Guess what. Remember how we’ve had trouble getting the good seats at church? The good news: We got the good seats at church. They were the REALLY good seats, the kind with the upholstered seat AND the upholstered back AND the individual armrests. The bad news: We sat in the stands because we gave the sacrament meeting talks. But, we survived, there were no accidental burps or fainting or cuss words. We’re done and can move on with life. Phew!
Thanks to all who encouraged me this past week with all I had on my plate. I’ve been able to get most of it finished, or at least started. I cleaned my house for the book club meeting, which was very fun and lasted well into the wee hours of the morning. If you haven’t read The Power of Positive Parenting by Glen Latham, you really must. It’s one of my favorite parenting books out there.
Jack’s cardiologist appointment went so well. There’s always some anxiety before those appointments that the news might be bad, but he passed with flying colors. I found out that he does have a left ventricle although it’s relatively small but it does do what it can to pump blood. A huge factor in his overall prognosis. Yeah! And we don’t have to go back for a whole year! And he has no restrictions! And the doctor encouraged him to increase his activity level with swimming, hiking, and biking. All great news that could make me teary-eyed if I went on, so I won’t.
I’ve written the art program for co-op and it has the potential to be really fun. I hope it is. If not, it could be a long semester. Still waiting for my last shipment of books so we can start school this week. Keep your fingers crossed that we see that cute little UPS man tomorrow.
Last night after we polished up our talks and were getting ready for bed, we took the dog out and discovered a sure sign that we are now officially parents of a teenager.
Hope you all had a great weekend!
At least they wrote “love ya” in toilet paper!
My dad used to get SOOOO mad when we would get toilet papered. He thought everyone hated us.
A “love ya” would have helped a lot…
Not to mention that he would SAVE the toilet paper for future spills or emergencies.
I’m glad for you that your talks are OVER. That is always such a great feeling!
Glad your busy week is over and your son is doing so well.
I’m glad things went well with your talks! And the cardiologist! Miss you guys!!!
That is great news about Jack!
As a Boise native, I just wanted to let you know that TP’ing in that part of the country is a definite compliment. I was surprised to learn that in Danville, TP’ing could be a negative thing–because I TP’d many a house growing up, and it was always boys I had a crush on, or my good friends. I love the TP note on the lawn.
Great news about Jack! And about your talks. Somehow, we were able to skip the talks when we moved in 7 years ago. It was missionary season, and then we had to say no once because of previous commitments. They must have forgotten all about us. Shhh – don’t tell anyone.
Yea – what good news for Jack! I’m so happy to hear that. I heard great things about your talks – way to go! I wish I could have been there. And, welcome to the “we got TP’d” story. Luckily we don’t get TP’d often because everyone wants to do the three neighbors around us instead. It’s good to live by popular folks. ha ha
glad there was good news from the doctor. good news is always better than bad news….always!
I am so going to track down any stinker who t.p.’s my yard in the future and make them clean it up!!! but I’m not a very nice mom
