Poor Katie! She has teeth coming in on the tail end of getting over a mild cold. Last night was rough, and she's extra clingy today. Add that to the fact that everyone was severely under-napped from our trip to the renaissance festival, and I am planning on keeping the kids close to the house today.

This week should be a good one though. We have play dates scheduled for Wednesday and Friday afternoon. Amelia has her MMO program on Tuesday and Thursday. I need to get my oil changed in my car, but otherwise, we're footloose and fancy-free.

We've been really good in getting lots of outside time the last couple of weeks since the pollen has settled down. Everyone's mood is so much cheerier with sunlight and romping outside. I feel bad that we have to hole up inside most of the day during the height of allergy season, but that's life.

I've scheduled summer programs for Amelia. She's taking a week of dance and crafts and a week of gymnastics. She's also scheduled for a week of soccer, but I'm not sure if we'll keep her in it. It's a class of 3-5 year old kids, so it may be a bit advanced. However, she's got a fierce kick and she loves to run. I think she'd groove on it.

Tom and I need to make a decision this week if he's going to try to fix a broken tile ledge in our bathroom or if we will outsource it. He's done a great job patching it so we can use our shower, but the whole shower stall could stand to be retiled. We have the money to do so, but it's a decent chunk of change. I think we should go ahead and get it done, but we keep vacillating. It's a case of Tom could fix it himself if he had the time.  However, this is a big project, and that's a lot of weekend hours that are better spent playing with the kids (and me!) and tackling other smaller projects. I find it nigh impossible to get home improvement projects done during the week. Amelia can entertain herself for periods of time, but Katie's only a year old.

We'll figure it out. :)

There's a good section in there about Atlanta (small issue with how they describe Dunwoody). It's a decent read. It got me thinking about how thankful I am to not commute to work right now. Tom has a longish commute to Buckhead, but it's mellowed by the fact that he drives maybe 3 miles of it. The rest of it is spent on a bus (Mansell Park and Ride) then a train. He gets a lot of reading done and can listen to music. Of course, it's still public transport, so it's not nirvana. :)
