Thank God the weekend is here. It’s been a stressful busy week that is thankfully over. I don’t know if next week will be any better but at least we get a couple days off. Of course it’s supposed to rain today and tomorrow. Maybe we should head up into the mountains where it’ll be snow!
Yesterday started off with the boys heading off to school on time and then my cell phone ringing 10 minutes later as the oldest had forgot his recorder. I rushed back to school while the misses was cleaning up a bit against orders. We managed to make it to the grocery store around 10am and $270 later came home with a half a dozen bags of food. Prices sure have gone up as I’ve said before. We noticed that we rarely buy meat anymore but rather go for chicken (which isn’t much cheaper) and eat a lot of pasta and beans. I don’t think we’ve had red meat for at least 3 weeks.
The day wrapped up with parent teacher conferences for both boys. The first thing each teacher said was what great boys we have and how happy they are to have them in their classes. It seems the only issue either of them have is they sometimes rush too much to finish their work. Their great students who are polite and kind to others and are doing well in all areas. How nice is that for a parent to hear.
The oldest guys arm is still a bit sore and he’s a bit tentative to move it much as it’s been locked up in the cast for over 6 weeks. We’re slowly making him use it more and more and need to get him to physical therapy. Tomorrow they both have the 5K run called the Gold Rush. The misses will sit this one out if I have to tie her up!
Our friend from from Vail is having surgery today with the misses doctor. I think she goes in at 6am and will be out for 6 hours or so as she’s having quite a bit done. This means my close friend (her husband) Rik and I will have lunch as he’s just hanging out all day. Hope all goes well.
We made the oldest skip inter murals yesterday as it was the high jump and we couldn’t risk him hurting his arm. His friend Jennifer meanwhile, didn’t have such good luck, as she is now in a walking boot waiting 2 weeks for the swelling to go down to see if her foot is broken from, you guessed it, the high jump! I’ll wake him this morning at 6 as he has a 2 mile run that he wants to compete in.
After schol the youngest guys friend came over to play and his dad asked if we wanted to come over for lasagna. His wife, the misses friend, just had bunion surgery at 6 in the morning so we thought she probably didn’t want or need any company but they insisted they did. So we went around 6 for some food and the kids played while the 2 girls chatted and Mark and I watched some football. We tried watching the VP debate but it was pretty lackluster with Joe acting snarky and smirking and laughing at Ryan whenever he spoke. Pretty rude. I think the moderator was terrible as she lost control but it was nowhere as good as the presidential debate. They all say it was a draw for whatever that’s worth.
We made it home by a little after 8 and headed up to bed. I’m sure you’re all wondering about the misses headache. Thanks to all of you that called to check on her. The short report is it’s too early to tell but she does have some relief. It’ll really be weeks before we know for sure if this worked. We’ll keep you posted and are hoping for the best.
Time to run, lots to do today. Take care, God Bless and have a great weekend.
