Where did the week go?
I am sitting here waiting for Laura, Andrew and Lucy to arrive. They will be here for the weekend as our little Lilly is going to be baptized.
Let's see.
We have had a puppy since Monday. That made the week...extra interesting.
She is such a sweet girl, and she tries very hard, but she really needs another puppy to wrestle with. No, we aren't going to get another one. Karma is going to go hang out with a foster family that has a young puppy and no babies. Her desire to chew is becoming quite apparent! All over the rugs, furniture and kids.
I worked on Wednesday night organizing a home office. It was interesting. I am still amazed that people pay for this! The family was very nice and the work went well. I am looking forward to developing my own clients, because it is kind of hard working on a job in the middle of someone else's vision. I think it's easier when you are able to sit down and visualize order at the beginning of the job, then work through a system to achieve it.
I was out last night and when I got home, Tim noticed that the water pressure seemed kind of low. It seemed to keep getting lower. So it turned out that there was a water main break down the hill from us. UGH!!! I had to call April this morning at six to tell her that there was still no water and that we would be unable to have Christian here today. Then Tim went down to Walmart to get water for drinking, just in case. There have been breaks down in the city that have left people without water for days!
We packed up and went to Mass and when we got home we only had to wait about 1/2 hour and it was back on. It's always amazing what we take for granted.
After we got school finished and lunch out of the way, we went to Bel Air to run some errands. I needed to shop for a gift for Lilly and also the stuff for a cake and so on. I also had to water for a lovely lady that I work for occasionally. She has a houseful of plants. Well, we went and did the shopping and then, because I was preoccupied, we came all the way home for dinner and I realized that I had forgotten the plants! So back to Bel Air dragging three very patient boys along! We got it done and then came home, Tim was here and so John stayed with him while the other two boys and I went for a walk with Karma. Then I had to get the house cleaned and the cake baked before the weekend. Man, I'm bushed!!!
I am excited about Lilly's baptism though.
Tomorrow we are having a "teaching Mass" at Good Shepherd for the homeschoolers in the parish. I am so glad that Fr Jay wanted to do this. I am going to take lots of pictures.
So I guess I will head outside with her highness one last time. At least we don't have to get up TOO early, and we can shower first thing!
