You can’t really blame me. I have had a lot on my plate since Jan. 1. But, there is hope! There is always hope. Thank GOD!
Here in list form is the haps going on in our house in the last week or so.
- Son won’t stop drumming. It is driving. us. crazy.
- Family plots regularly how to destroy said drumming and hide drumsticks. (drumsticks have been made out of various materials including sticks, knitting needles, straws with painters tape all over them, and broken toy parts)
- Constantly looking for the cans of nuts and other lidded vessels that have been confiscated to make drums. Think we should get him a dang drum set and just be done with it?
- Work is slowing down, but gearing up to get ready for the end of the school year and work on keeping us open for next year. Enrollment is not looking so good right now, so who knows. We need a miracle!
- I’ve been trying to get back into choir, but it seems to be eluding me. I missed Sunday’s service to help at another church and so I’m not really participating as much as I should be.
- Jon is done with his conference and I am glad to see him again. Between his travel and heavy work load and my trip to STL, I have missed him.
- Lauren is done with her UIL Choir competition, they got all 1’s and medaled! It was a lot of work to get them there and they did great! I am so proud of her for digging in and giving it her all to be a part of the “team”. It takes dedication to learn complicated music and practice for hours and hours every week.
- Lauren also participated in a Speech Competition last week and although she didn’t make it past the first qualifying round, she gave it her 100% best. It was a big deal to have 2 of her events make it into the competition, so I am doubly proud of her and she is proud that she tried too! Go Lauren!!
- We went swimming this Saturday. It was fun, but I think I pulled some muscles. I did some “water aerobics” and I think I hurt myself. I also found a new swim top that is super cute. My friend has the same one from Target, so we can’t swim together or we’ll be twinkies. LOL
- American Idol is back in full swing at my house every Wednesday. It always runs so late, but we have a great time visiting and catching up on each other’s weeks. I think a few are irritated that we don’t just sit and watch, that we watch, eat, talk, watch, talk, talk, talk, and then watch! LOL Oh well…we can’t help it. We’re girls!
- Oh! I have discovered a new sin. They are called Oreo Cakesters. Watch out if you know what is good for you. They are innocent at first and then you find you want to eat the whole box. I am going to have a few boxes on hand for AI this week as my contribution. Let the sin begin!
Pretty much our week in a nutshell. I don’t have a whole lot to talk about, well that’s not true. I have a lot to share, but I feel lazy about forming my thoughts into coherent sentences and the spelling! Oy, that’s annoying. :o)
Hope you guys have an awesome week. I get to go to work tomorrow! Yay! And then choir and AI on Wednesday, Men’s group for Jon on Thursday, and then Friday glorious Friday. Saturday brings a luncheon with Debily ( I didn’t forget!) and then Sunday brings Church. Monday brings sleeping in and cleaning and my Dad’s surgery. Pray for him and a speedy recovery!
And then PAYDAY!! WHOOT! So I wish you all happy Sunny days and all that optimistic crap.Â
