What a week!

The last 7 days have been exhausting, and by the faces of my friends and patrons at work, I wasn't alone in that situation!

Last week we receive an email that Dizzy  needs to order not only a new leotard, but new pants and the money was due by Friday...In case you didn't know, gymnastic leotards are expensive.  Add the pretty bling so they pop while competing and I almost need a second full-time job! We lucked out that her warm-up jacket will work for another year, it's short in the body, but she only raises her arms occasionally and the new leo is dark colored and shouldn't be as obvious as the old ones.

Saturday went something like this...

Drop off Bean at 5:52am at school to catch the bus for a meet out of town.  Gas up car, change audiobook cd, grab a doughnut and soda and hit the road.  7:50am I met my dad for breakfast and we drove through campus to the Golf Course to watch Bean run against 60+ other teams (not runners, teams and he's on a team of nearly 25 and they were not the largest). I escaped after that and had lunch with my mom and inherited some more yarn and pictures from my gramma. Then it was dessert with a friend who is just starting college and I think a bit homesick. Bean called when he was getting on the bus to head home. I headed out, finally found a grocery store to get a soda for the trip home (and some cheddar rice cakes...) and beat the bus back to town by twenty minutes.  Therefore, I decided dinner was pizza, grabbed some and got the the school five minutes before the bus (they arrived at 5:52pm).  The kitties were not impressed by all of us being gone for the day (the Boss and the girls were out of town as well, watching our beloved Bobcats play an amazing game against the #2 team in the nation)

Sunday was church, a meeting after church to vote on calling a new pastor (it's been almost a year, so I'm hopeful), off to the Carnival Classic that the school district coordinates so Dizzy could perform with her teammates in a gymnastics exhibition. She chose to hang out with friends afterwards, so the Boss went grocery shopping and told her to call when she was done.  Bean had an adoption party he wanted to attend for a friends family, so the Boss dropped him off on the way.  I met up with Tater, as she had a sleep-over with a friend, for her soccer game and watched her team play a very evenly matched team.  It was a lot of fun and I was able to visit with some friends.

Sunday night, we were wiped out and the older two and I watched a movie. Watching movies based on books with my middle child (who just finished the book) is not fun.

This week started out slower, Tater was sick Monday, so we missed the Brownie meeting and went to bed early.

Dizzy is progressing very well in gymnastics and has her first cross country meet today.  Bean's meet this week is on Friday, so I'm trying to work out a way to attend the Bobcat game this weekend.

Well, I've squandered my day off recovering from training at work and prepping for the kiddee programs I'm helping with this week.  Time to get out the door and cheer on my HMS Bobcats.
