Well the playgroup was a big bust. It was just a little room with some toys and no one showed up. Noah liked being there just to play with someone elses toys. I don't blame anyone for not showing up because it was flippin' nice outside today... again. One great thing came of it however, I discovered this great playground full of kids on the way there. We went right back and I saw a couple military stay-at-home moms with home daycares, exercising their little rugrats. One day I will talk to them. They usually show up in couples, so I'd be this weird desperate housewife with one kid begging for adult conversation from 2 daycare friends. I'm fine with that. Until then it'll be more like animal planet, I'm going to observe their habits and slowly creep into their environment so they don't even notice. A few grandparents showed up too. Grandpas and grandmas are always fun, always happy, always sociable. We'll definitely revisit this playground. It's actually 3 playgrounds. One for 6-12yr olds, one for 3-6yr olds, and one for 3 and under. Mommy wanted to play on the big one!! I wonder if I'll ever not want to climb a tree or go down a slide. I hope not. Well next time I go I'll take pictures so everyone can see how huge this place is. Time to think about what to thaw for dinner :P I am tired of cooking, more tired of dishes, but I've been eating way too much crappy food lately.
This will be a gleefully uneventful post, but I thought I should at least inform everyone of our whereabouts during Frankenstorm. On Friday the landfall predictions were further south, which had the eye passing near our tiny town after obliterating Dover, DE. We happen to be surrounded by water. The Patuxent River on one side, Chesapeake Bay on the other, plenty of swamps and creeks in between. Not a good prospect. Josh and I had gone out that night to try and secure supplies and already, there were no batteries or flashlights. We also don't have a grill and thought "we'll try Lowe's tomorrow"I mean, most people already own grills... right? Everything in our house is run on electricity (including the water pump for the well) except for the fireplace. I don't know what builders are thinking when they do that. I at least want a gas stove and water heater! So, anyways. We got a few hours of sleep before trying to brave the crowds...
