Windy Sunday!

WOW! The wind out there today is crazy!!! We have been watching the weather worrying about my husband's parents and grandparents! They always seem to be in the line of tornadoes! So far, so good! There was a tornado last night that hit really close to our friends in Enid, but we found out this morning, that they are fine. I guess it officially tornado season!

We had a wonderfully relaxed weekend. I got to catch up with some old friends and hang out with little Dane (4) on Friday. Kids are hilarious. Every time he wanted to ask me a question, get my attention, or just simply wanted to say something he said, "Um.. excuse me..." Precious. I REALLY appreciate the value of parents teaching their children manners. In today's world, it seems like it is few and far between. We cleaned the house Friday night (what has happened to my exciting life) and were in bed by 10:30pm. Saturday we worked in the yard and I planted flowers in pots. We all know that I am not the best "green thumb" in the world so I am starting with pots. So far, so good, but it has only been 24 hours. Later that day, my friend Jami came up to see our house and brought the family. I feel bad because I overloaded them with sugar. They found every nook and cranny in my house that had candy and then I baked them homemade chocolate chip cookies. They were on a sugar high. Jami let me know later that they crashed on the way home. Hey... at least they were not wound up for the 45 minute drive home! I told her that rules do not apply when they are at Aunt Amy and Uncle Z's house!

Today we tried a new church.... still looking.... Why is it so hard to find the perfect church? We go to so many churches that our friends go to and love, but it is just not the right one for us! I feel like we will know that the church is for us the first time we go. Maybe I am setting my expectations too high. After church we went to my grandmothers, but stopped at a new shoe store, where I bought 2 new pairs. I have an addiction. Everyone please keep my grandmother in your prayers. For those that know her personally, you know that she is one tough broad. My mother, bless her heart, tends to be a little over dramatic when she describes how my grandmother is doing but this time I saw it for my own eyes. She is not well. We are very concerned about her. All good thoughts and prayers are appreciated!

Wednesday is our conference call with Dr. El'Dahdah in Chicago. She is so nice. Just from the one conversation and one email I have had with her, I already feel at ease. I will make sure and blog Wednesday night so everyone knows how it went. Well, actually, as I say that, it might be Thursday because I have a Junior League meeting Wednesday. I am sitting here watching The Wrestler with my husband because he wanted to see it. I think I would rather stab needles in my eyeballs. I don't know, there is something about Mickey Rourke that bugs me! Everyone have a great week!
