Sunday, June 14

Today was a somewhat busy day. Today I was home with the kids in the morning since Heather had spent the night at her friend Sara’s last night, and my mom had left already for the last day of her conference. We got up around 8:30 and had breakfast, well at least the kids had breakfast. Andrew had some oatmeal and Bella had some Kix cereal. I spend most of the morning using my new scanning program to make digital copies of different statements and important papers. Today I started with making a digital copy of my 401(k) papers. The kids decided they wanted to go to the park, so we got dressed and Heather met us at the school park so that Andrew could ride his scooter and they could play on the slides and monkey bars. After the park, Heather and Bella went home to do a couple things there while Andrew and I went to Costco to get gas, and then to Fred Meyer to pick my insulin and deposit some cash into the bank. We came home after Freddy’s and picked up Heather and Bella and went to pick up Valerie at her hotel since her meeting was over. We went to the South center Mall and had lunch at The Rainforest Cafe. Our last experience there was nice, except that when we ordered the kids meals of chicken tenders they each got a ton which was a total waste of food. So this time we only ordered one meal to split between them and when it came out it was really small. I was out walking around with Bella because the gorillas we were seated next to would scare here when they moved around. We came back after the food had been delivered so I missed Heather’s comments to the server, but she was not happy. So we ended up ordering another meal for the kids so that they had enough. Lets just say that we are not going to be going back there again anytime soon. After lunch we walked around the mall a bit before getting in the truck and taking Valerie to the airport for her flight back to Medford. After we dropped her off, we drove back home and got there before my mom made it back. Her meeting had ended at 3:45 and we dropped Valerie off at 4pm. We weren’t sure who would make it home first so we had left one of our keys in a hiding spot for my mom in case she was the first home. The kids and Heather went down for a nap around 4:45pm. I stayed awake as my mom was just getting back and we had plans to see the 6:50 showing of Terminator Salvation. I enjoyed this flick and will have to rent it when it comes out so that Heather can see it. I was hoping that this movie would put a close to the Terminator story line, but it didn’t quite. The way the left it, if they wanted to make more movies they could, though I really hope they don’t. We came home after the movie and hung out before bed time. Oh, and I took my fitness test before we went to the movie. My BMI was down from yesterday, but my fitness age was back up to 32 from 29 yesterday. I’m laying in bed writing this, so now that I’m done, I’m going to go brush my teeth and get ready for bed. Talk to you all again soon. (I say “all of you” even though I don’t think anyone is actually following this blog yet). Goodnight!
