much fun. And as a member of the playgroup in charge of this activity hiding over 1000 eggs can be extremely gratifying. It will be Christmas before all are accounted for.
This was Avery's first hunt and I was her helper. She likes this cleaning project and filled her basket in hyperspeed. With the exception of a few eggs that cracked open with the help of her foot, she has no clue that there is some serious "DANDY" in her possession. Will was born a treasure hunter and this is right up his alley. He was a trooper and shared his candy with no strings attached. Good boy; there is no worse feeling than stealing candy from your children!
We're off to the Strawberry Festival after naptime. The candies worn off, but there will be funnel cakes soon!

Sounds like you had so much fun! Our church one is in the morning.

The Poteet Strawberry Festival!!! Ah, great place, great place. Have fun. Don't worry about those funnel cakes. We can run those off tomorrow when we meet for our Runner's Club. We really should open this to the public. You be the president and I will be your side kick. (I am a follower, not a leader)

FUNNEL CAAAAAAKE o_O

Did the paper boy thwack you with a rolled-up newspaper? I hope not.

My personal arch nemesis is the street cleaner. F---er won't leave me ALONE. I swear it follows me, but it could just be the medication wearing off again...
