Does anyone else feel like it’s Monday? All day yesterday I was thinking I was going to wake up and go to church and this morning it feels like a Monday, not a Wednesday. But that’s good! Cause that means I’m halfway through the week! MIL should be coming to pick up the girls and only two more days of work and then I’m off for another week for the beach!!
So, what’d we do yesterday? Emma spent the night Monday with MIL. I woke up at 7:30 yesterday morning to find that the crockpot was overflowing watery lard onto my floor. It was nasty. I straightened up the house until Lexi woke up at 9:30. Scott’s family came over for lunch and ate really yummy bbq. They stayed for a little while the girls played in the little pool. We stayed home with Carla and Dwayne while Lexi napped. Then we headed over to Mom’s and swam all afternoon. The water was 88 and it felt SO good. Perfect temp. After dinner Carla and Dwayne left and we went over to J&J (WHY do all my friends have the same initials!). Most of the youth workers were there having a picnic and we stayed for about 2 hrs. just chatting with everyone. It was really nice actually. So the kids were really sleepy after that and I didn’t try to keep them up to go watch fireworks. Lexi saw a few in our neighborhood and the boom startled her at first but then she was ooo-ing them. Emma didn’t want anything to do with it. She wanted to go back inside.
So I’m working on the youth group’s web site. I stayed up late almost every night this weekend working on it. I don’t know if it’s what he’s looking for or not. I know I am very graphically challenged and I know in my head what I want it look like but it’s not coming out that way. So I’m just doing the best I can with what I know. I really want people to look at it and say, wow, that’s cool. And teenagers sometimes are your worst critic so I’m trying hard. I’ve gotten some advice and help from a guy at work. He does some really cool side work for people so I’m trying to take his advice but I just don’t know how to do some of the stuff he suggests.
I got REALLY burnt this weekend. I decided to lay in the girls’ 5 ft baby pool while Lexi was playing in it and I guess the water kept me cool enough that I didn’t realize I was being scorched. My stomach and chest are like so pink, i’ts l almost purple and it hurts even to put aloe on them. It’s getting better now and tanning instead of peeling thank goodness. So I think I’ll have a base tan going for the beach which is what I was trying to do. No pain, no gain I guess.
