Okay, now for how my day has gone. Of course I didn't want to get up again. I just can't figure out why my nights go so fast!! I woke up at 6:30 and crawled out of bed about 6:40. Megan and Hannah were, of course, up and getting ready. Weston woke up in a pretty good mood. (He was completely wrapped up in a blanket on Megan's bed. It kept moving, so I hollered, "There is a snake in your bed Megan!! Lets get it!" He thought that was just so funny) Abbie is just not a morning person. It took us a little while and a few tears to get her going this morning. All and all, it went well, and they were on the bus at 7:15. My wonderful husband (and best friend in the whole world) was ready to go off to work at 7:30. We did our morning routine; he drives up the gravel road, stops, gets out of the truck and signs "I Love You" then spins around to mean bunches and bunches and I do it right back. Then we wave good bye, yell "I LOVE YOU" and he is off. (kind of silly I guess, but it is our little way of saying good bye) Megan and Jordan left shortly after that. So that just left me with my sweet Alyssa. She is ALWAYS just so happy! She hopped on the bus at 7:50, and the rest of my day began. I have been really wanting to get some music on my Ipod, but every time I hook it to my computer all of the songs go away. So my wonderful son-in-law said he would help me. So I gathered up all of my CDs and head up tho his house. Of course I had to visit with two of my grand-babies and Amy while I am there. Noah's little (well it's really great big!) smile just melts my heart! I also got some great hugs from my little Landon, he was having to go to the doctor today. When I got home I made my shake, and my sweet daughter-in-law and Bentley came by to help me work. I was really determined to try and stay on my "diet", and guess what Sierra made?!?! This yummy smores stuff she found on Pinterest! You can get the recipe here. It sure was good though. She helped me get 10 cup orders done in the middle of chasing Bentley from place to place. He was really just trying to help. By that time Barry, Michael, Nathan, and David came home for lunch. Unfortunately Sierra and Bentley had to leave before they got home, so Michael didn't get to see his sweet hearts. I enjoyed getting to see them all for a little while. Nate will be leaving for Salt Lake in two weeks from today, and will check into the MTC on the 6th. I can tell that he is getting a little worried about leaving. I pray that he will have the strength to leave so that he can go and serve the Lord. He will learn and grow so much, and he will be such a great instrument in the hands of the Lord. After they headed out the door, I went back down stairs to get the rest of my work going. (I would say done, but I still have a ways to go) I am working on gifts for some teachers. This is what they look like
The rest of the day was quite crazy. I got the kids off the bus, and finally squeezed in a shower. Then it was off to catch Alyssa's bus. She watched Weston while Hannah, Abbie and I went to Danville to get more ribbon for the cups, the supplies for YW, and all of the snacks for field day. My one hour trip ended up taking 2 1/2 hours! When I got home, the most beautiful storm was brewing. The lightning was amazing. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to stick around and watch it (or I would have some fantastic pictures to put on) because I had to get down to Greensboro to pick up ice cream for the PTO meeting. I didn't get to even see my Jordan yesterday. He is such a wonderful young man, and I just love him so much!! Megan and Barry went with me to get the ice cream, and we enjoyed visiting Barry's aunt and uncle for a while. We got home after 11:00 and it wasn't long until I was curled up fast asleep.
