In the meantime, it's time for another episode of Silver Lining Saturday!
My foot is doing lots better, thanks for asking.
Magnum and I played hookie yesterday and went for a kidless hike in an area we'd not yet hiked in. It was a great day for it, the area was nice with lots of personality, and we needed a boonie fix. Next time, we'll drag the kids along.
Meego's class had an "international day" at school. They were to bring in ethnic type foods to share for a potluck. I made (filipino) chicken adobo wings. They were all gluttonly chowed down, and nobody got sick.
Had a PTO meeting this week. I still have mixed feelings about serving on the PTO and wonder if my time and efforts would be better spent somewhere else. The principal gave us this big mushy pep/gratitude talk which, at least for a little while, made me feel good about all the volunteering. Maybe (probably) she's just kissing our butts.
Wolfgang is enjoying his first year on the track team. I just happened to mention that I used to run the 400m 20 seconds faster than his current time, but I was wearing spikes. Now he wants spikes. Me and my big mouth
Despite the fact that it's finally decided to be winter around here, now that it's spring, we had a couple of relatively nice days. I did some running around on my bicycle and actually had a violent run-in with a squirrel on a death wish.
He didn't get his wish.

So weird that it's only acting like winter there NOW. It's finally getting nice here. I saw the first tulips sprouting in the yard.
Your hike sounds relaxing. Nice that you could get out sans kiddos for a while.
Care to share the wing recipe?
Sounds like spring is in the air up there. Enjoy the Easter Weekend! Were you playing chicken with Mr Squirrel?
*whew*
That's for the squirrel.
You're right about Peeps...
Violent run-in with a squirrel with a death wish? I hope you weren't hurt!
Yay for track teams and Wolfgang getting spikes...LOL
I wish our schools did an international [food] day!
I prefer other things to do when kidless (which is nearly never). LOL
I guess I'll have to read about the foot elsewhere?
That is a whole lot of nothing behind you!
You'd love South Africa- loads of amazing hiking trails, and all the space and sky you care to take in. Good exchange rate, too!
Glad you are feeling better- it always amazes me- you seem to be such a consistently happy person. Your family seems lovely, too. They are lucky to have a mom who can write such brief, yet very revealing posts. Posts that show the world you have a good thing going. Happy Easter.
