so it’s been a busy week. yeah it’s only wednesday night, but a lot has been going on. friday night carl, cherryl and i went to the george strait concert. blake shelton and julianne hough were the opening acts. i had only heard one of julianne’s songs before other than the cover song she did.  i had forgotten some of the songs that blake shelton sings were his songs. he’s got an odd sense of humor. he sang the free credit report dot com song from the pirate commercial. and as always, george strait put on a really good show.

at some point in the last few weeks, the door bell broke.  the pizza lady informed up of that. thank you pizza lady. who knows how long it’s been busted. we bought a replacement. it’s a wireless one, but we forgot to get something to cap the wires with and you can’t just let wires hang out without something on them. so the new doorbell is on the kitchen table along with the new weed whacker line thing that needed a longer bolt to attach it to the weed whacker.

tuesday the boy got 3 awards at school. and today was the 5th grade promotion for the girl. in the fall i will have 2 kids in middle school. they will both be at the same school next year so i only have one bus stop to go to in the morning.   the nephew will be going to the school here in the neighbor hood. we are too close for a bus to come through so we will have to walk or drive, but since he will be on the same schedule as the boy and girl, i only have one set of school hours to remember instead of the 3 i had to remember this year.

the girl got to go to lunch with carl and some of the guys he works with. thankfully she’s her daddy’s girl and is already a smart alack so she wasn’t corrupted by them.  for example, we had dinner at 5guys with pirate and his girlfriend over the weekend. when pirate asked the girl “what’s up?” in true smart alack style she replied “the ceiling.”  yep she’s definitely one of ours.

tomorrow, i finally get to go for the mri on my jaw. i had to postpone it once because they hadn’t gotten the preauthorization from the insurance company, and then i got a call earlier this week telling me i needed to go to a different office because they can take better images or something. oh yippie! so now i have to drive farther to get the mri. the other place i at least knew where i was going. oh well, that’s that the gps is for.

we have a plastic pool we are going to use for a sandbox. we have to get some more sand, but we have a few bags to start with should it ever stop raining long enough for the lawn to get mowed.  i bought shrinky dinks to play with, and i think we’ll make some playdough next week.

i think that’s all that is going on right now. happy summer!
