Yes, I know it's been well over a week since my last entry. You'll understand why as you read what has gone on since the last time I posted!
The biggest thing that happened was that my dear dad got a new left hip! Yep, he finally took the plunge & had a hip replacement. It happened bright and early Monday morning. Fortunately, Scott was able to take the day off & handle things at home so that I could spend the day with my mom & siblings waiting for Dad's surgery to be over. Everything went smoothly at the hospital & dad was in his room by late morning. As of today, he's walking & very ready to go home. Now if the docs would just release him! I can hardly wait to see the change in his walk...hopefully it will be goodbye pain & limping!
Scott did a great job being "mom" for 24 hours. I left on Sunday afternoon and headed to Michael & Kim's house for the night. Scott had a long list of things to do while I was gone. He managed getting the kids to their activities, feeding them, making sure that they were clean, he did homework, laundry & even changed all of the bedding in the house. He said that he was ready to get back to his usual job on Tuesday.
Jake had 2 baseball games last week. Friday night was a make up game & it poured during the entire 2 hours we were there. The boys didn't look good & we lost. Sunday's game was a little better. We looked good & scored some runs. We looked decent. Jake got on base twice on Sunday, not because of hitting the ball but because of a walk & a wild pitcher that hit him. Jake's having some trouble hitting the ball. We've been working with him nightly and when he does get a piece of the ball, it goes so far. Just got to get him consistent in his hitting!
Jake had a soccer game on Saturday. They lost. Jake had several assists and looked good again. The team looked better this time too. One more game & then the long tournament weekend. Hopefully we can get a win!
Allie is practicing like crazy for her end of the year dance recital. She can hardly wait to hit the stage again!
The kids had Beach Day at school last week. They had a student council picnic this week.
My sister & her kids came for a visit over the weekend. We had a nice time hanging out. They got to see Jake's soccer game & he was thrilled. Maddie is so funny! She had me laughing a ton.
Allie had a playdate with her buddy Ryan. Jake had playdates with Jacob O & a b-day party for Nick.
I had a carnival meeting last week. Looks like I have agreed to co-chair it again this year. We have our committees set & October will be here before we know it.
I've been working in the library at the kid's school. I have been really busy there, but am enjoying myself. The Talent Show is quickly approaching. Both kids have an act ready to go. Snow cone days are coming up too & I'm handling that.
Not much left of the week...a baseball practice, a PTA pickup, work, Jake's poetry fair, Gold Star Teacher Award program, soccer practice, Talent Show practice and the long holiday weekend. Scott is working on Saturday. We have NO plans on Sunday and Jake has a baseball game on Monday. Allie wants to go to a movie & Jake wants to hit some baseballs...I think we can squeeze those things in on Sunday!
