Hiya Pen!

You've been missed! (Did you notice someone here has asked about you?) Triple J also put out a MIA call for you on his thread as well...

Things have been busy in my corner of the ocean today. D7 has been an absolute spitfire, starting off this morning. We lost her at work for a few minutes... in that short space of time, she had grabbed the hose out front of my office, headed to the curb and was spraying passing cars along with herself. She was soaked! Then I found her next door at a condo complex laying down next to a big, strange dog (who was very friendly)... Needless to say, she smells like a dog today.

Mr. Wonderful is very cheerful these days. He phoned me from the golf course today to inquire about my night with the ever active D7 and to see how our day was going (he golfed poorly ) Then around dinner time, he called to offer to drive the truck load of branches up to my work dumpster, and asked if he could take all of us out to lunch tomorrow.

He said he wants to go over the parenting schedule and make sure we have synchronized our calendars, and then asked me if he could have the girls next weekend to take them camping. The peanut gallery was very enthusiastic about the opportunity.

It's my weekend to have them, but I've got them with me the following 2 weekends, so this is fine. Maybe I can actually get my bedroom painted? I've been meaning to get to it for the past few weeks, but found myself wanting to do other things. Like hang out with friends or hit the pool. Which still might beat out chores!

They are also excited about school on Monday. Naturally, I am very ready for their schedules to become a lot more routine as well. Hooray for routines!

More scheduled work out time. I might find me a hunky personal trainer who makes house calls instead!

Have a great weekend!

Betsey
