It's Tues now and it's the first time since Fri I've been able to get back on here. On the weekends I do try and sleep in. Sat we all slept till 9 and relaxed till lunch. Dh took us out for lunch, then summer shopping for the kids. The girls have been wanting flip flops for about a month now, so they finally got them. We also bought shorts for R and N since both kids have either worn out their old ones, or have out grown them. shirt wise they're both fine. S will have N's old stuff so she's fine.
While at Walmart, I happened to see the patio set I've been wanting. I showed dh and he was liking it also. The only thing he was concerned with is the padding that's on the chairs is not washable. This means that every night we will have to bring in my cushions. I told him that's not a problem. I also mentioned that I wanted a bit of a patio out in the back. Nothing fancy, just cement ladi out so the patio furniture is level. Dh was fine with that. Now we just need to find a local handyman that will do it. Guess I'll have to ask our next door neighbor if he could suggest someone.
We're also getting a new swingset for the kids. Our old one was old and starting to fall apart when we got it, but it was free and dh was able to settle it at the time. Unfortunately over time, it has become unsettled and the kids have all grown so we need a new one.
On Sunday, I was released from my visiting teaching calling. I was the coordinator, which after awhile, I was fine with. The only frustration I had was when I couldn't get 2 of the supervisors to contact me or their sisters. So now instead of that calling, I'm now in charge of the ward bulletin each week. Or in other words, the program. I get to make sure that all announcements that need to be made, are made. All songs for that week are there and whatever else is there. Should be interesting.
Yesterday, we Memorial Day. I told dh I didn't really have anything planned other than just relaxing. I completely forgot about parades. Guess I'll have to remember that for next yr. So we spent the day just being outside playing. We also went out for lunch again. Felt bad for dh because he's still not feeling well from his sore throat. He hides it well from the kids, but I could tell by watching him. It's been over a week and still ouch. And then a cough on top of that.
Anyway, the rest of the day was spent at home playing some more outside and making sure the lawn was cleaned up so dh could mow. Our lawn was behind in mowing at least 2 times. But our schedules have been so busy the last 2 weeks, so it hasn't been possible. I have thought that dh should have R start doing it. That way dh's back doesn't always feel bad. I think dh is a bit uncomfortable with R doing is since dh likes it done a certain way. We shall see. :)
So today we're back to regular schedule, sort of. We will be headed to the library, but it'll be a Tues rather than Mon. Then Tues afternoon, we revert to Tues happenings. Then tonight we have our normal classes. I also have a bit of visiting teaching to do, and turn over to the new Visiting teaching coordinator. Should be a busy night. We'll see how it goes.
My neck muscle attached to my shoulder muscle is still sore. I haven't mentioned it because I've been just kind of ignoring it. But it's becoming a real pain lately. Everytime S sits on my lap, she gets wiggly and puts pressure on the muscle. Ouch!
