Not Bad, Not Bad At All....

This past week, that is. It has been a pretty good one if I do say so myself. Except for Brian being quite the snapdragon due to his anxiety about the boards, and the fact that the girls have been acting like they are auditioning for the show "Hellraiser", it has been ok. When Brian gets snappy, I just picture him in an elf costume while he is ranting and raving and it keeps me from yelling back. I'm sure he wonders why I laugh sometimes when he is just blowing up. It's pretty funny, you should try it with your husband.... But the girls are wearing on my nerves. Having to deal with them while B has been studying has been torture. The girls and I had lunch today with a friend and her little girl- and I think it took about 5 years off of my life. It was terrible. But- like I said, the rest of the week has been great. Ann Taylor Loft (one of my fave stores for clothes) was having a deal where for every $50.00 you spent you got 2 $25.00 gift cards! Well, I ended up with 18 gift cards and by the time it's done I will have one of everything in the store.... But I love the new clothes. I also did not have to cook 2 nights this week because of Wed. night suppers at church and then last night we got dinner at Annelise's basketball banquet- which was so cool. The entertainer was one of the Harlem Globetrotters. Let me tell ya- white boy had some smooth moves. He put on a show that the kids and adults loved and then he gave his testimony and told the kids how much God loves them and how important it was to have God in their lives. I think it was good for them to see someone they considered "cool" to be talking about that. So, overall I think this week has been good. To add to my good fortune, Aunt Libby called and wants to come get the girls tommorrow and let them spend the night and keep them all day Sunday. Wow! Brian and I are going to the Home and Garden Show to see what kind of cool stuff they might have for the new house. Last year we went to it and took the girls- not a good idea. So, it should be nice and peaceful this time. I also decided that I was going to start looking into getting my grief counseling certification online soon. I have been talking about it for a while and now I think I am ready to do it. That was part of my job as a peds oncology nurse that really made me feel like I was helping people , so I am going to get certified and see where it takes me. Brian wants me to flip houses instead, but I told him I could do that for fun on the side- in addition to a real job. Oh, well- off to do the laundry that I have been putting off all week. It is spilling out of all the hampers, so I guess I can't deny it any longer.......
