Then I cleaned all afternoon. A coworker called to check on me. W&MC arrived with the girls, then A&C and finally M. Thought Will was going to burn the house down while charbroiling the smash burgers. M had made the flakey crust for Ceil's apple pie. Tired, plus I've had a headache all day.
Saturday: after C and the girls went to bed a little after 9 on Firday night, I went back downstairs and turned off the lights and went to sleep on the sofa. A decent night's sleep. The girls slept until almost 8. W&MC's flight to Grenada departed at 945. I walked Winnie and Okie several times.
Made it to Pope High early, and scored second row seats for Frozen the Musical. Decent crowd. The girls loved it. Afterward we waited in line so the girls could get their pictures taken with the performers.
Sunday: having these girls to care for sure is a full time job. Got them to Sunday School on time, barely. Big crowds at JFBC. Had to park far away after dropping C and the girls off. Forty in Sunday School. C didn't want to keep the girls in the extended session, so we didn't make it to the service. Leftovers for lunch.
I drove up to the Hot Stove meeting in Cumming. Tried to get David Hurt to join me, but he had grandkid duty. Stopped by two thrift stores on the way home. Passed on a $13 pair of yellow Pumas and a $7 pair of slip on Nikes. Bought Matthew a $2 Thrashers cap and a cheap pair of Oofos recovery slip ons for me. C baked a lasagna for supper.
Monday: lunch with the guys at Cava. Filled up with gas. Got home and C and the girls were taking naps, so I rested as well. The girls slept until 530. They needed it. I got a little work done in my office. So many leftovers to eat at the house. After feeding the girls we packed up the cars and drove down to spend the night at W&MC's. C drove the girls. I drove the dogs. Okie rode shotgun.
Didn't know how much of the Indiana vs Miami game that I'd be able to watch, but we had the game on the entire way. A good game. Miami didn't give up, but the Hoosiers were too much. Carson Beck always seems to do the wrong thing. Even if the late interception wasn't his fault, he didn't need to walk off the field without congratulating Mendoza. Beck has played lots of football, and should know better.
Monday night: sleeping at W&MCs. All night long I was hearing train after train, and several loud cars passing by. Winnie was happy to sleep in the bed with us. Okie was just happy to be home. I'd been sleeping on the couch, to keep the dogs from barking. Been trying to get to bed on the early side. My watch says I'm getting a good night's sleep, but I'm not so sure. The girls woke up at 720 on Monday morning, so I did as well.
Tuesday: got the girls off to school without too much fanfare. We both drove back to East Cobb. Man I caught every redlight and construction zone. Stopped by two thrift stores and left my wallet and phone in the restroom. Didn't realize it until I got home. Had to retrace my steps. While I was out I had to run errands for Ceil.
I was able to knock one thing off my list on Tuesday. Drove back to W&MCs during rush hour. Got the girls to bed somewhat early. Watched episode 3 of Best Medicine.
Wednesday: got the girls off to school. There's a constant water leak in the street in front of W&MC's house, so this morning there was a patch of ice all across the width of the street. I warmed up the cars.
1. Two decent drives. Hit a good fairway shot. Several poor pitches, none onto the green.2. My first 7 iron off the tee was pretty straight. Decent length. My chips weren't great. Okay lag putts.3. Hit a low worm burner off the tee. It rolled and rolled, all the way down the hill. Kept rolling way down to the right fringe. Not pretty but it was the best result on this hole in months. Hit a mulligan and it felt good, but I'm not sure where it went. Hit a lag putt to one inch. Tapped in for a par.4. Hit my tee shot well, but it didn't have much distance. Chipped four balls, but only two were good. Sank a 10 footer for "par".5. Hit a good tee shot to the front fringe. Mulligan sailed right. Two of my chips were good. Struck three 10 foot putts, the third one dropped.6. Didn't see where either drive went, but found my first ball. Hit four 5-iron shots, only one was good. But all three of my chips found the green.
7. Neither drive was great, but I found both balls. Hit two 4-irons, the first better than the second. Neither approach shot was good, but then I was able to chip onto the green. My second lag putt was good.
8. Hit a great drive, that rolled down the hill. Perhaps my best drive ever on this hole. Made two good chips out of four. Couldn't get a putt to fall.9. Hit a good mulligan. All four chips failed to reach the green. Putted it around one last time.
Finished at 2:15 and battled traffic back home. Ate an early supper, then me and Winnie battled traffic again down to W&MC's. Picked up Chipotle for Ceil's supper.
Spent the last night at W&MC's on Wednesday night. Got the girls off to school, then drove back home to East Cobb. Winnie tracked mud all over white seats in my car.
Wednesday night I had a dream that I was at a crowded focus group with coworker Jessica. Next to us was a taste test focus group sampling cake. Jessica loves sweets, so she was doing everything possible to get some of the cake.
Thursday: spent an hour at the gym. Need to make this a daily thing. Then to Kroger - a big crowd getting ready for the ice. They were out of what C wanted, but I found it across the street at Dollar Tree. Loaded my shopping cart. Headed back down to get the girls.
Andruw Jones was finally voted in to the baseball hall of fame this week. I guess you heard.
