Let's pretend like you did miss me and need to catch up on what is going on around here!
1. I am working like a dog on a proposal. Do dogs work 60 hours a week? Cause that is what I worked last week! Intense, time consuming, spreadsheets on top of spreadsheets on top of spreadsheets. I would like to say there is light at the end of the tunnel but I am just not sure. It may be a train headed right for me! Working proposals is one of those things where you feel like you have it all together and then one little thing changes and the whole thing goes to hell in a hand basket. I have been to hell in a hand basket about three times this week. It is not fun there. And a hand basket is a terrible way to travel. Almost done!
2. Harry got a job with the Express Baseball team! Momma is so happy! It is only a seasonal position as the Communications Assistant, but it is doing exactly what he loves to do! He will be writing, doing post game interviews with the player of the game, maybe live tweeting, all the things that make him tick! Last night, he posted his first post game summary article that you can read here if you are interested! He is thrilled! I am so appreciative to my extraordinary friends who put a good word in for him! Thank you!!!!
3. Harry has also interviewed this week with two colleges for jobs that will hopefully start after the Express season is over. He has not heard back from them yet, so fingers crossed that one of those works out and can be a follow up to this work he is doing now! Or wouldn't it be magical if the Express job turned into something full time and year round? A momma can dream!
4. Speaking of colleges, my Chip started college last Tuesday, taking a summer history class at the local Community College to forgo taking history next year as a Junior in high school. It is a six week course that runs Monday through Thursday for two hours. It seems like as soon as I drop him off and get home, I am turning around that picking him up! Harry did the same thing the summer after his sophomore year and it was totally worth the effort to secure the sacred Off Period in high school!
5. My poor Cooper is suffering from boredom with his mother's increased workload. We hit the dog park at 6:45 a.m. twice last week to beat the heat and also the teleconferences. My sweet friend Lori is kind enough to meet me out there and it really has been pleasant! And BONUS you get to the see the sunrise and the sky look like it is on fire! I actually got out of my car and thanked God out loud for giving us such amazing beauty.
6. I made this concoction last week with brown rice noodles and it was delicious. A little bok choy, bean sprouts, broccolini, carrots and chicken. Both of my boys ate it! So, basically it is a MIRACLE on a platter.
7. Best news of the week....my Love Box group FINALLY got together with our Love Box Family! It was awesome! I am over the moon happy that we get to walk alongside this foster family! Seven kids! Five of them are under six! Woo Hoo! We romped at Catch Air and treated them to a meal at a pizza joint. It was so fun and I can't wait for the next time!
Well, that is it! All I have for the night. My brain is empty. I am toast.
Hope all is well and you guys will shoot me an email or leave me a message to let me know you are still out there! Have a fantastic weekend!
