Trying to get things done early this morning, as I have to go see the surgeon today at 10:40 a.m. That doesn't sound so early, but then you have to back everything up, I get picked up at 10:20, so I need to shower and get dressed starting at 9:45, that leaves me only about 40 minutes to eat and write my blog....which usually takes me a while. I've eaten, but just started my coffee....and the Today show always distracts me.
Yesterday I thought it was going to be a dull day of making Halloween cards and watching the Vikings game. The Vikes did win, so that helped, but the biggest help to the day, was Annie calling and asking if I wanted to come over and spend the afternoon with them, and then stay for dinner. I said YES!
When they arrived to pick me up, Allie was driving. (She just got her permit this summer, and will have till next August to practice, so she's just beginning, but did a really good job)....I felt very comfortable and safe. Then at their house we sorta watched the game...while Annie and Allie proceeded to cook and pack healthy snack packages for the week. Allie made two batches of granola, and Annie packed up celery, grapes, pretzels, cheese sticks etc. in little snack bags, so the kids can just grab and run each morning.
Matthew was lounging for the day....didn't get dressed....but Allie helped him with his Sunday School work, and I helped him with his Math homework. I'm really amazed at how far ahead of what I or my kids were in 1st grade. Matthew and I also had some really serious conversations, sparked by his visit to see his grandpa's grave. It was the first time he saw it, and he reminded me that I would be next to grandpa, and my name was already there. We talked a lot about prayer, and it was an amazing discussion for a seven year old.
He also was showing off some of the money he had gotten for his birthday, and said he was never going to spend it. I asked him "What good is money if you can't spend it?" The next thing I knew was he was dressed and asking Annie to take him to Target to shop!! lol I think that's what they did after I left.
Annie fixed lasagna along with everything else, and while it was in the oven, we ran to Kohl s to pick up another gift I had on my list, and then stopped at the Sprint store to get the correct cord for my blackberry as most generic cords (even if they are universal) don't work with my blackberry, this is the 3rd or 4th if you count the original cord I've purchased. It drives me crazy. As long as I was there I also asked if they had a cover for my phone, and they had to go in the back room and search for one, they did have one....but it cost a fortune. I bought it anyway, cause I had looked at several stores to no avail. It is really a nice cover...just hated to spend that much money on it.
Nicole spent most of the day in her room doing homework, but finally finished and volunteered to take me home and mow my lawn while she was here. So we got that done, and I took a nap...or laid down and watched some TV. Fell asleep on the couch around 11 p.m. and woke up an hour later and got up and played on the computer for about an hour and then went to bed for real.
A full day, and I never made the Halloween cards. So I guess that will happen this afternoon or evening.
Today, Mary Ward will pick me up (she already called and checked in) and take me to HealthPartners, and then maybe to Pizza Hut...we'll see. So I guess I better get the show on the road. Love and Prayers, m
