Busy week

I'm taking the moment to add another blog and fill everyone in on our busy week. I think it was Monday when I last posted. Tuesday evening I worked and maybe it was a short one then. Brian had a fire meeting on Wednesday night and I went to church choir practice. We are working on a new song for Thanksgiving service. It's interesting. I struggle a little because I have a hard time hearing due to the fact that most of the women in the group are over 65 and their voices are a little on the warbly side. Besides that, I don't read music. On this night, there were only a few people that showed. Mostly men, one alto and another soprano besides me. I really would prefer to sing alto as I can't sing the really high notes, but they are short on the sopranos. Well, the one soprano that shows up besides me happens to be my neighbor lady and she is a really nice lady, but her voice has passed it's prime. She even used to be the choir instructor in her earlier years. But, nowadays her voice is really warbly and it is really hard for me to know the right notes when she sits beside me and you all know how bad my hearing is, so I try really hard to hear the notes from the piano. Luckily we sit right in front of it.

On this particular night the flies also have taken to going into hibernation mode and must have decided I was a nice place to do that. They kept clinging to me and I felt like I was crawling with them. Blech!

On Thursday we went to Heather's volleyball game. That was a disappointment. The other team was much better than ours, all teams lost. Last night, we went to the football game and that was also a disappointment. I think they lost 41-8. Reminds me of when I was in school and our teams were really bad. This is sad considering only a few short years ago our guys were consistently in the playoffs. This has been a bad year. The guys haven't won a single game.

This morning, I am sitting her typing and listening to KJ and her friends randomly playing their ringtones. She had 4 girls spend the night after the game. She has really been struggling lately with finding out who her real friends are. I like this bunch much better than the ones she has spent time with in the past. I hope she sticks with these. I'm sure everyone woman can remember their early teen years struggling through puberty and figuring out who they are. Heather ended up staying the night with one of her friends. I'm not really crazy about her choice of friends either, but then her class doesn't have the best choices. KJ and her still get along like sisters and I hope it stays that way. Hallie decided to spend the night with her grandparents so she can play with her cousin today. Ty of course, decided he was going to stay elsewhere since we had a house full of girls.

Today, Brian and I are planning on riding with another couple who I hope will still be able to ride. They called last night to say that their bike was still in the shop being fixed. They are hoping to borrow one today. We really wanted to go leaf looking. The leaves are changing like crazy and Brian had a good route to take. We will be leaving later this morning, hopefully. And, yes, I am taking my camera. It's gonna be chilly too.

Well, the girls think I need to make them pancakes. I was planning on feeding them anyway. It was TJ's pizza of course last night. Didn't take long to finish off 2 larges. Especially when big brother and his friends decided to help themselves.

Will post pictures later.
