Thank you Ellen for your kind words; yesterday was a bummer day.
Today, has been MUCH better; mostly due to Frank (don't get a big head honey). Today starts his weekend off from work so he got the kids ready for school, helped with homework last night, and when I left this a.m. was doing laundry. Not only this, but he promised a trip to Ankeny on Sunday. We "need" to visit a shop for his S.C.A. equipment, but also desperatley need new tenny shoes so we will stop at Kohl's too. I'm hoping we can eat lunch or supper in Ankeny- a few restaurants there we don't have here.
I'm not going to tell Jewel, but Frank is cleaning off a table in the dining room for she and I to possibly scrap book on Monday. At least organize some pictures anyway.. Frankie works Monday. I will feel good if we at least map out a page. I'v never mapped out pages before, but one of my friends swears by it as does Memory Makers mag.
Also, I did NOT watch the news last night or this morning. I know I'm not alone in the news bringing my mood down.
So far, I've only downloaded 4 songs for my Ipod. I hope to download more songs soon and take a nice, very long walk.
I'm also keeping it a secret from Jewel, but her G'ma Kris suggested a very fun idea to me the other day and if all is a GO it will be something for me and Jewel to really look forward to.
Next weekend is the big recital weekend! I have cleaning and food planning to do-at least dessert and drinks. I have regular (non-flavored) coffee in the house for Frank's dad so I can check that off my list :).
that's all. Today is SO much better!!!!!!! Knowing Frank will be with me this weekend is HUGE. I also have a walk planned for tonight with Michelle.
Sat a.m. I have my allergy shot appt, errands, feeding one of my client's cats, and in the evening babysitting my other friends girls. Sunday, I teach children's church and then our grand outing to Ankeny! ah its the little things.
I hope you all are doing well.
