Bluegrass Mama

Once again, I try my hand at prophesy.

January:  BD turns 14 on the 10th.  With any luck, we’ve taken down the Christmas tree by then

February:  Once again, Mr. B and I eschew gifts for Valentine’s Day and settle for a quiet diner a deux, probably at home.

March:  Warm weather gives us false hope before the last snowfall.

April:  My “birthday buddies” and I once again celebrate our April birthdays with a fun lunch out.  None of us has to cook or do dishes.

May:  HS receives his masters degree and moves out of state.

June:  I actually go camping with the extended family and finally tackle Anna Karenina, purchased for the 2008 trip which I skipped.

July:  BD starts stocking up on school supplies for high school.

August:  HS and LDIL tie the knot and I become a mother-in-law.

September:  Mr B and I attend our last Louisville Bats game of the season over Labor Day weekend.  BD finds something else to do that day.

October:  I am glad to finally get back into jeans and a sweater, never having lost those extra pounds that show up more in summer clothes.

November:  Our first major holiday with a married child having to decide where he and his spouse will spend it.  I try to be brave.

December:  I vow to get all the Christmas preparations done well in advance.  I quickly fall behind.
