Jake's leaving :(

Saturday, Sept. 16, 2006

Today was pretty much the calm before the storm; literally, the weather took a turn and kept going. We had snow on the roof today. The kid’s soccer games were canceled so we just played board games all day. Jake and I went to the store and got veggie burgers to bar-b-que. Then we went out to see Jinga Boa at the Rose Wagner Black Box Theatre. We had a blast. He leaves tomorrow morning for Arizona to see our sister. I will miss him. When we got home we woke up the older kids and watched Elf until 2 am. I am beat. Today when we got home from Regional Conference Brian pulled in the driveway, I was asleep in the car and he just left me there to sleep. I woke up once and layed my seat back and slept another hour. When I came in the house he had a fire going (60 degrees in the house, it’s getting cold already) and he made me a sandwich. I helped our oldest son to work on a talk he has to be giving; we just really took it easy today. Brian cleaned out the fish tank, bird cages, and hamster house. I read to him while he was cleaning. We have had a good day and I am getting to be early to catch up on some well needed rest. Tomorrow is a new day, Math and for once NOTHING on the calendar. This week is looking really good to me and I think I will be able to finish my goal writing, get some housework done, and put some things in perspective so that I can manage the rest of the semester. I also need to get to the doctor this week to find out why I feel so bad. I have also gained 8 pounds in about a week or so, rapid weight gain doesn’t seem right to me. Positive thing: a good week a head and a really good day of relaxation and family time today.
