Also June 22, 2008 Or Groundhog Day Southern Style



Typical Mommy Day.  Greg left for the week.  This week Utah.  Next Week, Arizona.  And the next week, Washington DC.  It will be nice when this program takes flight (literally) and the travel slows down.

Back to my day.  Heavy heart.  Still worried about Missy.  Will she get out of Beirut on Thursday?  How is her family?  Are things better with Peter?  How are her kids handling this?  Are they safe?  I pray for protection and the peace that passes our understanding.

Time to shower, feed kids, chauffeur kids, go to Commissary, put groceries away, pick up Hannah, take her to dentist, (mind is now worrying about Roo...how is her day going...is Harrison being nice?  How are things with Matt?  Are co-workers still divided?  Can she keep her head held high?  Will she sleep or worry tonight:?)  Hannah is finished at the dentist, time for some lunch, a very late lunch...Drive across town, get Matthew, take kids home, change Matthew for swim lessons.  I might as well work out while there, so I get changed too.  Wait, plants need watering before leaving...do I have time to go to FoxNews.com and check on Hezbollah?  Greg calls, he's in Salt Lake City and shocking, there's a temple there...On to the gym, Matthew keeps saying he wants a "Hopscotch."  What is he talking about???  I put my brain into the place of a 4 year old.  We are headed to gym, he is carrying Dum Dums for Miss Earline, aha, he wants a butterscotch sucker...At gym, need child care card for Hannah...They're out.  Miss Earline saves the day and takes her without the card.  Deliver Matthew to pool for lesson, go workout...time to pick up Matthew, he forgot his backpack and I was too distracted with Hezbollah and McAllister's homosexual/racial divide to notice.  Matthew now distraught he doesn't have dry clothes.  Miss Earline provides shorts, okay, he's going commando.  Leave gym, arrive home to find The Boyfriend is there, that's a good sign.  Time for a little dinner and putting kids to bed...this goes well.  We do a movie ;No Country for Old Men...;this reminds me to stick with non-violent movies.  I get a good laugh at Roo doing her turtle impression under the blanket...I go eat a banana.  Movie ends, boyfriend leaves, time for bed so we can do at all over tomorrow. Today.
