Spinning wheels & weekly highlights


I hear the sounds of cars attempting to leave the neighborhood for their destination. Lots of crunching and spinning. It's a snow day...again. All the plans I had for the day are tossed aside and put off until tomorrow, or the next day, or the next day. I've had enough already, really. My refuge was a zumba class this morning. Guess what? Yep, cancelled. The man is home from work today, sick with what he thinks is the flu, so now all of the weekend plans are put on hold until he feels better. But it doesn't bother me too much. Luckily I have a project or two for these idle hands.

Here's a summary of our week:

- Monday: NO SCHOOL! I took Bryce to have two of his baby molars pulled due to crowding issues. We were both really nervous about this (so much that I almost rescheduled the appointment), but it turned out to be no big deal. He slept most of the afternoon and went off to school the next day. Oh, and the tooth fairy was VERY good to him for being so brave!

- Tuesday: My first kid-free day in almost a month. I worked at our church for a couple of hours, putting together bags for our F.U.E.L program. These bags go home with children from Cason Lane Academy and Scales, providing them with food for the weekend. It did me some good to put aside all of my selfish needs and help out people in our community that are in need.

- Wednesday: Got to the gym at 8:31 for a spin class that started at 8:30. All of the bikes were taken. I tried to suck it up and spend as much time as possible on the elliptical.

- Thursday: I did some much needed "grooming"! Colored my hair, waxed my brows (meant to work in a manicure, but put it off for another day). It was nice just to sit at home and enjoy the peace and quiet.

Glad you got a little you time in this week, along with a little volunteerism. Both are good for the soul.
