Curse you, Harry Potter!

You know, time is dwindling quickly, and I foolishly started reading Harry Potter, Order of the Pheonix, and now I can't put it down, I have tons of stuff to do, my husband is sneering at me, and I'm only on page 521! I'm all groggy from staying up half the night. . . . I think I'm in a panic about not being able to read anything fun for the next 2 years. Oh, my Regis acceptance letter came - finally! So I need to get as organized as possible to try to save my sanity as August 27th approaches.

Park View Swim Meet

Caitlin wanted to swim in the meet yesterday! Yeah Caitlin! She did great (home pool advantage), and ate lots and lots of junk food and talked to her buddies - mostly Beth and Bridget.

A swim meet takes about 5 hours - just FYI.


She and Beth were quite pleased with themselves. They were even on the same relay team. (Cool!) Since I was manning the consession stand I sprung for 2 - 2$ snow cones! They swam hard - I was impressed, and of course this was the positive experience I'd been hoping for.










Go PENGUINS!

Glad to hear that Caitlin (Not Caity) did better and overcame her fear of ... whatever. I got the new Harry Potter and can't put it down. Speaking of cursing!!!

woo hoo Caity, and congratulations on Regis. That's awesome

oh is this something new, is she no longer Caity and wants to be called Caitlin????
Is she pulling a Isaac, not Zac thing?

Actually, C is OK with either. It's Andrew who took issue with his mom calling her Caity! (It was funny.)

OK. Rule 1 on Harry Potter: You must not feel guilty about taking time out of your life for Harry!

(If God had meant for us to concentrate on only mundane household chores he would have never allowed JKR to be born!)

Order of the Phoenix was one of my favorites. Finished the new one yesterday. SO GOOD!
