Just the Basics

It has just been one of those weeks. Lots going on, lots on the "to do" list that isn't getting done, not sure I even cooked one dinner the week because we weren't here to eat it. SO, today we just did the basics and left it at that. A few necessary errands were run, school was completed, and not one more thing was done -- aahhh!

Let's see, what was crazy about this week? Well, Mackenzie started on enzymes that didn't agree with her, this overshadowed the full week. Sunday we had our community group at the house for the evening. Monday, we had our co-op during the day. We headed to group violin lesson where the teacher didn't make it because she had locked her keys in her car. Mark was late getting home, but for great reasons. He had been nominated to receive an award for being a compassionate doc - yeah to my man :) He didn't "win" the award at the hospital, but

he always gets the award for compassionate husband! (He did win the door prize of a free stay at a swanky hotel in Charleston:) Tuesday, ants invaded Mark's truck due to constant rain that drove them to look for higher ground. That higher ground happened to be the tire of Mark's truck and then the inside of Mark's truck. In case you were wondering, if you set off a bug bomb in a truck it won't damage the upholstery but it will kill 200- 300 ants. Another fact, car outlets don't produce enough voltage to run a shop vac. Wednesday, regular things happened like AWANA for the big girls, and Mackenie's weekly date with Daddy. Thursday, we opened our doors to about 30 folks for a CMDS meeting that needed a place to meet. It was a sweet time with students, residents and a few community docs that have a heart for serving Him as they serve their patients. (Our girls had fun with the kids that came, they also enjoyed entertaining the adults as the meeting numbers began to dwindle.) And that brings us to just basic today!!

Mackenzie is feeling better and very happy to see that our first and most important errand was to pick up her "powder" from the peds. office. Our second errand was to go by the bank and cancel my check card that has been missing all week- talk about overshadowing :( Then home for school. The girls are happily playing and I am chilling at the computer and listening to even more rain - tomorrow we start on the ark! Hopefully Mark will be done with work sooner rather than later and decide he would love to pick up his dinner on his way home. Here's to a better week next week! (and perhaps a weekend in PJs!)
