I Might Need a Loan!!



With the price of gas increasing as quickly as it is, I want to stay home more!  But of course, lately it seems we have many "necessary" trips to town (which is about 100 miles round trip).

Saturday was the first trip--our nephew was getting baptized.  And then Benjamin's arm was hurt so we stayed even longer.  (So most of my Saturday was spent in town).

Then Monday was Ethan's missionary physical appointment with the doctor.  He was really thorough with his paperwork that he had to do on the computer & then print off.  But he needs his immunization records and he needs a test that they didn't have.  And he also needs to be checked 2 days after his first blood test--so that means another trip to town on Wednesday.  

And the test he'll get on Wednesday (I can't remember what it is or what it is for) needs a follow up 2 days later.  Which means yet another trip to town on Friday.

Thursday is normally a weekly allergy shot for Callum, but I am taking him out of school on Wednesday so I can avoid that trip on Thursday.


Plus--Thursday is our monthly ward temple night, and it is my goal to make it to the temple as often as possible.  But I'm going to see if I can "bum" a ride with someone else, since Rusty can't make it due to parent/teacher conference that evening.

So, if you happen to see me minus an arm or a leg (or even possibly my eldest child), then you know that I've taken one too many trips to town!  (he, he, he!!)

Willing Spring!!

I thought maybe if I wore my "spring" clothes, then spring would visit us!
 So I put on my short sleeved shirt (no jacket)
and my capri pants--and hoped for the best.  I got about an hour of sunshine in the morning.
And that was followed by a hail storm (covered the ground with hail) and afternoon rain sprinkles.  It was nicer by late afternoon/evening, but that is when I had piano lessons, dinner & visiting Rusty's dad).

But I have to say that my spring clothes will stay in my closet a little bit longer because I wore a jacket most of the day, and my legs were cool/cold.
