Tomorrow at noon and Saturday at 11:30, our homeschool group is performing A Midsummer Night's Dream at our church's parish hall.  The kids have worked very hard for months preparing for this moment.  St. Genesius, patron saint of actors, pray for us.

We have less than 6 weeks until Ben's cousin, Amy's, wedding.   I finally have a dress as do the girls, and Brother has an outfit as well.  I need to finalize travel plans and try to find some fun places to visit on our way up to Massachusetts from Virginia.  I have plans to get together with some online friends, a friend from Ben's lieutenant days (I hope), and family.  We'll spend a few days in the Washington DC/Northern Virginia area.  I want to see the Basilica again but at a more leisurely pace.  The kids want to see the monuments.  Brother wants to see the Capitol and the White House while I want to visit some of the Smithsonian museums.  I'll forgo the art one and visit the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston.  We will also be stopping in Long Island to visit Ben's aunts.  I LOVE driving in the upper part of Long Island.  It's so pretty.

My brother, Sae, and his wife, Brittany, are due to have their first baby in September.  I can't wait to hear what they are having as I have to get started on the baby knitting.

Brittany's baby shower is scheduled for the last weekend in June so I have to be sure to return home by then.  And, if the fairy tale ballet camps are earlier this year, we'll have to be back by them.  It will be Pumpkin's first year participating and I can't rob her of that experience.

I'm disappointed that I haven't been able to come up with more autism posts this year.  Last year I had a lot to say.  I'll have to try to continue them for the rest of the month.  Please bear with me.

I'm going to turn 40 in a few days.  My mind feels like mush.  Is it the age?  The deployment?  The four kids?  The homeschooling?  The many hours waiting at therapy and ballet?

Okay, I'm procrastinating.  The kitchen table is still a mess.  I have play programs to fold.  Yes, I write the Quick Takes on Thursday nights.  My Fridays are booked.  I'd have to wake up very, very early to actually write it.  I write it out and schedule it to post on Friday morning.
