Then after supper, some good friends came over and we just visited and watched the Primetime TV special that was on. Pretty boring, eh? In a few weeks, we will be golfing on a Friday night couples league. Can hardly wait!! Saturday was spent shopping (oh joy!) and doing house things. Sunday was church, brunch with friends and yard work.

I then prepared for Saturday. <br /><br />Compared to how my schedule usually is, Saturday was pretty concise. I coached. For 14 hours. Straight. It was my team's state meet and they were in 4 back to back sessions. There was no A/C, they ran out of food for the coaches, and the scoring equipment was malfunctioning. It made the day much more exhausting that it normally would have been. However, it was awesome!Mamasitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15733969272786039734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7614350181757194859.post-61474159479143724572009-04-19T21:13:00.000-04:002009-04-19T21:13:00.000-04:00This past week was spring break at the school wher...This past week was spring break at the school where I work. My week was spent loving on my two adorable little boys all day, every day. So Friday was the last day off from work. So my two little ones, 2 and 1, played endlessly- - went to chick-filet for lunch which is our favorite play place. It amazes me how much those little ones soak in everything that is said. They watch everything. What a joy to just spend time with them.Shelley Williamsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7614350181757194859.post-61805878265970741882009-04-19T20:01:00.000-04:002009-04-19T20:01:00.000-04:00We went and looked at a dog we MIGHT be adopting s...We went and looked at a dog we MIGHT be adopting soon. He has to have some surgery first, and has a few "issues," so we'll have to wait and see if he is the one for us. But it's been over 2 years since we lost the "world's best dog" (no offense, Snowy - there can be more than one, you know!), so this is a huge step. Please pray for God's wisdom and direction. And yes, I DO believe He cares about the "little" things like this!

I helped a few patients figure out appt's and get what they needed. In the afternoon, I worked a bit on a project to teach nurses about complementary medicine. I let work at 5 and attended one child's soccer scrimmage and another's child's soccer practice Friday evening. Came home and ate good old Kraft mac -n-cheese and then cleaned up the kitchen.

My 9-year-old great niece called and asked if she could come to my house as she was at my parents and my mother was sick. Of course I said yes. I took her to Wendy's for lunch (fries & nuggets). I had lunch and packaged 7 outfits to mail to my grandson in Indiana and 2 to my great nieces in Raleigh, NC. Then I fixed spaghetti for supper, cleaned up the kitchen, went to the funeral home for a visitation for a Sunday school member, visited with my parents and got to hold my "new" great niece (2 months old) as she and her sister (3) and mother stopped by my parents just as I got there, returned home, e-mailed some friends about Relay for Life, read the newspaper and went to bed about 1 AM. Of course that was after combing the cat and puppy each and playing with them. I started the day giving my 22.9 pound cat two antibotics for a bladder infection. This is her 15th day of pills (second round). I think that is all. Cut grass on Thursday and scrubbed floors today. <br />Time for bed as church is tomorrow.<br />Ann in Roanoke RapidsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7614350181757194859.post-84264014772381723542009-04-18T21:36:00.000-04:002009-04-18T21:36:00.000-04:00Today I got up and went to our floor covering/gift...Today I got up and went to our floor covering/gift store, where I do the books and work with customers. I spent a lot of time catching up doing data entry and statements and payroll as I was out sick on Thursday. I had some customers also, which is a very good thing. Then Jim took me out for supper.

That was made more exciting by the fact that my salon was short staffed due to illness so it took longer than usual. That wasn't the exciting part... the exciting part was that I was there much longer than expected and wound up in an underground parking lot downtown at 12:02pm when my daughter's bus arrives at my door anytime after 12:25pm. Let's just say that I was blessed in many ways to make it home by 12:23pm because it typically (and by the laws of both man and physics) takes significantly longer to make the trip.<br /><br />Upon arrival I was blessed with 7minutes of peace (the bus was late...hurrah) before my energetic (read hyperactive) darling daughter arrived home. We spent time working on a puzzle and having lunch before heading out on a playdate at the park. She tripped over a soccer ball and proceeded to tell ask her little boy friend if it was ok if they "just relaxed for a bit under this beautiful tree" while she rested her twisted leg. She then gave me a look so I said..."oh are we (meaning the mommies) supposed to leave now?" To which she swiftly replied, "YES"...did I mention my daughter is 5? Yep she is one who knows what she wants all right.<br /><br />Then we came home ate dinner, hung out with spongebob and more puzzle time. We acted out silly stories and then she was off to dream land and here I am. All is well in our little corner of the world.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7614350181757194859.post-9283974654572370402009-04-17T22:04:00.000-04:002009-04-17T22:04:00.000-04:00I spent my day today as I do every other weekday.....I spent my day today as I do every other weekday...almost.

Then my 2 kids, 6 & 8, talked about people with cancer. They had a form to buy a message on a board at their school. The money goes to Relay for Life. My sweeties used their own hard earned money to purchase their messages. They wanted to purchase a message for each of the kids I read about with cancer, including Sarah of course, but they didn't have enough money or enough forms. Sooo, since they only had 1 form they decided to honor their grandma who is a cancer survivor! We had a great talk about Sarah and some of the other kiddos I read about daily. Then I took them to school and I hung out at home all day doing nothing really except a little exercise! Then we got pizza for supper and I ate way too much therefore offsetting the benefits of my exercise! Or maybe I just exercised so that I could eat pizza!???
