Catching up for this week

OK...so this week has been a ZOO! I think it is about time I check myself in somewhere. Talk about feeling the grind. It all started with last Friday. Mike is usually home by about 6:00. He called and said that they had a patient at the clinic, and he was going to be a little bit late...I told him that would not be a problem as I wasn't home. I was at BABIES-R-US. Now don't get me wrong, Babies-R-Us is fun, but when you are trying to put together a baby shower, and are in charge of buying all the gifts (from donations at work), it gets to be a little bit crazy. So anyway, I had my little helper (Cassdidy), and she was telling me what she thought about getting certain things. Although she thinks the baby should only have "toys" I reassured her that my friend Stephanie needs more than that. With much conviencing, we bought the stuff Cas though was "boring." Afterwards, I looked at my watch and realized that I had spent about two and a half hours in there! So, Cas and I grabbed a bite to eat and headed home. On Saturday, I ran errands which is always fun, when you really don't want to go, and then on Saturday night Chris, Kelly and the kids came over. We had a good time and the kids got to play. We give all of them a bath and then crashed out. On Sunday, we hung out as it rained most of the day.

That rolled us into this week...work has be constent, which is good, but also bad. I feel like every time I think I am getting ahead, I end up being a bit behind. I did however attend a very interesting class at lunch this week about Hurricane Response and the Guld of Mexico. I know, I know to some of you that don't deal with the Oil and Gas industry, that sounds boring, but I loved it. It directly affects my job as all of my foremen and crews are about 150 miles out floating on a spar in the Gulf of Mexico.

I also helped a friend of mine Danita out. Her wonderful son Jeremy is graduating from Klein Oak this year. She had some pictures professionally taken, but it ended up being a big mess. I told her as part of Jeremy's graduation present, I would take some pictures, and in return be able to use them on www.noellephoto.com (my photography website). She agreed, and I started snapping. Anyway, it is always hard to do a photo shoot in the middle of the week, with a three and a half year old at home.

This weekend, with it being Memorial Day, we are going to be in Houston! YAY! We might be blowing up the pool and putting it in the backyard. (WOW! With that last sentence, I feel like a redneck!) Mike and I are going to have a date night as of now on Saturday night. Our wonderful friend and babysitter Kathy is going to come over and watch Cas. I don't know what Mike and I will do, so you will have to check out the next post to find out... I think we might go over to Gammy and Poppa's for dinner as well maybe Sunday night. We will see.

OK, so enough rambling...I will upload pictures when I get home since today is my last day of the week.
Until next post.
