Sunday the day of rest, hahaha, rest?? What is that? Started out the morning with shower, coffee, getting kids ready for church/baseball, managed to finish getting myself ready and pack up all of my work stuff for a college fair this afternoon. Joey dropped off Isaac with his coach, since he is playing fall baseball they have double headers every Sunday and he had to be there at 11am. Joey and I wanted to make sure we made it to Church, they started a new series called "Dirty Little Secrets" and really have felt lead to be at every service (you know, in need of some Jesus lately). Ely likes the church so much that when he walked in the door he snagged his tag from me and ran down the hall to his class. Love that! Ethan is a big boy now and sits in service with all the adult. So we headed to service. I actually took notes (helps me pay attention, think I have ADD sometimes). The message was great and just what I needed. After church was over I quickly kissed Joey and ran out the door to work the Tulsa College Connections Fair. I hate the weekend and night fairs, but thankfully there are not very many. This fair officially kicks off my 'busy season' I rolled in with all my stuff, set up my table, and waited for the parents and kids to come through. Standing on your feet in heels on concrete for four hours is not fun, but got several good leads for this year. Being a high school recruiter is fun, I get to travel, visit schools, do presentations about our school and how important college is. At 4:05pm I had all my stuff packed up (after the first 10 fairs you learn to set-up and pack up in minutes) and I then headed out the door. During the fair Isaac had two games, they lost both, but oh well. Isaac played first base, pitched, and then third base. Had a mom give me updates via text messages to keep up. Joey had to make sure Ethan and Isaac made it to a birthday party and then headed to Isaac's game.
Rolled in to the house around 4:30pm, heated up left-overs for dinner and chilled for a few minutes on the couch. Got my weekly phone call from my new sister A'lisha and spent the next 2-3 hours (lost track) on the phone with her, got about 30 years to catch up on, so the conversations last a while. She is coming with her family October 1st-11th, so we made our plans to see each other. While I was talking to her, Joey managed to help out with laundry, boys did dishes, took baths, cleaned their rooms (daily battle) and went to bed. (Thanks honey for helping out) got off the phone around 10pm and realized, oh crap, I forgot I have to take my final for my operations management class.....ugh, hate the finals!! I decided to work on the test with my friend and classmate Molly, so we did it via Skype. Well, I have never done Skype before so I set that up and Molly was super amazing on giving me pointers with using it. Loved it. We took the 42 question test in less than two hours and scored high enough that I should get all my points. Yippee! After that, I put together our learning team paper....fun stuff. Joey gave up on me and went to bed as I was working on the paper.
So, now it is almost 1:30am, I am still up, need to get up around 6:30am to get the kids off to school, input my leads into a spreadsheet, call and cofirm my attendace to my upcoming fairs, re-stock my supply for my fair at Union High School from 5-8pm. I usually have class on Monday nights from 6-10pm, but I can't be there since I have the fair. Sucks because I will lose 4 participation points. (I really think they should give you the points if you have to miss due to work, but well, not that easy I guess). So, my Monday will be busy. Joey has football practice for Ely, Isaac has football practice, and well Ethan has swim practice. Not sure how I am getting ethan to and from swim yet.....another thing I have to figure out tomorrow. Just another day in my crazy life.
While writing this post a show called "Children's Hospital" came on. Ummmm can I just say, wow. Adult Swim is weird. And there are several well know actors on the show. Henry Winkler for one...just an odd show that I guess was supposed to be funny. The best part was the preview for "Easy A", I so wanna see that show. I know, I know, more teen-like, but wow I love the concept of the movie.
I am going to call it a night, at 1:45 am I feel that if I don't attempt to go to sleep then I will be a real monster in the morning.......good night all......
