Back in the office today, a ton of stuff to do but none of it is interesting.

I got home from my conference on Friday afternoon, just in time to go pick up Reed from daycare. He had a great day on Friday (which was a good thing, because apparently he was headbutting his best friend on Thursday). We had a nice weekend - lots of yardwork and planting flowers, digging up old stuff that wasn't working well, and just relaxing. I planted a ton of hostas and coral bells yesterday, and my back is feeling it today.

I have been asked to be on the steering team for a new MOPS group that is starting up in my area. I had initially accepted, but as time goes on, I have realized that I am already overextended. Tonight is the first steering team meeting that I would normally attend, and apparently there is quite a list of questions for me, mostly about my vision for the group, my faith and how it plays into my everyday life, and what kinds of activities and fundraisers I'd plan for the group. As I have contemplated these questions over the weekend, the expectations of the position have become more clear to me and I've realized that I just don't have it in me to take on soemthing else. I've got a lot going on with the Chamber of Commerce, and I'm expecting to take on some more roles there. I feel kind of bad backing out of the MOPS role right now, but honestly, I think I'd rather just be a member right now and see how it goes, and possibly take on a leadership position there later.

I've also got a headache to beat all headaches. It's not quite a migraine, but my eyes are burning so I'm halfway expecting it to turn into a horribly painful headache. I was just looking at my calendar for the day and trying to figure out what, if anything, I can shove off of it - but since I have to do new employee orientation today at 12:30, it's kind of pointless to cancel everything else.

Funny Reedisms from the weekend:

- I always tell him that his piggies are so cute and that I want them. He always tells me that they are his little piggies and that he needs them, and that my piggies are big and I need big piggies. Well, apparently sharing discussions have started to sink in, because over the weekend he said "Mommy, do you want to share piggies? I give you some of my little piggies and you give me some of your big piggies?"

- We went to the grocery yesterday afternoon - he wanted to carry the list. As I was walking out the back door, I said "Reed, do you have the list?" to which he replied "list, check." From that point on, every time I put something in the cart, he'd say "apples, check" or "salad, check" while examining the grocery list.
