Sorry

Sorry about the ranting the other day.  I'm over it now.  Thankfully, my friend was available via phone for a bit of venting.  I'm again reminded of all the wonderful people in my life.  There is no reason that I need to dwell on one person who doesn't care when there are so many that do!  So thank you friends for the reminder.

Yesterday was a great day.  It started out with a women's conference at the church.  Someone couldn't attend so my my gave me their ticket.  It's called First Place 4 Health and it's all about living a healthy lifestyle for the glory of God.  Pretty amazing stuff.  I got to chat with some friends over coffee, muffins and fruit. I  even got to visit with my high school interp coach who I haven't seen for years. After the main event, we broke into small groups to attend break-out sessions. I thought the Creating Healthy Families would be interestsing and I wasn't disapointed.  Then an amazing lunch by one of the best cooks in our town before I had to jump and run home.
.
I had agreed to take the baby to a birthday party for her cousins at noon.  Steve, Taylor, the baby and I piled into the van and headed to Pioneer Park.  We got to meet a lot of the baby's family and I even played touch football with them. Good news-I scored a touchdown. Bad news-I sacrificed the body for the game and got mud all over the knees of my pants and I still had to go back to church for the remainder of the afternoon.

Then I took the baby and Taylor with me to the church while Steve mowed the church lawn. Brittney watched the other kids at home.  At 6pm, Steve came home and I went to finish up.  It took me until about 8pm and after a quick run to HyVee for milk and a frozen pizza, I headed home for the night.

Great news! The baby finally popped her first tooth on Thursday and has been sleeping through the night again ever since!  I'm finally feeling like I'm getting a bit of rest.

Today we're off to church and then after lunch I'm going to do a bit of a presentation on foster parenting for some friends who are interested. I'm hoping to get quite a bit of laundry done since it didn't get done yesterday and we're nearing crunch time before surgery.  Monday is court for the baby's mom, a visit with the baby's mom and I'm also hoping to sneak in lunch with a friend.  Tuesday is bible study from 8:45-11:00am, Steve's dentist appointment, physical therapy for the baby, a visit with the baby's mom,early childhood education for the baby, football for Riley and hopefully get out of town by 5:15pm.  That way we're not getting to St Paul too late.  Zeke wants to swim at the hotel and we have to be at the hospital by 6:15am the following morning so we don't want him to be too tired. Although he will be sleeping the whole next day during the 8 hour surgery :)
