August 3, 2009

It was not a lazy day for us today. We spent the morning running around. We took some stuff out to my school so it would not be cluttering our basement anymore. It was stuff I'd bought for my classroom. I got to say hello to my new principal. I am having a positive gut reaction towards him. This is a good thing.

We were only out there for a little while and when we left we headed to the grocery store. We did the grocery shopping a day early because tomorrow we are going to be gone most of the day. I will not tell the kids where we are going, though. It's tormenting Michaela like crazy. He he he!

After lunch we went to the pool at Blanchette. It was not real warm when we got there, but about 1/2 an hour after we got there the temperature shot up almost 20 degrees. This was fine with me because I wanted to get in the water and I just won't if it's not hot enough. I managed to swim 10 laps in the lap pool. That felt really good.

We came home around 4:00. I relaxed for a little while and then made sandwiches for supper. I didn't want to feed anyone anything heavy because it was so hot and Michael and Caleb had to be outside for 2 hours this evening.

Michaela and I left for gymnastics around 6:00 pm. While she was inside I walked the sidewalk at the strip mall in which her gymnastics is located. It's very long, probably like two blocks long. I walked for 30 minutes. It was really hot outside.

As I was going back inside the building to finish waiting for Michaela, I saw someone I graduated with and talked with her for a few minutes. I haven't seen her in a couple years. It was great seeing her for a few minutes. Her daughters do cheerleading at the same gym that Michaela does gymnastics.

When we left gymnastics we went to the park to see some of Caleb's football practice. He only had about 20 minutes left of practice. Michael said he was doing really well last night. He seemed to be enjoying himself a lot. Michaela and I did not stay long because the bugs started biting and we did not have bug spray with us. But, there will be plenty of other practices for us to be at, and games, too.

The rest of the evening was showers and getting ready to go to bed.
