In 3 weeks we will have a mini-vacation, and I can't wait! We'll head down to Charleston, SC where we'll camp for 2 nights then head to a hotel for night 3 (we would have camped for 3 nights but the campground was booked). I'm doing my best not to overplan, something I am very guilty of doing. This trip only happens once a year, and I want to embrace it as fully as possible. Only 3 things are absolutes: the beach, the children's museum, and the farmer's market. Beyond that, we'll just go where whimsy takes us.
Just a mere 21 more days...

Ambition
I think I've gotten a bit carried away with the vegetable/fruit garden this year. Before the season ends, I will have planted (and hopefully successfully harvested) strawberries, sweet banana peppers, green bell peppers, broccoli, kale, zucchini, cantaloupe, roma tomatoes, corn, onions, red potatoes and lima beans. Of course there will not be bountiful harvests of any of these, except perhaps the tomatoes, because I've only seeded or bought 2-4 of each plant, but even a few meals made with food from my own lovingly tended garden will be worth it.

What to say? Doran is playing soccer now, which is an amusing fiasco. I mean, after all, how much can 3-year-olds really know about the game? It's fun to watch them try, though :)
I've reconnected with old friends, made connections with new friends, and tried to keep current friendship pathways open. Part-time work status is good for the spirit but stressful to the family bank account. I'm adjusting as best I can.
I'm falling more in love with my boy as days pass and wonder why I've ever thought of having another kid. I love pregnancy, love birth, love mothering, but I've decided to adopt a saying I read on an only child page on facebook: I stopped at perfection. Of course Doran isn't perfect, but I'm so deliriously happy with him. I'm perfectly in love with my son, innocently adore the beauty that is him, and the idea, now, of adding another person just stresses me out. I'm not missing a thing. Doran brings me more joy than I ever thought possible, and I want to embrace every moment of that. Every moment. I LOVE kids, I truly do. But one kid, for now, will satisfy me.
Spring is in the air, and I'm in love :)
