Man, this week has kicked my ass with school and work and the baby and St. Louis. I haven't even had time to write about the Bachelorette Party. And every time I load the pictures, something happens. I'll be short...
Bachelorette Party- Hilarious. The most fun I've had in a long time. Jenn did a great job planning it. Molly loves to watch people make an ass out of themselves and the evening provided many an opportunity for that to happen. I don't know if anyone got any pictures of the "Bachelorette Obstacle Course." Thank God there were no sprained ankles during the Dizzy Izzy station. Senior year on Field Day, a fellow senior, Cindy Fernandez, ended up spraining her ankle on the football field. The ambulance drove right up to her. I'm sure it was humiliating. Anyway, no injuries. So, that was good. The night ended with a game called Dressing the Bride or something like that. And I got to be the bride for my team. Jeannette does not do make up well, but other than that, I thought I looked pretty hot. I'll try to download a picture. Stunning, really.
St. Louis- Came back a day early because Hawkins had a slight meltdown. He just needed to be at home. He hadn't slept for two nights and basically cried the whole time. The minute we got him in the car to head home, though, he fell asleep and slept the whole way. He's been fine ever since.
School- The Math class I'm taking this session is pretty lame. And it's squished into a month so it's pretty intense. I thought Teaching Elem. School Math would be pretty easy. You know, "How many pencils does Linda have if she started out with five and JOe took 3?" It's all theory, though, and the teacher is a total dud. I wish I could expostulate on that, but I really don't have time right now. I'm sure she's very nice, but teaching just ain't her thang. And her wardrobe and hair need a serious makeover. It's distracting.
Work- Training in this new position is pretty hardcore. Usually, I've got loads of time at work, but my duties have pretty much tripled. I'm exhausted with this and everything else, too.
The good news is that this weekend, all we've got going is church and a cookout. The church picnic is next week. The meeting with the priest went well. The pastor is pretty liberal and said he welcomed my inviduality when it came to my faith. I signed up to be a lector.
I'm leavin' work. Will try to be funnier and more interesting in the next post. I promise.

great. all we need is another liberal priest, man.
amber, your weekend sounded like so much fun! Dizzy Izzy! oh, man. poor cyndi. that had to have been humiliating. Field Day '95, baby! Coach Kelly wrote me up for screaming out "Field Day Sucks!!" now THAT was humialiting!
I just want to say that Amber and Scott are great parents! In St. Louis they were both tired and stressed, but they were patient with Hawkins and did what was right for him. They totally attended to his needs even when doing so put a "crimp" in their plans. Even though Hawkins was fussy, he is a great baby. (He was out of his element. I totally understand where he was coming from since I wasn't feeling too hot myself and would have liked to cry at times.) Hawkins didn't bother anyone but his parents. (Amber and Scott, get used to it. This will be a common theme throughout your life with your child.) Nora really had a good time with him. Looking at the week that was facing both Amber and Scott, coming home early was the right thing to do for them. Thanks for coming to St. Louis, guys, so we could see you and Hawkins. We really appreciate the sacrifice you made to make the trip.
