The goings on our around our 'it's not quite yet summer vacation' household:
- Six school days left. Still making school lunches.
- Drum and bugle corps season has begun in full force, with daily 9-9 rehearsals an hour from home...which basically means my oldest packed up his stuff and is sleeping wherever/whenever up there and I don't know when he'll be home again.
- I don't like that. I miss him. He's home for such a short amount of time anyway...sigh.
- I did feed 20 drum corps guys supper who ate more (and I am NOT exaggerating!!) food than what I cook for 50 choir kids. For reals.
- Our cat Mollie has an owie on her leg which is going to involve a vet visit today. I am borrowing a neighbors crate which smells like their cat and causes my cat to growl when she walks near it. It's gonna be a fun morning. I'll be the chick in 80 degree weather wearing a parka and gloves (for protection!) while carrying the hissing cat.
- I have yet another mechanic story coming soon, but let's just say that we gave him a 2nd chance. Yep. Yep. Yep.
- We are the benefactors of a Starbuck's employee. Simply...my freezer is PACKED with goodies that we've been given and my boys are thrilled.
- For my cousin Cheryl, I have yet to watch the finale of GLEE. Soon. Promise.
- It's nice watching my husband bbq on his new bbq, though I will say it was more enjoyable watching him on the old bbq....just something about the rather large flames and the bucket of water he kept nearby.
- World Cup. It's on 24/7 round these parts. My ears are buzzing from that horn thingy. Brian wants one. Not happening.
- In the next 6 days, Brian has a band concert, pool party, greek olympics, lagoon party and graduation followed by a bowling party. Yikes.
- The last MRI...not good. Alex is having surgery next Friday. Just typing it makes me nauseous. More details soon..but could you please pray for him?
I will most definately be praying for Alex and for you too mama! Keep us posted.
ReplyDeleteNot fun when your child has to have surgery. I'll pray for Alex and his surgery. Kate is having sinus surgery at the end of this month. We're just hoping it finally clears up the chronic sinusitis, especially since she'll be living in England starting in September.
ReplyDeleteI will be praying for Alex-keep us posted. Yes, scary, to be sure. You do have good doctors and if it has to be done, this is the time to do it.
ReplyDeleteAnother mechanic story? Say it isn't so. The whole cat deal won't be pretty. and you will again experience the origin of the word 'caterwauling', or it is cater-wailing!! Oh, the scratches....I hope the cat will be OK. One of the priests at church was given a baby Yellow lab puppy! fr. Greg named her "Flannery" and she is completely gorgeous! She is now 39 lbs. and is the parish puppy! i love her and can now easily get my dog fix.
Oh my, d and b corp time. I remember this from years ago. Someone having to jump in the car and fetch the trumpeter home....so much better that he can do that for himself, right?
A new bbq? That is a good thing. Although the flames are such a draw....
We are still accepting application materials for the Associate Director of Music/Principal Organist position. Amazing who actually applies. Scary at times. I hope this doesn't go on too long, but technically we have only been 'alone' since June 1. But it is picking up tasks like setting up the 2 different worship aids each week and taking care of cleaning up and filing the end of year music for a couple of choirs and finding out that you are out of room in the CPDL file cabinet as well as in the library with the choral boxes. I will have a volunteer crew of library ladies who will help.
Have you seen Toy Story 3 yet? I have not, but do want to. I am undergoing the next round of knee shots. Think of me Friday morning as I endure the second of the three fun fridays! Oh, boy.
Well, super hot and very humid here. You'd think it was summer or something.
Hang in there, my friend!\

Can I make a rude comment about Choir people versus Band people? Probably not....
ReplyDeleteGreek Olympics? Do they do them naked?
If so, where do they keep their keys?
