Texas, Surprise, and life

So last week I had to go to Texas for 5 days for a training. It was great. I learned so much that I  can use right away and make a huge difference. It was still a long week being away from my family. We had 30 people in the class and I think we represented 11 different states. The furthest being Rhode Island and Alaska. My favorite accent was the guy from Alabama. 

When I got home Don and the kids surprised me with a pot rack hanging in my kitchen. I have been wanting one for years and now here it is . It adds so much character to my kitchen that now we really need to paint it. 

The kids are doing great with life right now. I can't believe that it is already time to go to the Jr High and hear the informational meeting for parents next week. I think that the twins are very excited. 

Trevor is still do weightlifting for football in the mornings from 6am-7am and on Monday and Wednesday he has wrestling practice from 6-7:30pm . 

Tatum is doing amazing in Softball. One of the coaches took some time and practiced hitting with her and while I was gone she hit a stand up triple and has had a couple doubles and singles since then. She gets to catch also and I think that she is really having a great time.

Triston is also doing great in baseball. He is consistently hitting the ball and scoring . The coach has him at the bottom of the line up that causes him to miss hitting opportunities as the kids in front of him rarely get on base. All the kids on his team have the potential of hitting which makes for some exciting games. 

Don and I are working hard short days to make sure that we are home in time for games or practices but all in all we wouldn't have it any other way.

rain rain go away

Ok, so today is turning out to be one of those days where you say to yourself why in the world did I ever get up. I had a meeting in HB which is a 30min from my house at 6:30am so I decided to get up and take Trevor to Football at school which starts at 6:00am. No problem right, WRONG we are driving to school and I go to roll down the window and all of a sudden we here "CRACK" and the window falls into the slot. We are like "WTF" looking at each other wondering what happened . Well we couldn't get the window to roll up and my temperature gage says 48 degrees. So with the heater on as high as it would go I drive down to HB. I walk out of my meeting to find that the sidewalk is wet, "GREAT IT'S RAINING"! I go to get into my car to drive back home driverside seat soaked and cold. I get home and wait for the pool guy to come and schedule a glass company to come and fix my window. It is wicked expensive for them to fix a stupid window. I schedule them to come to my work and they say they will be there between 12:00 and 5:00 no problem. I get ready for work and in the meantime it starts to rain harder. I go to get in my car with towels to dry the door and I start to drive away. Now in tears and wet on my left side I call Don expressing how upset I was expecting him to fix my problem and he says to seal it up. CLEVER! Why didn't I think of that so I turn around and go back home grab two trash bags and the tape. I close myself in the truck and start to put the bags up. STUPID BAGS WON'T STAY! I try and tape them but because it's wet the tape won't stick. Then I tried to back out of the driveway but when trying to look to make sure I was clear I COULDN'T SEE OUT OF MY WINDOW. Forget it I will take this as a sign that I need to go back to bed.

GOOD NIGHT!
