Another week has just flown by. We had a total of one quiet evening last week, and when I mean quiet I really only mean that no one had any place specific to be that evening, but we still had plenty of things to do! Monday evening Catherine had scouts and Thomas had basketball practice. Tuesday was our one evening free. Wednesday I had my day all planned to do some shopping and get some specific items I'd been searching for, but of course I got called into work, literally at the last minute. That meant that I wasn't able to pick Robert up from school, and he had to spend the afternoon/early evening at an academic challenge meet with his dad. Andrew has agreed to help out with this group because their regular adviser has been very ill. Thursday was supposed to be a day where I was off and able to get some things done. Instead, I spent the morning with Catherine at the doctor, because she has a virus on her hand it was very swollen and starting to turn purple. I was able to run a quick errand, but as I was returning to town I was texted by a friend asking if I could help out at school. I spent the next two hours at school with her working on preparing and delivering Valentine's cards for classes. My mom came down that afternoon, and when Catherine and Thomas were done with school, we headed to my husband's school. He had parent teacher conferences that evening, so we picked Robert up and ate dinner before dropping him back at the school for his band concert. I was really impressed with how nice they sounded! Andrew and Robert didn't have school Friday, but I had to work. Lots of sugared up kids running around! That evening Andrew and I finally took an opportunity to go out to dinner, just the two of us. We were looking forward to a belated Valentine's Day dinner, and while we very much enjoyed dinner, the fact that we had both come down with colds dampened the fun a bit. Yesterday we decided that Robert was going to skip his scout hike in the morning so we were all able to sleep in! Catherine and Thomas had basketball games in the afternoon, then we had to quickly get ready for Thomas's blue & gold banquet for scouts. Our friends picked up Robert and took him to church with them, then we met up afterwards for the jr. high quiz bowl at this church. Our junior high students brought home the trophy! Today has been Sunday School, Mass, baseball camp, baseball practice, and a girl scout function. THANK GOODNESS there is no school for anyone tomorrow...we need another day to try to get rid of these colds!
I'm pretty sure I understand why I'm so tired, but I'm so grateful for all of these opportunities!
