What a week!

I can't believe it has been a week since I last blogged!!!!  And what a week it has been, whew!

I shall start with last Thursday.  I had a full day of errands and meetings and then a Junior GS meeting, which went very well~I think the girls are mostly prepared for WTD and it will be wonderful!  Unfortunately though, I sliced my hand as I was unloading posterboard from the car.  I know...sounds like nothing right?  Not if you are accident prone little ol' me!!!!  It happen to be a lovely crescent shaped cut that although it was technically a paper cut sliced a good section of the top several layers in quite a bit and for about two inches right at the junction of my thumb pad and my wrist.(okay...I just have to inject here that I am actually a very lame person about my own blood leaving my body...I managed to get through all of the chemo related stuff because, let's face it, I had too, but...I have been known to pass out when I cut myself and start bleeding and I had to turn away and watch some Olympics~Go USA~ to be able to finish typing that cause I was reliving it!!!  K=lame !)  Anyhoo, I had a leader meeting that went late too and by the time I got home I couldn't use my hand to type it hurt so bad!

Then Friday we drove to just outside of Nashville on a journey to the beaches in Alabama where my parents are right now.  We spent the night and then got up and drove down to the beach arriving in plenty of time for the evening Mardi Gras parade!  I have to say..it was the first I have ever been to!  And it was quite a crowd...of snowbirds!  Who were incredibly nice and gave the girls tons of beads and moonpies and other souvenirs that they loved!  I even grabbed a few beads and fortunately had to resort to nothing but standing there draped in beach towels to stay warm actually to get them!  What a parade!  We then went and had a wonderful dinner at which I ate fresh seafood ~ yum!!!!

Sunday we spent eating more seafood-yum, yum:) taking a drive to the fort and playing in the indoor heated pool with the girls.  They went shelling for a while on the beach with Papa but it was pretty brisk at 45 and very windy(20 mph) so it was mostly a day spent inside doing fun things.  Then Ed and I went to Florida for an amazing crab dinner for Valentine's Day and it was fabulous.  The Crab Trap ~YUM!!!!! Then we just came back and watched Olympics before crashing from all the swimming and wonderful food!

Monday the girls and Papa did some more shelling and then we all did some shopping!  Beach wear is essential in the Lou in Feb., don't ya know?  After that we did some more swimming-it truly was a wonderful pool..and the three different temperature hot tubs weren't bad either!  And then we headed to the famous Lulu's for some more excellent seafood and then back  for cards and Olympics.

Tuesday we got up and drove home...all day.  But hey...we got to drive through a parade route...right ahead of the parade..it was fun, we considered throwing the beads we had collected but the girls probably wouldn't have agreed to part with theirs so we just drove on. 

Thirteen+ long, LONG, hours later, we pulled into our driveway and carried/walked the girls inside and to bed and then brought everything inside and dumped it on the living room floor.  However, I hurt my back on the drive down and although it got better..the loooooong drive home knocked it right back out of snyc and I spent most of Wed. trying not to move and then taking medicine and going to bed very early.

And now we are here at today where the medicine definitinely helped overnight...as did my own bed:)  I have done some much needed errands and had lunch with a good friend and then helped at school and I did stuff around the house too...I think I am a-ok!

Soooo...that's what's been happening and sorry about missing a week....life happens...to me it seems to happen every day!!! ;) :P

I hope you all had a nice past week.

Blog ya later-
