Flying Tuesday...

Well, Tuesday is just FLYIN' BY!! Started out thinkin' I'd take a walk and then wasted too much time and decided to go anyway and wished I'd gone earlier so I could do the whole lake, since I didn't have to be at the dentist 'til 10 with Dan... so Ernie and I took off.. and we kept going around the whole lake..I made it in aound than 1 1/2 hours, which was pretty good for us. He isn't usually good for the whole lake, but he was begging, so I took him. Then home for breakfast and the boys are already up- which is good because the apts today are theirs and not mine. I tried to do one to many more things and I'm jumping in the shower when I should be jumping in the car and I have asked Dan at least 3 times if he ate breakfast and brushed his teeth- after all, he's the one going to the dentist...and he is just lounging watching TV...I'm In the shower all soapy and the phone rings, so I take the call and give the info, but I should have taken the minute to rinse off first, because I have to jump back in the shower to get the shampoe out of my hair and then the boys are already waiting in the car and yelling on the way out the door. Driving down the road, knowing we are cutting it too close, I sniff and say to Dan - YOU DID BRUSH YOUR TEETH, RIGHT?? You know the answer...just drop me off at Dad's house and I'll brush my teeth there and then you can drop Bert at the Dr office and come back to get me... YOUR APT IS FIRST AND YOU ARE ALREADY GOING TO BE LATE!! AARGH!! I love him, but the whole teeth brushing thing is very aggravating!! I really think it is just something he does to yank my chain and guess what?? IT WORKS!! So he got his braces checked while Bert got a physical so he can get the shot that he needs before 6th grade and then we will shoot back over to pick up Dan... well, we take 1 hour at the Dr office and Bert comes out with 3 shots and I have a paper to get my vacation arm x-ray. It still has some pretty nasty bumps on the bone and it has been 3 weeks now... I finally get to work in time for lunch..and the problem with that?!?!? oh, wait, it must be that I don't get paid if I don't show up!! Of COURSE!! So I'm finishing here, then heading over to the old hospital to see if I'm OK, then Bert's got a golf date and I have to finish up Beth Moore for tomorrow morning's BS at 6a.m. Yeah, Life is Good!! Yeah mom, I know I'm embarrassing Dan, but he doesn't read this anyway and it's gross!

no, I didn't pose this picture....

When you are closer to 15 than 14 and you're over 6' tall and you weigh over 200, it's nice to know the quilt your mama made you when you were a baby is still an important part of a good night's sleep. This little blanket I made for Dan when he was a baby. It was a navy and a tan viney print. He always called it his 'weed blanket, 'cuz flowers are for girls!' And when I'd tuck him in I'd ask where he got this blanket and he would say 'my mom made it for me' and I'd ask why and he'd say 'because she loves me'. The binding is mostly warn away, you can't even see the viney print, there are thin spots and holes all about it, too many to repair, he couldn't curl up small enough for it to cover him, but it's his forever, and he knows it's because I love him!

Watching #32..

As I mentioned yesterday, it was Dan's first game this week. He had a good nite....50% from the foul line....we'll be working on that !!He started the game, played quite a bit, did a good job, not too many fouls... The coach was happy... can anyone see the coach?? oh, yeah, he's down there!!

Unfortunately, this is where Dan spent the last 2-3 minutes of the game!! OOOpps!! A twist of the ankle and the big guy is down. Bring the ice!! No more games until next week, so we'll have to see what happens... but he played well, as did Andrew... keep watchin' out for 32!!
