Today Jag has basketball tryouts for Club which runs for the next three months. There is some overlap with baseball as for example, Jag is supposed to be in Carbondale this morning for a game but will be playing basketball from 9am until 3pm. Meanwhile Ty will be doing a bunch of homework and then getting ready for his last performance tonight. After the play, the kids have a wrap party from 9 until 11:30! That makes for a late night.
Speaking of late night, last night Warner arrived around 10:45. I was already sleeping but Lori was up with the boys. I was really tired from getting up early and rushing down to Denver and back and then driving the boys here and there for what seemed like hours. I’ll bet I drove 250 miles yesterday. It’s a little cooler outside but not snowing. I did buy a new printer yesterday and need to hook up our new computer, printer and set up today.
Lori had a long day at work but did go to Ty’s 2nd performance last night. We’ll all go tonight. She said the kids had even more energy last night as they were more comfortable with their roles. It’s a really good play, I wish you all could see it. I think someone is taking video of the show as I said we’d take 4 discs. If we get them, we’ll send you all one.
Everyone was tired and a bit snappy with each other yesterday. The things that can come out of 13 and 15 year old kids mouths are unbelievable. It then doesn’t help when we as parents react. I told Lori the great thing about life is everyday you wake up you get a fresh start or a do over! So, we all have good days and not so good days, but everyday is thankfully a new day!
In May I’m off to France, Slovenia and Italy. We’re taking the whole sales force which is like 14 of us. We fly into Marseille France, spend a few days there and then go to Slovenia, and then into Italy before flying home. All in all, I’m gone like 9 days including the 3 travel days. I was trying to upgrade to Business but they couldn’t guarantee me a seat so after working all the magic and angles I could, I ended up just buying my Business seat for around $4000, which is actually pretty darn cheap. A Coach ticket was a bit over $2000, and it would have been $2800 and 40,000 miles to get on the waitlist to upgrade. The best thing is my return, after I get from Florence to Munich, is a non-stop straight into Denver. It’s a 10 hour flight on Lufthansa but it sure will be nice not having to change planes once I get into the U.S.
Before then, I have a trip to Miami and probably one to Texas once again. Might end up in Arizona for a 3 or 4 day work/play weekend too. Then I think I’m here until the first of June when we have the Kapalua Wine Festival on Maui. I might end up back in Italy in September and also maybe Chile and Argentina, but won’t know for a few months.
Time to get Jag up for basketball as we need to leave in an hour. Hope everyone is doing well. I saw my Mom yesterday for a few minutes and she seems to be doing fine. I heard Grandma Dixie on the phone with Lori too and she sounds good. I hope Annette that you’re doing well also. Enjoy the weekend and God Bless.
