Let's Review (last week)
I kept meaning to update last week, but thought I'd do just one big post at the end of the week. Of course the end of the week is pretty crazy, so no post!
Here it is Monday night, but I'll still do it, because I'm renewed with a desire to remember.
Monday (8/15)
Busy day! Watched Molly's kids all day so she could take Syd on a happy birthday date. While watching the kids a man came to replace our water heater, Steph came to order prints, I edited photos, did laundry, only a little... but it still counts!
Tuesday
I felt a need to clean my house... we still hadn't fully recovered from travel! Instead I went to the beach! We like to go to Crystal beach each year and hadn't been yet. Tara sent an email saying she was going, we jumped on board. I called Molly and convinced her to go as well. The kids had such a wonderful time. It was one of the better trips. G stayed in the water the WHOLE time! Just the night prior I told the kids we were going to the beach and he looked at me like he does and asked... why? Not in a manner that is genuinely seeking why someone goes to the beach. No G asks in a manner like, why would we do that, it's going to be lame. We need to work on that. When I reminded him of his feelings the night prior I mentioned he'd not even come out of the water, implying he was having a wonderful time, maybe he should trust me... instead he corrected me, mom I got out of the water once. Nice, thanks son.
It took us a while to get back home, but it was time for dinner, baths, then I was off to a meeting at the dance studio. I had a shoot scheduled, we changed that to Saturday. It was good to see my fellow dance teachers! I'm excited for another year. My nights are Monday and Wednesday this year. Thank you for taking me off blasted Thursday! That killed me last year!
Wednesday
I went running! I, of course slept in, the kids have been great at that lately! I am embarrassed to say it's the first time in a LONG time! I went to UT with full intentions on running, took all my stuff. Didn't go once! Felt bad having others watch my kids, thought I'd go when Matt arrived, um nope! Too much to do, not enough sleep etc. So, it was a good, easy run, that left my throat burning! Of course there will be no slowing down for me, suck it up and run!
I finished laundry, took the kids shopping, for groceries, paint and supplies for activity days camp which is this week. I can't wait to do that with only 2 kids!
Molly came and got me, stopped for diet coke and we met Tara, Amy and Shannon for pedicures. To celebrate birthdays for August (Moll and I). It was great times. Tara made yum chocolate cupcakes and strawberries. We sat and visited while we were being pampered. Great times! I got my nails painted barbie pink with sparkles, love it. Came home and bought product to do Shellac or gel nails. My SIL Kathy swears by it. I'm giving it a shot!
Thursday
I worked in the morning. In the afternoon we stopped at a local nursery and bought a nice plant, then we drove to Tammy Gangloff's house. I dropped off a card and plant, along with a good inspirational book. She recently lost her husband. My heart aches for her. Wanted her to know I love her.
Back at home had the kids dust while I vacuumed and we got the house nice and clean. It was just us for the evening. Matt went to play cards straight from work.
Friday
Went swimming at Damita's pool. Stopped for life jacket's so the kids could actually feel good. It was shallow enough, they really enjoyed themselves. I enjoyed some sunshine visiting with my friend! Totally called her new calling, prior to her receiving it!
Still studying for my lesson, forgot to mention that. All week I'd been reading, studying for my lesson. It didn't all come together until Friday.
Was getting nervous the print hadn't come for Steph's big moment. It came! Went to a surprise celebration for Wolff's 25th anniversary.
Saturday
First thing, photo shoot. Cute Savannah's senior pix. We had so much fun!
Date night in the late afternoon. After the kids and I took our turn cleaning the church building. We have a good time, we don't mind working so much. M and I got to go out. The OG is where we ate, we beat the rush! Eatery's are always packed here, that was a nice thing about UT, no wait! We ran errands afterward, a new cell phone for me, a new mattress for our toddler, we looked at TV's and wagered a bit (I hate when I'm wrong!)
That night I had a few gals over to watch the recital video. We had a great time, ate good food. Loved it!
