February 1996

January 31 – 21/31
                     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.
