Sometimes it feels so good to just be by myself and do housework. I have a whole whopping 30 min. this morning to do just that. I have laundry going and the dishwasher to empty, but all in all, I feel like this is a breathe of fresh air. The TV is not on, the girls are not home, Tom is at work and I can just think and breathe.
Yesterday, I was called to pick Becca up from camp as she was vomiting in the garbage can. I think she finally had whatever the rest of us had a couple of weeks ago. She had the same symptoms, but this morning she was just fine. I am hoping that we won't have a repeat of yesterday. Laura went with her to camp today as she has been invited to help the art teacher with set designs.
I got a call from our new prinicipal at school. She asked if I would be on a committee to select the new Vice Prinicipal. I was honored and somehow, it reconfirmed that I wasn't supposed to have the nursing job. I know it sounds strange, but I realized that Tom and I really are an integral part of that school and that I wouldn't be able to be there so much as a volunteer, if I had yet another job.
Laura and I barbecued last night. We are doing this in order to get ready for the "Kids Q" in Dillon. Becca and I will Q tonight. It was so much fun, watching my girls cook. Laura made beef and vegetable shish kabobs. We threw some shrimp on the barbie. I made a rum/pineapple/brown sugar/garlic glaze to go on the shrimp. Those shrimp were the best we have had in a looong time. Laura ate about 20 of them, if not more. We were thinking that Laura could do the shrimp for the kid Q, but we are concerned that by the time they get to the judges they would be cold. Too cold. We are going to try a pork tenderloin next.
My sister, Tammie, has agreed to come to Dillon next summer and be one of the dancing chickens for the "Russell Your Feathers BBQ team". Not really, but it is a great mind picture.
May all of you find a mind picture that will make you laugh today.
