Almost Halfway thru August

It wont be a long update this week. The girls had a singing and dance camp this week and that was nice to get them out of the house. It was each day for two hours and on Friday they did a little performance for parents and siblings. It turned out cute.

Monday afternoon I got a call from a lady who I play pickleball with and she said she joined a league but was unable to make it and asked if I could sub for her. It was from 8:30-10:00. I went and boy, it was great. There were three courts going on at the same time and we switched courts and partners and I really enjoyed it. I hope I will be able to do it again.

So, after my doctors appointment a few weeks ago, I passed my counseling place that I went to after coming home from Center for Change. I had a thought that it would be really nice to speak to her again. So I called and they said she was pretty booked up but I could get on her cancellation list. Well a few days later, they called and said she had a cancellation and would I want it. I said yes. So Tuesday morning I was able to meet with my counselor and it went good. It was an intake session, so we just went through questionnaires and what not. I hope that she will be able to help me work through some thoughts and feelings that I am having and help me in my little funk.

Wednesday afternoon Sam had an appointment with an ENT in Idaho Falls. We determined that it would be necessary to get his deviated septum fixed. We do not know when that will take place but at least the ball is rolling. I was able to play pickleball on Wednesday and it was great.

Thursday I had my dentist appointment; it went as well as it could. He was able to get my amalgam filling changed to resin. He said that there had been more decay under the filling than he first thought but it seemed like everything was good. I was grateful for that.

Teddy got invited to go to the lake with a friend. They have a super awesome boat. Teddy got to wake surf and a few other things. I am glad that he got to go.

So me and the glucose monitor just do not mesh. After that first night, I got the second one put on and it worked great for two days and then I was putting on my bra and it took it off, so dumb. I had to wait 4 more days for the new one to get here and then it worked for three days and last night, I was being so careful, but it separated from my arm again and I couldn’t get readings. So, I do not think I am going to get any more.

Saturday morning Macy left with a friend, and she is going to have her first sleepover. I wish that it had been Friday to Saturday so she could have made it to church but its okay. Saturday for lunch we headed to the high school for a family BBQ, there were a ton of people there, but it was cool. The rest of the day, I cleaned and read and worked on my lesson.

Sunday morning came bright and early; church today was good. It was interesting only having two kids with us, it actually went more smoothly. Sally still has a hard time with going to class, she embarrasses me so bad and I really need to figure her out, but for now, we will keep trying. I had to teach today; it went okay. Our class for the last couple of months has been working towards a ice cream party. We have had a hard time with reverence, and they have been working hard to be better. They earned their party and it will be on the 26^th. I hope they can keep it up. This is the 4^th year teaching the same kids and I think they are getting a little tired of me and I think after this year, I will be ready for a change too. The only problem is, I do not want a different calling. I want to do nothing…so we shall see what happens.

So there you have it; that was our week!!! We have two weeks until school starts and I am so not ready. Tomorrow I have a meeting at the school with a few other para’s, we shall see what they say.
