What a busy week!

This has been a busy week and it's not over yet. My Tuesdays are always busy anyway, then Jordan and I went to spend some time with a dear friend on Wed. We used to see her and her daughter all the time, but since summer came, and everyone's busy and gone, it's been pretty near impossible. It did me good to be around her, she's like me: she has every reason to claim "I'm a victim" yet she goes through life with a positive, loving attitude, always the first one to help, and never asking for anything in return. She's always so happy. When I don't get spend time with her for a while, I find myself getting too serious. She reminds me that you can't control life anyway, so have fun with it.

Thursday I got to see another friend I've missed, along with her step-daughter. We spent time talking about everything we've been dealing with lately, and stuff that we need answers for. We're able to be honest with one another - what you see is what you get - no pretenses - and encourage one another to grow and become better. Afterwards, we spent about 2 hours in and around the pool. It was perfect because it forced me to get fresh air when I probably would've spent most of the day writing on the computer, otherwise.

Friday was Adam's 8th grade graduation, so it was a little crazy...we (us and Tim's parents) drove downtown, dropped Adam off for practice, drove to 2 car dealerships, picked up Tim, picked up Adam, ate supper at a slow-paced restaurant, then the ceremony itself - all in the same 6 hours.

Today was okay, we had a small celebration for Jordan's 10th bday (Sunday), and I had to run Adam to a friend's on the other side of town. Oh yeah, and I had about 4 loads of laundry to do!

Sunday we try out a new church. It's one of the ones on TV, so I'm already skeptical. Then I have to practice my drums and spend the rest of the day writing my Genesis curriculum so I'll be done before Sept. 8th.

Monday I take Jordan to the tea house for her real bday celebration: The 2 of us, 2 of my friends, and their 2 daughters, Jordan's friends. We only get with them once a year, so we really look forward to the quality time we get with them.

Tuesday - the week starts all over again - busy!
