This comcast is very very fast compared to dial-up.  Just the fact that I can get online instantly is an improvement.  AND I can use the phone at the same time too!  WOOOHOOOO.  And Survivor China is on the On Demand thing so I caught up on it last night. 

This week has so far been much better than last week.  It's only Tuesday but the fact that we got through the first two days without any blood (well, Ben had a small bloody nose after school today but that's nothing to worry about) or overflowing toilets is a good sign.  I got to have lunch with my mom yesterday.  And tomorrow Noah has a field trip so I won't have him in the morning!  He's been super naughty the past week so I won't miss him.  (is that wrong?)  Tonite I am going to church for a prayer meeting for a family at church who is leaving tomorrow for their 12 year old son to have major surgery to remove a tumor in his head (in his sinuses and maybe into his brain) and then I may have coffee with Leah if I can get away for that long.  Tomorrow is coffee break in the morning and girls night in the evening.  Thursday is Handbells, Friday is Nicole's birthday (and I told her I'd take her and Sydney to a movie) and saturday we are going to my mom & Ted's.  Sunday I play handbells in the morning too!  How can you NOT enjoy a week like this?  Seriously though, I would rather NOT have to go away every night but I guess I just have no choice.  (ok..maybe I like it a little, but I do have some guilt)

Did I even get to put on here all the things that make last week so bad?  Let's see...let me try to remember 1) Overflowing toilet (I think that was Sunday) 2) Dropped a 1 gallon pitcher of lemonade on the kitchen floor (after I had cleaned it) (that was monday)  3) Noah cut the tip of his finger and practically bled to death right in the kitchen (tuesday)  4) Wednesday was just busy...too much going on but I can't think of any specifically bad things  5) Went out with Jenny to the movies (that was great), had a big storm and a dead battery at the mall (which was closed and practically deserted)  6) Had dinner with the In-laws (again not a bad thing) and I can't think of anything horrible that happened Friday  7)  Frederik Meijer Gardens - It was beautiful weather and we ended up having enough people to get the group rate.  The bad thing was that as soon as I got there I proceeded to lock my keys in the car.    So those are the specific things and add to that the fact that I was trying to organize an outing for the photography group and was Flip-flopping (worse than John Kerry) about whether or not to cancel it because I couldn't find enough people to go for the group rate.  It all came together at the last minute but it was a pain in the butt.  I'm just glad it's over.  Very glad.
