Today

Today was one of those days. It wasn't a particularly good day, but it didn't completely suck either. Nothing exciting happened. I didn't win a large amount of money or meet any of the celebs on my "5". It was just one of those days that was unremarkable, but busy and tiring. One that, now that it's coming to a close, makes you think, "Today was kinda boring."

The boys and I went to tkd this morning. We were the only ones there so it was sort of like a private lesson for the Bartholomews. That was kinda cool. We practiced some jahng bahng stuff so now I'm even more lethal with that thing :)

We got home and the boys immediately ran upstairs to change and to scrub the "mat fungus" off of their feet. Then, of course, they had to eat as they were "starving". We got started on some schoolwork and were really taking care of business when the phone rang. It was my sister. She had taken her dog, Roxy, to the vet earlier that morning and had just received a call from them that she (the dog) had died. I'm not a vet, but my diagnosis is kidney failure. So, my sister, who has the most tender heart toward animals out of anyone in this entire universe, is extremely upset. She needs to go to the vet and pick up the dog and give her a proper burial. She wants to know if I can come over and stay with Levi & Bannah. Off the boys and I go. Of course, we have haircuts scheduled for 3:45, so we can only be there for an hour. Ry, Cam, Levi & Savannah jump on the trampoline and throw balls at each other and become sweaty messes, but have tons of fun and laugh and giggle. At 3:05 I took the kids down to their neighbors who would keep them until Danielle got home. The boys and I jumped in the car and went flying down the bypass. As we near the exit I begin to wonder, "Do I have enough change????"


We got to our haircut appointment exactly on time - awesome! Now the boys look human again. Well, except for this picture of Ryan.


Here we have a picture of "Dark Helmet" - the boys are really into "Spaceballs" right about now.......

The day is done, I'm going to bed. See you all tomorrow!

My kids love Spaceballs, too! I hope you worked on your jahng bong form for the Slippery Rock tournament. Only about 1 month away! ES said he'll provide some "beverages" for us after we compete. Can't wait!

Bless your sister's heart. I'm so sorry for her loss. I know when I lost Ellie it was devastating for all of us.
