Sunday & Monday.....

This is a photo I took at a park in Germany.

Sunday…I’ve been waiting on the Sex and the City movie to come out since the last TV episode. Today I saw the movie! I drove to the city and met Shelly and Joy at the theatre. It was so good! Ok, if you have not seen it yet, be prepared, rated R is putting it mildly. I’m not really sure how it got in theaters with the scenes it had but it did. The topics and the scenes were the TV version on steroids! But, for you Sex and the City fans, it’s a must see! The writers did a great job and actors were of course fabulous!

Larry left for VA. His travel day was not so great. Loooong story but to sum it up, the spend most of his day waiting on planes, his connecting flight was cancelled after hours and hours of waiting….finally they got rental cars and drove 2 ½ hours to the final destination. He got to the hotel, checked in and was in bed around 2am or so. Good news….only 2 more TDY’s after this one! YEAH!!!!!! He is SO ready to move and to start his new job. (Me too!)

After the movie we had a late lunch and then Shelly wanted me to walk to Three Dog Bakery. I’ve heard of bakeries for dogs but never been to one. Oh, I got Miss Molly some goodies! I got her a “Pupcake” which was about the size of a mini muffin pan. It had icing and a rose on top. I also got her a “Pupline”. I gave her ½ of the pupcake and she went NUTS. She loved it, licked up every single crumb! She was a happy pup!

Monday…Today the 3 youngest started summer school for the month of June from 7:45am-Noon. They did NOT want to go. Their mother signed them up and they were not happy about it. Laura has begged me to get her out of it but I can’t. So this morning they woke up not so excited and went to school. I picked Laura up a little early to take her to an appointment. Cat got Sean and Marissa. They rushed home, ate a fast lunch and out the door they went to VBS. Marissa is the only one young enough to participate in VBS but Laura and Cat are volunteering. Sean said he did not want to volunteer, he wanted to be lazy! The girls came home and brought a friend with them. When they were coming in the driveway they saw a huge snapping turtle in the road. They came in the house and told me they wanted to go rescue it. They were watching out the window as they were telling me about it and Laura screamed, the turtle got hit.

Next subject....We have 5 bay windows in our house and 2 of them have build in benches. Last Saturday Larry and I got some wood and cut it to fit the seat. Today I cut and put foam on it and covered it with fabric. Man, that’s a tough job. Looks easy when you are watching someone on TV do it. Of course, they have helpers. It is dang near impossible to do it by yourself. The foam doesn’t slide over the fabric so you have to pick the thing up many many times to get it in the right position. Of course the fabric was not long enough…by just a few inches. So, I cut a piece of the fabric and stitched it together. I finished 1 of them and have 1 more to do. I hung curtains in Sean’s room today too. I also started refinishing an old picture frame.

Well, if I had a pause button I would have just pressed it. Marissa just spilled the new BLUE Mtn Dew on my living room rug!!!!! UGH! Did I say BLUE?!?! Surprisingly, it doesn’t look too bad. I think I can get it out…but did I tell you it was BLUE? They are not normally allowed drinks in the living room but I let her because they are watching a movie. Oh well, no use cryin’ over spilt Mtn Dew!

Sean just came in here to pick on me. He SO has his dad’s personality.

Well, my popcorn bowl is empty and so is my Diet Coke can so I guess it’s time to finish up this blog. I’m behind and my Momma reminded me in an email this evening. She said, “I can’t believe there is no news in the Parr house. I miss reading about you tizzy, busy life.” Thanks for the encouragement Mom! Ha ha! I love you Momma!
