Life in the Fast Lane




It's Friday night again and this last week went by faster than I can blink... And here's a breakdown of the race....
Last Friday- nursing Karlee's pinkeye and Jalen's so called "fever", planting some flowers in the yard, Spring Carnival at school
Saturday- John and kids went on a day trip to Charlotte to visit Aunt Tonya and Cousins, an entire day with the girls for me- pedicures, shopping, lunch, coffee.., A late afternoon birthday party for Jalen's buddy, a wonderful dinner at Bonefish to celebrate Angela's birthday (John loved the Tilapia that he got tricked into eating. NOT. We haven't stopped hearing about it since).. then downtown for some fun with our friends. We actually do get some time away thanks to Netti! (above pictures from the festivities)
Sunday- Church service, ushering and working in the nursery, afternoon laundry, setting up new laptop for John. Thanks Tonya-we owe ya!
Monday- John work, kids back to school/daycare, small cleaning job for me, John orientation for school via quick phone conference, help Janelle with yard work, and the best part of the day- listening to 3 people try to sell me a Kirby vacuum.... hmm already got one but that didn't stop them from sitting in my living room for 3 hours doing a demo. Time I DIDN'T have to spare. Lesson learned.. don't answer the door to strangers!
Tuesday- work, suppose to have a doctor apt for Karlee but for the first time ever, we had negative test results so we were free and clear this week (yippee!), John began his studies... and was consumed until midnight, and I got a quick glance at my fav show American Idol
Wednesday- catch up on house cleaning and chores, a few hours on the computer working on financial/tax issues, quick evening trip to Target with Janelle, more studies for John, and of course the American Idol results show
Thursday- another cleaning job, afternoon nap induced with lots of cold medicine to try and fight a nasty bug that has hit me, evening playtime outside with the kids
Today- cleaning job, two trips to the bank, laundry, and a trip to Bojangles for some good ole southern chicken.

Of course this is just a brief overview but it sums up our weekly life- In the fast lane. The Hawkins 500!

As I sit here on the patio blogging on our new laptop, I am enjoying the summer weather while the kids play in the sandbox. Not so bad after all!
