Looking at my calender here at work, the next five and a half weeks are just solid classes...no more spring break, no more conferences, no more easter weekend. Just a solid block to the finish.
Well this last weekend of some extra time off was fantastic. Friday the dogs went the groomer and I got a bunch of stuff done around the house and errands run before we went over to see my aunt and my grandpa at my parent's house. Saturday I finished my painting project that I started over spring break and got two coats of paint on the other half of the room and the room all put back together. It's nice to have that job all finished, and it turned out looking very nice. The room looks nice and clean. That night, I met up with my friends from high school at Granite City for some appetizers and dessert. It was so great to have some time to catch up, with no kids and no husbands :) We talked for like three hours and ate way more food than we should have! Sunday brought a CRAZY morning with the kids at church, and then lunch with Brad's parents and sister's family. We got to see Reece go on a mini-easter egg "hunt". We headed home late afternoon, and I was in the mood for cleaning out so I went through my closet and came up with a huge pile of stuff for a garage sale or Goodwill. I love the feeling of cleaning out my house :) Then Bethany came over to hang out and watch a movie. All in all, a busy but fantastic weekend. It felt really long...it's amazing what one extra day can do for the weekend. Which makes the summer all the more exciting as I have three day weekends all summer!
Well, I suppose it's time to figure out what I have to teach today. Three day weekends also make me forget where we left off last week...
Where did you end up taking the pups? Mine is in desperate need of a real bath and summer do... but I've yet to find a place that's good and affordable!
ReplyDeleteAnd, thanks for all you do with the kids! Ryder was very happy to share with the cashier at Walgreens the story about why yesterday was a miracle! He even said "Jesus died for you!" :)
I've always taken them to TenderCare Animal Hospital in Morton for their grooming and vet stuff. They do a decent job and I can leave them there all day which is convenient, but for Lucy it's $40 and Midas it's $45.
ReplyDeleteHave you heard of the Wizard of Paws??
ReplyDeleteShe comes to you with a big van full of grooming supplies.
Thanks Megan - last summer Nala alone cost me $85 for a good bath and cut....
