It was a very nice weekend...most of the time. Friday began with a bang...for hours. A horrible thunderstorm came through and I kept waiting for the lighting and thunder to pass so I could finish running errands, but after two hours I just had to go and get it done. It meant that the football game couldn't be played, and that made Saturday a very long day for Andrew, but everyone was able to be in bed at a decent hour Friday since the cross country bus left at 7AM Saturday!
The meet Saturday morning went really well, and for the first time Robert ran under 20 minutes. He came in third on his team this time, and we were really pleased with the race. We had to rush back to town to get him to a band function and he was there the bulk of the day. In the meantime, I was able to watch a lot of football while Andrew was working at the girls soccer game and rescheduled football (which had more weather delays before they were finally able to get the game in). That evening I caught Robert in some lies that break my heart and make me sick. It's not the same really big stuff that we were dealing with last year, but it's the same little stuff that happened last fall that started leading to the really big stuff. I take comfort in knowing that Andrew and I are doing the best we can (even according to "experts") and I just pray. A lot.
Sunday I woke up feeling lousy, but took Robert to church before I took him to work. I ended up admitting defeat and taking some heavy duty cold medicine and allowed myself to sleep the evening into overnight. Andrew took the kids to our friends house for a cook out and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. I'm so grateful that I woke up feeling better yesterday. We were able to spend a little bit of the day at my mother's house, and both of my grandmother's, my aunt, my sister, and two cousins and their kids (including our newest addition, Ava, just three weeks old!) were there as well. It was such a great opportunity to be able to visit with them, and I was grateful for the day. We got home just in time to get Robert to band practice and it allowed Thomas, who was an emotional basketcase, to get some extra sleep.
Overall, it was a decent weekend...and now we are ready for another busy week!
