playing catch-up!

Where did the last week go? It got sucked into a black hole and I don't remember much.

Happy Birthday Gayle!!

We went to a rockin' surprise birthday party for our dear friend Gayle two Saturdays ago. Joey had been planning the entire Cajun-style party for MONTHS and Gayle never found out- which is so cool! We ate BBQ'd alligator, listened to a groovy Zydeco band, and enjoyed the balloon artists, charicature artists and face painters that Joey had brought in. Everyone had an awesome time! TJ went through probably 10 balloon swords, Coop ran everyone down pushing his stroller in the courtyard and J had the best time playing with all her church friends as a beautiful tabby cat (courtesy of the talented face painting artist). We all took a turn in the face painting chair. It was a fabulous family affair!


The rest of last week is a blur. The only thing that sticks out is how much I hate my job right now. In the middle of an annoying apartment turnover- for so many reasons. Tired of working for the other guy. Tired of my "boss." Almost burnt out. I just have to hunker down and tough it out for a little while longer.

Dave was home all last week for his LAST BREAK between quarters. It was nice to have him here to take J to school and help out during the day. The chillies were in heaven having Dad home to wrestle, play and snooze next to.
