Watson

Koren called last nite, she & Cody went to a shelter & adopted a 7 month old male orange cat they named Watson. Koren is very excited. I'm sure Lola is just beside herself, too...

saturday

picked up katie from kaykay's house in ravanna on my way home from work, they had a blast. katie is working on her calamity jane report for school. she was on the computer talking to moriah. I have been nagging moriah by email & phone to let me know if she participated in the GS fundraiser, she is the only one left to finish my troop order that I'm turning in monday. she has promised to give it to kate @ church in the a.m.....assuming she gets her brother to take her/pick her up.
swept floors, shook out rugs, picked up mounds of shoes, went thru old newspapers clipping stuff about my kids for scrapbooks, cleaned the corner behind the camo chair, did some laundry, took sasha out to pee about a zillion times, & sewed more on kate's quilt. remembered I had a few 'extra' GS patches, so going to make a few more blocks to put them on, have some of the blocks stay stitched around the edges. kevin changed the sheets today, our blue moon & stars fitted sheet ripped in the middle, so it went in the rag pile. going to use the top sheet as a backing for kate's quilt, & the fitted sheet will be if I need trim, etc. it looks so cool in my mind...we'll see. we'll see.
kj played football at the park again today. kate wanted to watch Matilda. couldn't find it, but did find some scooby doo & barbie vhs's to donate to the couch potato table at the band carnival. we watched Disaster Movie, too.
we'll probably watch a movie here in a bit when she puts the report away for the nite...

friday

katie, sasha, & I attended a blustery 4-H meeting at the city park, while kj & corey were playing a football game. then katie made plans to spend the nite with her friend kay kay after the spring fling fashion show @ school, which was really fun. teachers were models in the fashion show, plus a salad & soup supper, with the proceeds going to the CTA scholarship fund. (community teacher association, I think...)
corey & josh are watching wrestling with kj.
kj might have a date for prom with a former classmate who moved away & texted one of the girls in their class wanting to go to the junior prom.

thursday

kate skipped her last diaper derby (which she is NOT a fan of, btw)for special dance class. mackenzie's mom & dad had to work late, so we picked her up at her babysitters & took her, afterwards they played at the church playground for a while till I made them leave, then we went to casey's for drinks & snacks, then they played runescape until mackenzie's mom came to get her.
we had been finding ms. cuddles toys in shreds all about the house, I hadn't really thought about it, kate caught sasha chewing them, so moved the breadbox to another counter & put the box of cat toys on the counter by ms. cuddles food & water. might get her one of those hidey kitty cubes to put up there too so she has a haven from her new sister. putting cat food on the counter & encouraging the cat to get up there, who would've figured. (the dog was eating all her food.) also had to move the plushy collection from my headboard, sasha was reaching up there & chewing on them. I needed to clean house anyway...

spring!

the birds are chirping, ms. cuddles is sunning in the window, the tiger lilies & iris are coming up, the lilacs have buds, the grass is getting green, the sun is warm, the sky is beautiful...

tuesday

kate, kevin, & I went to chillicothe, bought new jazz shoes @ payless, rocks at lowe's to make pet rocks @ the band carnival, & to walmart for asst. other stuff. had supper @ applebee's, got home @ 9:30, kate hit the shower while I got online, she printed off more research for her calamity jane report, I found substitutes for the unavailable prizes I ordered for band carnival & put in kate's bag to go back to school to terry (it was in her bag yesterday, but koren & cody were here, then we went to dance, then it was bedtime...forgot to check her bag....oops.)& kate was in bed at 10p.m. like clockwork, & asleep by 10:01. I loaded the dish washer & kind of put away some of the laundry. it'll all be there tomorrow waiting for me. hopefully tomorrow we will have time to take sasha for a long walk, I'll get the 4 girls called who haven't turned in their packets, fill out the order, & get hold of the chairperson & turn it in. that would be good!

sunday

katie, mackenzie, & I to church & the green dinner. we took mackenzie home, I took a nap (surprise). kj came home from dakota's, koren & cody came over, we went to eat at Crossroads. koren looks beautiful! she says they'll have their wedding reception here in mercer now. will have to set a date, get the community building rented, etc. they're staying @ ed & norma's & will be back tomorrow to see kevin.
