Meetings, meetings, meetings

That seems to be all work is about lately! I've had lots of meetings. They've been ok though. Things are really hectic this week because Child Count is next Monday. Child Count is what gives us money for special needs children so that we can serve them the best possible. That means to me that I have to have lots of meetings so that we can get these kids in & get the money for them. They said it used to be in December...that makes more sense to me. But anyway! David volunteered to work 10-7 today, so I'm all sad & lonely. Oh, I have another good e-mail to post, hopefully I'll get around to it soon!

Didn't work

I know it's been a while since I posted, but a lot has gone on in the past few weeks. I'll try to post more later. I was trying to post a cute picture from an e-mail that my mom sent me, but it didn't work. =( It's an e-mail called "why dogs bite." If anyone is interested, I can send it to you. Here is something funny that a friend sent to me...see if you remember!

Who would have thought youd miss the 90's so much?

I remember most of these, but not all!

Round 2

Oh my goodness...I have gone through round 2 of being sick. It didn't help that I never really got over round 1. I went back to the doctor on Tuesday, so 2 dr. visits, 2 shots, & 4 prescriptions later, I'm finally getting better. I may have been better before now, but it all started on Saturday...Saturday was En Fuego, & we went to be supportive of the band. At first it was extreme heat, but then it finally got cloudy & cooled off a little. Well, right as they were getting ready to play, here comes a bad storm with lots of lightening. They went on or a white in the rain, but when it started lightening, they stopped & made everyone get back. We went & got into the RV that Jamie's grandparents had. We were soaked, & it was really cold in the RV so it didn't help any. They eventually did get to play, even though their set was shortened & they cut the 2nd set. After they played, we went to eat on the way home. We were exhausted by the time we got to bed! I haven't slept well this week, & with being sick I have just been worn out! I'm so happy for the long weekend. Oh, we had another fun band experience on Thursday night. They asked David to go pick up the van, since they had to leave it at the airport when they flew out on Wednesday. So we went, along with Malerie & Amelia, to find the van. Imagine trying to find a big white van in the huge parking deck that is the airport. Really the only place we thought they could park would be the 1st floor, but it wasn't there. Or on the other 7 floors. After driving around the airport parking deck for an hour, & not being able to get the guys because they were in flight, we finally got in touch with them & found out that they weren't in the deck at all - they were in a satellite deck about a half mile down the road. It was an interesting night, to say the least. Well, I think that's all I have to report now...school is going great, but I'm getting tired of meetings! I better go - we have a dance we're doing for tomorrow that I so need to work on!
