A song

It is sometimes amazing how sometimes it is the little things that can bring back memories or warm feelings. My son attends a Charter school and they do a Paragon performance once a month, the kids do skits or songs based on what they did in social studies that month. Anyways, I think it was the Second graders who sang the song "Rainbow Connection."

To me this is one of the greatest simple songs ever wrote. Of course the Jim Henson version will always be the best, but something about the song brings me happiness and memories. It goes up to the top of the list for most favorite song for me.

12th Night

Edward and I had a good time at 12th Night. There were a variety of games to play and a lot of different foods to eat. He got bored right after dinner because they had to move table for Court, but he was asked to be a Page and to blow a horn at the arrival of the Baron and Baroness. That made him feel better. The gift exchange was interesting, everyone drew a number and then went to the table to pick a gift, or if someone had a package that seemed interesting to you, you could go and steal it from someone. The only draw back with that is that they had gifts just for kids and Edward being 11 is at that age where he wanted to participate in the gift stealing aspect. Edward ended up with a book and I got a green wool scarf. We both had fun, I am looking forward to St. Val's Day in Feb.

Spending time with my son.

On Saturday I am going to a 12th Night Celebration for the SCA with my son. And Monday starts the new semester of Karate, I get to join him on Tuesday for parents Karate. We miss Mom, we got to see her last weekend when she came home. Unfortunately we had the house concert (not that there is anything wrong with doing a house concert), but we do not get to spend as much time with her.

It is weird, some days I can go through the day and not think much about it, other days I miss her a lot. Then there are some days I just wish there was someone just to watch Edward so I can go out and spend time with my friends. It's weird, I know a lot of people but I do not spend much time with them. At least I will be able to do more with the SCA now that Edward is getting interested.

We will see where things go from here. At least my work knows that I could move out of the area anytime this summer, but on the other hand I would hate to cancel out the rest of the house concerts for the year. My brain is starting to hurt, it is all my wifes fault for wanting me to blog again. Maybe I will blog on Sunday and tell you how my day went at the party.
