Busy Work...

I really do enjoy track season; I just wish sometimes the meets weren't quite so cold... I covered track in Henderson last week. While is wasn't too bad through much of the day, the track meet was a long one. It didn't get over until 8:30 p.m. Once the sun went down, it cooled off quickly! This weekend was fairly quiet. Friday afternoon, I got to go out to Sandy Creek and "tour" the new concession stand that is being built. You will hear more about that next week. Saturday, we got to eat some grilled hamburgers (yum) and play outside. Sunday, we went to church and then home. It was a rainy day!!! What a nice rain we received over the weekend; a long soaker, just what we needed! Sunday evening, I had friends over for dinner, with smoked brisket on the menu! Everything was finished cooking and I was just getting plates out of the cupboard when I got called out to cover a fire. Luckily, the fire was contained by the time I got there and my every-so-nice friends watched my kids while I took off five minutes after they arrived. I was back home in about an hour and just did some re-heating and we were ready to eat. Like Karys had said to me, I love food this time of year. We get to smoke and grill out meat, eat fresh vegetables and it all tastes so good!! We get more of a variety than what we eat all winter! I got to spend the morning home on Monday. I had some things to cover around noon, and I'm pretty sure I have an ear infection, ugh. I won't complain about the extra time and snuggles I got from my sweet little boy this morning! I did receive a phone call Monday morning with some exciting news from the Deweese Community Club; stay tuned. I also had to make a trip out to Sandy Creek to cover a few things, and while I was there, I was pulled aside and told some more fun, exciting news. You will have to wait a little while to hear about that! I have to give a shout out to Sandy Creek. There are so many wonderful programs and opportunities for kids going on out there! Not only that, but our staff and administration are so easy to talk to and or with. If I ever have any questions, I get answers right away. The fact that our school also allows so many other extracurricular activities to be held out there is just amazing! It really doesn't take much to be welcomed with open arms, and big hellos and smiles out at school. I happen to spend a lot of time out there currently, and most people know me by my first name. It feels great to send my kids to a school where everyone knows them, and the communication is so open! Thank you to Sandy Creek, I am amazed at what the kids are learning and experiencing! We even have some great inventors out there! The end to this school year is quickly approaching!! I can't believe it's almost here. I look forward to graduation, and watching some great kids move forward in life. I can't wait to see what you do with it all!!
