What A Week

I am so glad it's Friday. It's been a hectic week. The kids at school are mentally on summer break already. And after school I've had something to do everyday.
MONDAY: Kickball....lost again, but we're getting better : We're working on a new strategy for next week. It goes something like this....kick the ball harder and run faster!
TUESDAY: Both Andy and Collin were eligible for the Academics Award Banquet for the 06-07 school year. School has always been fairly easy for Andy, but Collin has to work a little harder for his grades. He stayed focused even with the grueling schedule of basketball and came through with flying colors. Andy has recently been talking more about college and what he would like to do. I'm very proud of both my baby boys!
WEDNESDAY: Dr. appointment after school. Routine physical. Arrived at 3:45, called back at 4:15, and saw the doctor at 4:40, out the door at 5:10. Yep...I was getting aggravated. My doctor creeps me out a little bit, stands a little too close for comfort...I've gone to him for a long time but at every physical he still will ask "Do you want me to do your pap?" HELL NO!!!
THURSDAY: Marion Devotion at church and then Molly's spring art show and musical presentation at school. Topped off with a trip to the Dairy Queen.
FRIDAY: A little self indulgence by shopping at the mall then driving home so disgusted with myself after trying on all those cute summer clothes that I can't fit into. Damn Dairy Queen!!
I am headed for the couch....nobody is home and it's time to start my Mother's Day weekend early.
Peace and Joy.....

Kickball Is, uh, Fun...Yeah, That's Right....

We lost our first kickball game. 6-2. Not bad....things really could have been worse! My bad foot is killing me, my back is stiff, my gluteus maximus are sore, and I about threw my knee out when I kicked for the first time.....WHEN THE HELL DID I STOP BEING 25? I ACHE! But we looked good...the only team with uniform shirts. I think the younger teams probably thought that was a little "nerdy". To hell with them, I say. It really was a lot of fun....weather was great and the beers were cold. I'll take a camera with me next week so I can post a few pics of "the team".
This weather had been so wonderful....I can't wait for my beloved summer to be here in full force!
