This Past Week

Tuesday  was our tumbling evening.  Princess is working on dive rolls, walking handstands, etc… Although the studio is less than 15 minutes away, the drive always seems to take an eternity because the kids argue so much as we go to and from the studio.

On the way to work wednesday morning, a massive dog sprinting towards the road caught the corner of my eye.  As I watched, I felt confident that this dog was not going to stop before the road.  I put on my brakes.  As I paused to get a better look at this wild dog, I was surprised to realize that it was actually a deer.  The deer crossed the road in front of me and continued speeding through the old golf course across the road. Apparently my neighbor had been two cars behind me.  She texted me soon after to tell me the whole experience was crazy, and she was glad I didn’t hit the deer.  We relived the crazy experience in person again tonight. 

Wednesday evening I was busy multitasking.  I took Champ to choir practice at church.  Thankfully, it was also the site of a voting site.  It was only a 20 minute adventure this time.  While we were waiting in line, I was helping Princess with her homework.  We saw one of Princess’s friends get in the voting line with her mom.  When I was done voting, we went back to get that girl and took her to the indoor playground while her mom continued waiting in the voting line.  I exchanged numbers with the mom in hopes we could get together again.

Then we squeezed in homework and Bible time before basketball practice.  I’m glad the practice doesn’t conflict with choir, but practice at 8 is too late for children.  

Wednesday was also a sad day because a dear neighbor moved.  Although she didn’t move far away, it is still sad not to have her nearby.  

Before I went to bed on Wednesday evening, I received heartbreaking news...that the gentleman who had been champ's Sunday school leader from 2nd grade through 4th grade had suddenly passed away at 47 years of age.  Over those 3 years, I had volunteered often with this man.  The news was too sad to even comprehend.

Thursday evening I told champ the news about his Sunday school teacher's death.  He was very sad too.

Saturday I ran with Vanessa.  Then her husband made us omelettes for breakfast.  Next Vanessa and I went to the craft fair at the high school.  I got a facial in the afternoon (thanks to my students), ran errands, did laundry, and cooked.

Today I helped in the kindergarten Sunday school.  Then I went to the service.  I went to my friend's visitation at the church.  It was nice to tell my deceased friend's brother that the man had been a good role model and that we were all better for having had him in our lives.

I finished the afternoon by visiting my old neighbor at her new house.
