odds and ends

wow what a busy weekend. Mackenzie worked late on Friday, got her picked up at midnight, then got up at 5:30 to spend the earlier part of the day in a gym - district wrestling. Carter got beat again by the same kid, and once again his mom was taping his earlier matches. This just gets under my skin. I have already apologized for this, but I finally had to say something to a person from that school. Off to the state tourney in two weeks. Carter had every opportunity to win that match and did not pull the trigger. I see God's hand in this, as I see it in everything, and we are learning a lot as we go through the ups and downs of raising our children.

Went to a gathering that night in Walford, the kids love getting together and playing, and it was a nice time visiting with other adults.

Sunday we went to church, where I was brought to tears in thankfulness for the brokeness I have been feeling. Off to Chuck E Cheese, where I put the kids on a mission to win the giant kickball. We were a few tickets short, so we were able to make up the difference in cash. We are the proud owners of a giant green Chuck E Cheese ball. In case anyone is wondering Chuck E is a mouse and not a rat, we asked.

We had 10 families over last night to pick NCAA wrestling teams, get some competitive people in the same room, picking teams to beat each other, and you get a lot of laughs. I feel like I am glad it is Monday and can get some rest - hahahah - NOT!! A trip into town for chemistry lab, band and a concert this evening, practice tonight, an overnight guest, and Lisbon is on spring break with a beautiful day on tap - I am almost positive there will be baseball at the park as well.

I will get my laundry out on the line today - I have been eagerly awaiting the day I could do this.
