21/29
42/60
1 – Michael won his wrestling match tonight. Though he didn’t
pin his opponent, he won 17-3. One more point and he would have had a 5 point
win.
3 – Michael went to the JV district meet today but wasn’t
allowed to wrestle because of his ringworm. I don’t understand why they let him
wrestle Thurs. but not today. If they hadn’t let him wrestle Thurs. I would
have taken him to the doctor.
Naomi had her first Jazzercise class today. I think she
enjoyed it.
Stephen spent some time working on getting the closet unit
up in Michael’s room.
8 – Today was the Poudre High School Dedication. It was held
during the school day so the students could be involved. It was a nice
ceremony.
Afterwards, Stephen & I switched cars so Michael could
drive Naomi and me home. It was the first time I had been in the car while
either of the boys were driving. It wasn’t too bad but I don’t know if I’m
ready to travel in heavy traffic with them yet.
9 – Michael went to the doctor today. His hip is still
bothering him so Dr Paddack is sending him to a different therapist. I think
the biggest thing is for Michael to do the exercises regularly, but of course
Mom doesn’t know anything and dare not “nag.”
10 – Well, we finally moved Michael into his new room today.
There is still a lot of work to be done but the blinds are up and the closet
unit is done so we went ahead and put him in. Both boys were really excited
about it.
12 – Stephen came home for lunch today & brought me
flowers. They are white carnations with red streaks and solid red ones. They
are very pretty. Since he has meetings for the next 3 days, he wasn’t sure if
he would be able to do it on Wednesday.
13 – Stephen & the children went to a basketball game at
Poudre tonight. They were playing Ft. Collins and lost. Apparently, the refs
were not too good and the Collins fans were really nasty. Of course, all of
this did not sit well with Peter and he got into one of his critical,
criticizing moods. When Stephen reprimanded him, Peter yelled at him then told
everyone to just shut up. Stephen ended up taking his driver’s license away
till Saturday.
14 – Naomi had 2 teeth pulled today. They were baby teeth
that should have come out long ago since they have no roots left. While she was
at the dentists I went to take Stephen’s lunch to him. On the way, I stopped at
King Soopers and got an individual heart shaped cake and a boquet of balloons
to give to him. He was quite surprised when I arrived at the office.
15 – I picked up the Girl Scout cookies today. We got 149
cases. Diana Grant came with her van to help. Thank goodness! By the
time we had unloaded them from the cars and Naomi & I had them mostly
sorted I was exhausted. I would have gone right to bed but I had to go to an
IBPAB meeting tonight.
16 – Stephen & I want to the Fiesta de Amor tonight. It
was very nice. We shared a table with the Lever, the Bucks, & the Wrights.
We had some kind of chicken & saffron rice. I was surprised it was not some
kind of Mexican meal. The youth did a good job with the serving and the
entertainment. I wore my angel costume from the cantata 2 years ago.
17 – This morning Peter & I went to cantata practice
from 9:30 – 11:30. I think it is going to be great.
This afternoon our Girl Scout troop had a cookie booth at
King Soopers. We sold far more cookies than I expected. Everyone kept saying
that no one had come to their door this year.
18 – this afternoon Naomi and I sorted her cookies and went
out to deliver. She really did not sell many door to door. Fortunately everyone
was home except for 2 families here on Foxtail. That will make it easy for
trying again.
Stephen takes Michael
to drive on the freeway. At first the speed makes Michael nervous but he does
well and gets up to 65.
19 – That a day. First off we got Naomi & Stephen to CSU
by 8:00 for her booth. Then I flew over to the church for Moppets. I had only 8
children but 3 “helpers.” I think I would have done better by myself. Then I
raced over to pick up 4 more cases of cookies before going back to CSU to take
over from Stephen. It’s a good thing I got the extra cases. Out of the 252
boxes I ordered for 2 days of booths, we only have 24 left!
20 – Peter had Tim Rorabaugh over this evening for their
prayer time. He had play practice that was supposed to last till 6:30 but
actually got out at 6:50. From there we picked Tim up and brought him home.
Stephen had a Boy Scouts parents meeting and was
disappointed at the turnout. Next time he plans to call parents the night
before to remind them.
22 – I went to Life Group for the first time in ages. I
really enjoy going! When I got home Stephen told me that he had called his
folks and they will leave Saturday & get her Monday. I’m glad he called so
I could have a little warning!
23 – Michael left tonight for camping with the scouts.
Originally he planned on going up tomorrow with Stephen & Peter but at the
last minute he decided to get ready & go up this afternoon.
24 – Stephen and Michael left this morning for the Klondike Derby with
the Scouts. Peter decided not to go because he had a cold and doesn’t want to
risk being to sick for the play.
25 – Stephen & Michael got home today. They really
enjoyed themselves. They slept together in a snow cave, went snowshoeing, and
Michael lost his glasses in a snowball fight. Fortunately Norm Brown was able
to find them.
26 – Stephen’s folks got here today. We were a little bit
concerned because it snowed all day. Fortunately it didn’t stick to the road or
cause them to be slick. They got here about 2:30-3:00, got their hotel room,
rested for a while, then came over for dinner.
Track practice started today. It lasts from 3:30-5:00. Then
Peter’s play practice goes from 5:30-?. He won’t get to see his grandparents at
all!
27 – Michael had a wrestling awards dessert pot luck
tonight. Afterwards we went to watch Peter practice for a little bit. At least
he got a chance to say hello to his grandparents.
29 – Peter’s play opened tonight. He said the cast did very
well but the tech crew had some trouble.
