Wow

So I have had a very trying time lately. Last Wednesday my in-laws arrived and even though they said it was not a tourist visit, that is what it became. They went to several churches in the Tucson area. They took the kids to a tea room also in Tucson. We all did the Sonoran Desert Museum and San Xavier Mission. We went to Bisbee and they spent the day in antique stores. It was very overwhelming. I am not a see all the sights sort of person. Don't get me wrong, it was a very nice trip. In addition to that my mother in law also cut out two patterns for dresses for Abby, folded clothes, cleaned the dishes a lot, and cleaned Abby's room. She is always very helpful. I just didn't have any time to breath.


Here is what I did while the tourists were here. On Wednesday I had lecture from 8am to 5pm. That included two hour long exams. Then I went to the store and got the rest of what I needed to make a fantastic dinner. Shrimp Scampi is now my favorite meal. I finished cleaning the house and doing the dishes, I made the bed for the In-Laws and I folded clothes. At 7pm they arrived. Dinner was ready and hot, and anyone who knows me knows that to be impressive. Thursday was Bisbee. We wanted to go to the Bisbee Breakfast club but they were on vacation. I hung out till almost 11am and then had to dash back to attend a Lab. Lab finished and I almost forgot the kids had early release from school. Oh, and I had the neighbor kids as well. Got home, got settled and then I had to leave at 5pm for clinicals. Clinicals ended at 11pm and I needed to run to Walmart to get trim for the dresses we were to make. I didn't get home till nearly midnight. Friday, back to school at 9am. I had to do my skills returns. Last day. It took nearly 4 hours. Off to lunch. Hubby's birthday and his parents were treating. Met them and then had to dash out for a 2pm meeting. I was late. I had to wait till 3pm for the next meeting. Oh, how fun. Back home by four and off to clinicals at 5pm again. My, I am getting exhausted just thinking about this. Clinicals ran till 11pm them home to bed. Nope, MIL was watching a movie and I sat up with her. Saturday was the Sonoron Desert Museum, the San Xavier Mission, and Chipotle's for dinner. Sunday was church and more I am sure. Monday was family pictures at 11am then lunch out. In-Laws left at 4pm. So now I can breath.

Well not really. You see, I have the start of two fabulous little dresses and they need to be sewn before I forget we cut them out. Oh, I will forget and find them when Abby is in the 8th grade. Finished one on Monday, one on Tuesday, and just for fun made one more on Wednesday. Today was my day of rest. I only cleaned the floor on my hands and knees and had the alignment done on the van.





I love Spring Break. Such a restful time.

Does that mean when you move out to Kansas with me (I hope, I hope) then you won't be into all the stuff we do every weekend?

That is a great picture. Abby looks so much like Aaron!
