Past | Present | Future

It's been a few days since I last blogged so let me see if I can bring you up to speed on what's going on around here.

Past | Stuff that happened last week:
Endured one of the gloomiest weeks I can remember in Colorado. It was cloudy, cold, snowy, rainy, and just generally blah. I'm so happy the sun has begun to shine again.

Went to the doctor about my leg. She thinks I have tendonitis. I'm supposed to rest and take ibuprofen. I haven't exercised in three solid weeks (it's killing me) but now that I'm taking the correct dose of ibuprofen it definitely feels a little better. I'm just hoping that Advil is doing more than simply masking the pain. She also recommended physical therapy.

Kept my cool (that's how I remember it anyway) when my eleven-year-old told me 24 hours before she needed a medieval costume for school. We pulled it off with a visit to the local thrift store but I forgot to take a picture of my cute little medieval peasant.

Sarah ran for Student Council and she was elected to serve her class as one of three representatives next year. Atta girl!

Helped with the Younglife garage sale. Will and Sarah helped too. I haven't heard how much money the sale pulled in but I've never seen so much junk, er, stuff at a sale before.

Helped chaperone a dance at Abbey's elementary school. I sure don't remember having dances in elementary school. It was a sock hop and it was really pretty fun!

Normal, boring stuff like laundry, cleaning, homework, cooking, and grocery shopping. My sweet husband cleaned out the garage and the basement for me on Saturday. I offered to help him, but he let me off the hook and told me he preferred to do it alone! 

Survived the busiest weekend we've had in a long, LONG time.

Present | Stuff happening today:

Hmmmmm, let's see. 

I have an awards assembly to go to today, and I'm taking my teenager to the doctor because he has a very, very sore throat and ran a temp of 102 almost all day yesterday. It's the last week of school AND he has a few final exams to take, and if he has strep he needs to start taking meds today. 

UPDATE: Will's strep test came back positive. He has one dose of antibiotic in him and the doc said he could go to school tomorrow if he feels well enough.

Future | Stuff happening this week:

Have I mentioned that this is the LAST week of school! It's hard not to be excited about that.

Field Day is this week. It's my favorite day of the whole school year!

Report cards. We're so proud of our kids. They've worked hard and have done excellent work all year long.

A fun family outing to celebrate the end of another terrific school year. 

Some friends we haven't seen in awhile are coming for a quick visit.

Hairapy! Hallelujah. As I inch closer to forty I seem to find more gray hair every day. You have no idea how desperate I am for a cut and some color.

A little shopping for my trip to C-A-L-I-F-O-R-N-I-A.
