interview

I wore my 'lucky' outfit (mercer cardinals long sleeved tee & jeans)to the school cook interview today....they had 20 applicants for 2 positions. Hey, it's an honor just to be considered. They'll make a decision at the July 14 board meeting.
the whole thinking I may have one foot out of the barn deal has put quite a spring in my step, I tell you!
katie is swimming at princeton with mackenzie. corey is over playing x-box with kj (kevin got a deal on an x-box & tons of games from a co-worker). kevin is 'at the farm.'
we plan on going to trenton to see Get Smart tonite.

katie hits one

& made one run at tonite's game. it had rained off & on all day & sprinkled on the way over, & was pretty overcast the entire game. Kevin & KJ arrived from West Des Moines top of the 3rd.
had a message on the machine from kate's dance teacher, there is a variety show in cainsville friday nite the kids could dance in, our tournament starts friday nite, & we are undefeated so far, if we win the make up game thursday, wouldn't play our first tournament game until saturday am. then she could dance. so, stephanie will pencil the kids in, if we don't play friday, will meet stephanie at cainsville & warm up, then the kids will tap. they have a practice weds, will dance at princeton's 4th of july celebration.
moriah is over. {i could shower & hit my nice, freshly laundered sheets early...}
would that be considered rude with a guest over?

rain

I had taken the day off to go to Des Moines with Kevin to his ankle surgeon & migrane dr follow up visits...we were going out to lunch, the whole 9 yards. then they rescheduled a make up game for 4:30 @ Unionville. His last appt is at 2:10, no way to get back. So, KJ went with Kevin, I stayed home with Katie, we slept in, & I was supposed to take her to the game...when I woke up, it was sprinkling & thundering...we'll see...
the tournament is this weekend, I can't get out of working. Kevin will try to get off Saturday. KJ may have to take her to Milan. Assuming of course they don't get rained out...
(remember the drought?)

katie hits one!

she actually made a run, hit a foul, & scooped up several in outfield & tossed to the pitcher!
YEAH< KATIE!!!!

the old swimming hole

Katie took Justin swimming @ Princeton pool...a perfect day for a swim. Now we're home eating Digornio Pizza....

friday nite @ the park

Katie was going to VBS, she wanted to get there early, but they were still setting up for the picnic, so we went to the park for awhile, Justin was there, & later Danielle, Emily, & Jessica, they played, I took tons of pictures & a couple of digital camera movies, I bought them ice cream from Randys, Justin's dad bought them a pizza from the Steel Wheel Saloon, they had a heated basketball game, then it was lightning & everyone went home. we were there 3 HOURS! (never made it to VBS.) if the benches were more comfortable, I could just about live there...with all the rain, it's tricky to find a grassy comfy spot to sit...I walked around with a wet butt at Bordertown Day last weekend as punishment for finding a comfy spot to watch the kiddie parade!
she was painting on a birdhouse @ VBS Thur. nite, I was kind of excited about putting it on the front porch, so will have to find her another birdhouse to paint, unless some nice person brings it here...stranger things have happened!

a thunderstorm blew in...

so another softball game was cancelled & katie is going to VBS.
all 3 vehicles are home from the garage!
I am downright giddy, I have an interview for a Mercer school cook job on Weds. I probably won't get it, & it will probably pay a lot less than I now make, but I am just all kinds of optomistic & cheerful!
