busy weekend

Left work Friday after lunch. Matthew was still sick and needed to stay home. He hadn’t eaten much in several days, so I picked up some yogurt sticks and fruit popsicles at Kroger. Ceil got home from her doctor’s appointment just as I was leaving to take Will to his game. They outscored the opposition in all four quarters, about 14 – 9 in each one. Left the Sandy Springs gym at 6:05, making great time to get to Woodstock in 40 minutes for his school’s open house. My old friend David was there, so we got to hang out all evening…a rare treat.

Cleaned up most of Saturday, while Ceil shopped. Interesting features on Tebow and Richt on the 5 pm ESPN All-American Team Show, on ABC. Took Will and Connor to a team party, and Matthew to Moes. Ceil attended Anna’s ballet performance. Got home in time to see the Heisman presentation, then M watched Narnia.

Sunday AM I took Anna back to Eastside, while C, W, and M went to NP. Eastside’s choir rehearses in the sanctuary, right up to the start of the service, oblivious to the worshipers coming in. Doesn’t make for a very peaceful atmosphere. Anna and the other dancers performed during the Hallelujah Chorus. Of course, this meant all the worshipers stood during the anthem. Luckily Jim and I were sitting near the front on the side, so we could see our daughters. Ceil wasn’t so lucky on Saturday night, after waiting over two hours for the finale. After the long 9:15 am service finally ended, we waited around for the 11 am service to start, seeing a few people we knew. After the 11 am anthem we snuck out.

Ceil had a Sunday lunch at Ted’s. Will and I watched a decent amount of the Falcon game. At five we had our small group Christmas Party. There I must’ve pulled a muscle in my back…early this AM I woke up in pain. Going to the eyedoctor this afternoon.
