Yesterday, as we were walking our car-less pool of kids home, my favorite hoodie sweatshirt (which was tied around my waist) got caught by a bent piece of chain link fence and torn.
Luckily, it was a $4 find on the men's clearance rack at Kohl's, and I do have a sewing machine, and it is only a hoodie.
I got a call last night to speak with one of the high councilors in another ward this Sunday when I was already planning on visiting our last ward of Young Women as a Stake YW Presidency.
Luckily, he assigned me a very specific topic and gave me a shorter amount of time than normal, and I can speak about almost anything for 10-12 minutes.
I am down to only one pair of everyday shoes, as my sneakers are wearing out and I haven't yet found another pair I like as much.
Luckily, I still have the one pair I like and they have enough wear left in them that I can keep wearing them until I do find something. And I have the resources that I can buy an new pair when I need them and not on a more limited basis.
The Boy is stressing about his math class. He was up later than normal last night with homework and was near tears when he finally finished.
Luckily, he was nearly crying to Genius Golfer (who took care of it fabulously) and The Boy was probably over tired from Bonus Scouts, Piano, and Football practice today. Plus a good night's sleep always makes things look better in the morning.
The Olympics have over for weeks and were my favorite thing to watch (that week swimming was on), and since then I haven't found much in the way of decent stuff on TV to veg-out with in the evenings.
Luckily, last night saw the return of The Girl's and my favorite regular TV show: Dancing with the Stars. And there is going to be a lot of competition and a lot of lousy dancers to see voted off.
If I didn't see the downer points of life, I couldn't appreciate the high points, right?! That's the way I see it.

Kell was talking about a possible trip to Park City this weekend if you're looking for shoes. I have to pass, got to do stuff at the house.
I didn't know you liked Dancing with the Stars. Gotta love Cloris. "I'm an orphan.....and with being an orphan it brings sadness" She's hilarious!!!!
You should check out one of my favorite children's books. It's called 'Fortunately'. It's written just as this post and was a great book for the boys.
I'll be crossing my fingers you find another $4 jacket and the perfect pair of shoes soon.
