Ding Ding Ding - Round Two

OK, time to fess up to what we did Friday night.

I could not say anything on my blog cause I don't know who would read it and I did not want to ruin the surprise.

We were the special guests for the young married's class at church. They were having their Valentine's day party and we hosted The Newlywed Game for them. My DH and I used to teach the class and when we moved with the church plant in the fall we, of course, left the class as well. It was so much fun and we felt young again!!

I'll post some pictures as soon as some of the folks load them onto FB. I know it really was not that exciting but it left you hanging! Sorry, I'm so naughty :}

I will be home today with yet another sick kid. I'm so glad I only have two kids! Abby started "tossing her cookies" last night at softball practice. At first we thought that maybe it was food poisoning but she is running a fever so I think it is what everyone else at school has had. She is not usually one to get sick so when she does, it hits her hard. Poor kid. She got no sleep last night (which means I got no sleep either). I couldn't give her anything for the fever because she couldn't keep it down. She is now sleeping. I gave her some Tylenol an hour ago for all her aches and pains.

I had intended to go into work and do up some cakes so that I could get ahead this week and take Friday off. It seems that won't be working out for me. I'll finish cleaning the house today and keep the laundry going. I am already tired and so glad that I only have a few hours of work left to do. I'm thinking we may have to watch an on-demand movie this afternoon.

After I dropped off the girls at softball last night I ran over to the grocery store (so glad I did!). After groceries I stopped and got dinner at McD's. I was so looking forward to sitting in my car with my book and dinner and just enjoying some quiet time. I ordered the sweet tea that everyone has been raving about. WOW! How about some tea to go with your sugar :} It took me some time to actually enjoy it. I don't know maybe that particular McD's just did not make it right. I could not really taste the tea. Is that how it is supposed to taste? Just as I got settled and was in complete relaxation mode, I get the call that Abby was sick. Bless her heart, at least she made it home (with me driving like a crazy woman) before she got sick again. Me driving like a crazy woman, maybe that is what caused the excessive sickness - surely not!

I need to get rolling so I can get some rest today too. I have a feeling my DH will come home to us in the same place he left us. Exhausted on the couch. I simply can't sleep on the loveseat again tonight..... Any idea how hard that is for an adult to do?! I'm thinkin' it is a pj's day all the way around!

Hugs all and stay well!!!

When it rains....

I feel like I have fallen off the face of the earth.

The busyness of life has sweep me away again!

So, I guess I better start at last night. Let the story roll.....

Abby had a volleyball game about 20 minutes away. So like most volleyball nights I head over from work. YIPEE - they finally won a set (or is it match?). I don't know. But we were pretty much the last ones out the door. We hop in the car and it won't start. WHAT?! It was fine heading over and I did not leave anything on. I quick ran to the only car left in the lot and asked if he had any jumper cables. He did not. We happen (by God's plan) to be at the school right next to my sister's church and it being Wednesday night, they were having Awana (again, God's plan). I ran in and asked if anyone had any jumper cables. Yep, they headed right out to help connected us up and boom, it starts right up. I'm sure you are wondering where my DH was. He was on his way home as he had left right after the game. Anyway, Abby and I headed home. I left everything off except my lights and used my turn signals only a few times. We could see the headlights flickering so I knew we did not have much battery life left. We pulled into the garage and my car dies. THANK YOU LORD! He got us home safely. I jumped into my DH's car and zipped down to Wallyworld to pick up two new batteries.

OK, if you must know. My DH and I have the same car - yes, year, make and model. Long story short. It was my turn to get a new car and we ended up getting two new cars. Yeah, I know - what were we thinking?! But mine is better because it is red. His is silver (boring!).

Two batteries in the trunk and I head home to replace the batteries cause you know the other battery will go within the next few days. That is how it ALWAYS goes!

Snip snap, mine is done and my car starts and runs great. His, not so easy. I couldn't get the bolt off so he came out to help me. I know what you are thinking. Why is the DH not out working on the car?! Well, he is an engineer, yes. But not the hands on kind. He is not mechanical at all. So, I am the mechanic, plumber, electrician and basic handyman, er, woman. We don't work well together on any hands on projects so we would have ended up in a huge arguement about who was doing what the wrong way and it is just not worth it!

It is a good thing we replaced both batteries. The little green "eye" thingy was not showing up on either battery. We got through 5 years so I guess that is not so bad.

OK, switch gears.....

Abby and I were talking and I told her that I noticed that before she serves she always looks up and that I noticed that she said something before every serve. She kinda grinned and didn't say anything. I asked her what she was saying and if she was talking to herself. Her answer made tears come to my eyes. She said "Mom, I don't talk to myself. But I do say - please help me God - every time I serve." Doesn't that just make you well up?! Ok, well I guess you had to be there!

Tomorrow, we are going to....

Oops! I just about let out a secret. You'll have to wait for my next post to find out what we are doing :}

Hugs,

Jeanette

How did she know?

How does this happen?

I have a sick kid today - AGAIN!

AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

Gabby seems to have the flu, cause everyone at school is sharing. Isn't that sweet of them?!

We "slept" on the couch and loveseat last night praying that she would not "toss her cookies". She did not....yet. She is home today.

Guess what else I have going on today.

Yep, you guessed it!

I have a hair appointment. So again......

AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

I told NOBODY that I have a hair appointment. NO ONE!

So....how did she know?!

I'm planning on keeping my appointment, because I need to go and get a trim and I would like to be able to see to drive! I hear that people on the road with me would appreciate that too :}

Time for me to hit the treadmill and get going.

Hugs,

Jeanette
