Ahh, New Week

It is not often that I say this, but thank goodness the week-end is over. It had it's good moments, like the Tigers whoopin' on Wake and the Chickens getting fried by the Gators. And, church was great. But the girls were sooo bad. They continued their behavior from last week and it was awful. Annelise's surgery went well. She was eating a happy meal within an hour afterwards and was rollerblading by the next day. I am glad that is over. Poor Emmaline had to go with us to the surgery and she was terrible. I think she was worried about Annelise, but boy was she acting out in the waiting room. She cried when they took Annelise back to surgery and she stomped around the waiting room and refused to play with anything I had brought for her. She said it was all "trap". (Her word for crap.) We are trying to make her stop saying that, but it is hard to look serious when we laugh everytime she says it. If she doesn't like what we give her for supper, she crosses her arms and wrinkles her eyebrows and says "That's trap!" Of course, anything that is not a chicken nugget is "trap" in her book. Anyway- this morning went much smoother and they were really good for me. Hopefully that will continue through this week. I got them both signed up to play basketball at a local church, so that is one thing marked off my to-do list. Brian is having a bit of a rough day, though. He had to leave the house by 6 a.m. today to make rounds and he got to work only to find that someone had stolen the airconditioning unit at the office. Then he went to 2 different stores during his lunch break to find security cameras and found that one of the stores doesn't carry them anymore and the other one is only selling them online, now. So- he has a headache and will probably be whiney. But, I can deal with that. I am getting ready to book Annelise's birthday party at a modeling school. They give each girl a manicure and they get their hair and make-up done and they get to walk down the runway and get their picture taken. That just has her name written all over it. For now, I need to get back to the Mommy calls for the office. All about cough and/or vomiting this week. But, at least the girls are behaving today! I'll take that!
