What a busy day!

Well, we had a day! The day started off with errand type phone calls and lessons for the kids. (My two bright spots this morning were catching up with Dy and Andree'(Races' Mom)). Then we were off to have some fun. We rounded up Thom, and the kids friends and that equals one full suburban! We headed to Putt-Putt golf & games. They did it all: Golf, batting cages, go-karts, and of course GAMES!!! The poor gal working behind the counter had pity on me, and after we had spent XX$$ on tokens, I went to pay for their golf rounds, and she just waved us on, and said, "Wow. Just go play." We had a great day, and I don't think that I have ever been around a better group of kids. They were so fun. Everyone had a great time, and I only had to reprimand Thom once..."Let someone ELSE have a turn at Dance Dance Revolution. O.K.?" (snort, just kidding) I am so thankful that my kids have made such good friends.
The rest of the day was filled with Martial Arts, Jiu Jitsu, and then Applebees for dinner. We finally got home at about 7:30 or 8:00, and saw that our AC man had come by, and left the bill on the table, and closed my upstairs windows so that they weren't rained in( He is so nice). Awesome..........except.....well, it's still not working correctly. Oh, I really don't want to have to call him again....
So, tomorrow we are off to visit Race. Can't wait! We are so excited. And guess what? The nice lady at the front desk of the hotel is giving us the same rate that Race's school is paying, so that's 2 rooms for 2 nights $200. That saved us about $100!! She's not supposed to do that, but we are Soooo glad that she did!
I am taking the lap top with us, because the kids do their Spanish on it, so maybe I will post from our location. Race will still be working during the day, so the kids and I will work on lessons throughout the morning. I am not sure what the afternoons will hold.
Oh, and before I forget, y'all have to go and read my OTHER sister Em's funny, funny post at
  • Me and The Guys
  • She cracks me up!

    Have a great day!

    P.S. The kids have decided that Aunt Thom's indian name will be Laughing Snail. (if you know her, this is a perfect fit!)

    Great news all around. Sounds like a great day and good news about the trip to see Race. Maybe not the a/c, but you can't have everything. Where would you put it???? Okay, an old Steven Wright joke. I'll be going now.

    Enjoy your trip! :0)

    OOoo - what a great day! Have a thoroughly enjoyable time with Race, and give the gal at that hotel a hug. She made a much-needed trip just a bit easier to pull of. Wow.

    What? You're not back yet? Did you run away? Do we need to make room to hide the whole clan or do your parents have the children? Are you okay?

    Oh, and Em - I can't get your comments section to load, but your blog has cracked me up the past week. I am so. there. After this child, I might as well take up weight lifting b/c I'm, erm, halfway there. ;-)
