busy weekend!

This weekend was busy. Saturday I was at school all day....finishing mock board and taking clients during the afternoon. In the evening, we headed to my Uncle's house in Reedley to visit with family and have a delicious meal. We left around 8:30 and about half way home I realized that I had forgot my purse in their hallway. Back to Reedley we went. At least the boys were able to fall asleep in the car.
Sunday we went to church in the morning and the headed to Visalia to visit David's family. We got there at 1:30 and hung out there until 8:30. What a long day. David's Mom had got a ticket during the week in Exeter and we went over the ticket with her, even driving to the location to see the "scene of the crime". The ticket had been written by one of my friends from a long time ago, but David doesn't like the guy so he went above and beyond to show them how to fight the ticket. I dunno, but the guy is a Lieutenant....the chances of winning that ticket are slim!
Monday we had planned to go to the coast for the day, but we were so tired from the last two days we didn't end up going. We slept in, did yard work and took the boys to Toys-R-Us for a reward for all their hard work. I was really surprised at how much work they did. Even Quinten who hates to help or assist with any project we want to do worked his little booty off. That night I made Verenika. It was really late by the time they were done and the boys hated them. David and I pigged out so it wasn't a complete waste.
Monday we went to the zoo with one of Gavin's little friends from school, and his parents. It was raining, but what little boy doesn't like the rain? We saw the reptiles and the bear....and on and on and on. It was nice to walk around and check it all out.
Now back to the work week. I am guessing that there will be a lot of people coming in for Easter makeovers. Last night I found out my State Board date...yikes! I only have a little over 2 months to go.

Motorcycle story #1

I was not very comfortable when David told me this morning that he was going to take out his motorcycle. For one, he hasn't rode a motorcycle in, oh, 3 1/2 years. And secondly, he was going riding with experienced riders....who drive fast.
So he leaves this morning at about 9:45 and to take my mind off of things, I went to Costco. When I get back about an hour later, I thought he would be home. Nope. He was still gone.
He called at about 11:15 to tell me he would be home shortly. I was happy he was still alive and nthat othing bad had happened.
When he came home he pulled into the garage and parked the motorcycle in it's place. He got off his motorcycle and let go of it...only he forgot to put the kick stand down. CRASH. There was this expensive piece of equipment laying on our garage floor. I can't believe it. Off came the rear view mirror and here came some brand new scratches! Seriously David? It isn't even out of our garage!! What a lame way to get scratches on a bike. At least he is safe though and wasn't hurt during his ride. I see this "hobby" being a little more costly then originally estimated.
