FF: A Day in the Life

My kids and I have now reached the point in the summer where we have to ask each other, "What day is it?"  We have done a great job reassuring ourselves that we will make great retirees.  Here's a glance at the week past:
On Saturday I looked at every listing on Craigslist under the search, "boat" but I promise I didn't do it while my middle boy and I were on a date to see "Seussical" where two of his "older" female friends were performing.  Who knew that a 10 year old could generate such generous hugs from gorgeous teens?

On Sunday I decided that our air conditioner was broken and decreed that we would not be using it any longer.  Checkered and I agreed that we don't need another boat. Later on Sunday I wore this shoe on my left foot

and this shoe on my right foot.  Yes, they have different sole heights.

While at a meeting at church, I realized my mistake and opted to spend the rest of the meeting bare-footed - which probably generated more attention than the mismatched shoes would have.

On Monday (and after sweltering through a miserably humid night) Checkered changed the temperature setting on our a/c and I learned that it wasn't broken at all.  I had sweated for nothing.  Our beautiful boy worked up the courage (after several YEARS) to run through the water fountain thingies at the mall.  That took immense courage for him.   I also checked the boats on Craigslist about 13 times.

On Tuesday I read the beautiful book, Redeeming Love, by Francine Rivers.  I can't remember who told me to read Ms. Rivers' books, but thank-you!  I also read about a woman who dabs a little lemon juice behind her ears, so I tried it but not a single person or bumble bee noticed my new scent.  I may have checked Craigslist again.

On Wednesday I wished Checkered well on his trip with our Boy Scout and wondered how surprised he might be if I cleaned our room while he was gone, but then I took a little peek at Craigslist instead. I also shared in the joy as another of our children was recognized for his academic excellence. That just happened to take place on the field at the Detroit Tigers' game.

On Thursday I received a call from a nurse who said our insurance company had hired her to help parents like me co-manage our children's asthma.  I thanked her and asked what she would be doing for us.  She replied that she would be sending us a welcome packet of info about children and that she would be following-up with a call NEXT JUNE.

I also sent our daughter on her way with her church youth group.  I do wonder if her blue cowgirl hat will even be in one piece by the time they arrive in Wyoming, but more than that, I wonder why I don't know of any blogs from Wyoming?  I checked the Craigslist posts for boats from my phone, so that doesn't really count.

That brings us to today.  I am well aware that it is Friday.  (Thank goodness for all the Friday memes, otherwise I might not have known.) Thus far I have put on matching shoes and can only imagine what other great things are in store for me! Want to know how everyone else spent the last week?  Go here :)
