Snake Saturday + Gypsy Hippies=Fun For All

So Snake Saturday I went to the parade with Lis and Matt. We had a good time. I saw some old friends and we even went to the old hangout Bar 12. It brought back many memories and makes me feel really old. I saw a kid I had in Kindergarten at Crestview and he must be 15 or 16 now. Crazy! That night, I met Linny and Missy up at the Falloon to watch the Gypsy Hippies play. Zerl is the drummer in the band. The band sounded great and we had a great time. The bar got packed. It was crazy busy. Jeffy came up, as did Dave and Elisa. All in all a great night. I know the hours and Jake being on his feet for so long is killing him but I know that he loves the job so I am really happy for him. I feel like things are finally falling into place. I had an amazing day with Payton and Jake was able to take off for a few hours to spend with us at the park and at home. It was great. Spring Break is here and I have to get the house clean and my taxes done but other than that life is good. I am worried about my sister. She has been sick alot and is not sure what is wrong. Hopefully we will find out soon. Till next time.

Who's the idiot that left the car running in the garage?

That would be me. I don't know what happened. I had a lot on my mind what with Crystal now deciding to move back to NM and our field trip on Thurs. and the Falloon reopening so I hurried home from my parent's house Wed. night to see Jake and pulled in the garage and closed the garage door. I grabbed my purse and phone, hopped out of the car, while it was still running and the lights were still on, and went into the house. The next morning I wake up at 6:50 to a gas smell so I go check the furnace and that is not it. I go in and tell Jake to get up and ask him if he smells anything and his response was "GAS!" He said he thought he smelled something last night but then didn't smell it later so assumed he dreamed it. I tell him to call the gas co. cause I have a field trip and can't be late (such a teacher) and jump in the shower. A few minutes later he comes in to tell me that he found the gas smell--my car was running and had been all night in the garage. I still didn't think I left it running. I thought maybe the autostart had been hit but when he was finally able to hit the door to open and get out to the car through all the gas and heat, my keys were in the ignition and were really hot because I had also left my heat on. I know I get the award for all time moron. So thank God we are alive--Payton was not with us that night and Barkley is ok. I don't know what I would do if something happened to Pay and it was my fault. We are all good though by some miracle of God. Till next time.

Ready for Spring Break

So there are two weeks left till Spring Break and I have a ton of stuff to do. I have meetings and a Kindergarten program, Parent Teacher Conferences, a dentist appt. , and I have to help my sis get ready for her wedding. Also Jake is helping Robert get the Granfalloon ready to reopen so I went and helped with that too. I also just found out that Leah (my principal) wants me to be the PBS coach for our school next year so I am going to be attending a training on that with her next week. Busy, busy, busy! Over Spring Break, I have two doctor's appts. and an appt. with my tax guy. Plus we can't forget plans on Snake Sat. with the gang. Is there enough time in the day for all of this stuff? I am beginning to think not. Till next time.
