What a day!!!

I was thinking the day was "hectic" but good but I suddenly realized that it may have been a bad day afterall.....maybe not. It did end well - Mike called and laughed and laughed that I accidently sent an email meant for him to SHS. AND I made a comment in the email that I meant one way but has another meaning so all in all it is humiliating...but his laughter made the day a good one.....

Until I got off the phone.....started reading more on this e-coli spinach outbreak. We don't have TV. We have a news black out. Late last night I began to read about it on SHS. Then this a.m. I saw the headline in our paper. I started reading more tonight and realized that the very spinach we bought and have been eating since Tuesday is the spinach that has been recalled and to which the outbreak has been traced. So...that gives us a bit of insight into the strange flu bug that Jamin and I are experiencing. Here's a link to the story that lists the companies. Thanks to Chris for impressing on me this a.m. the need to quit eating the spinach though I was very skeptical and still thinking it was some sort of internet hoax. I'm certainly glad we didn't eat MORE of it....

The hectic/bad parts of the day:

Mike needs me to find a file. It's a VERY important file. I've looked all through his office three times and can't find it.

The girls ended up needing a new set of tires. We got their oil changed.

I picked up two more meds at the pharmacy....and the paperwork for the civilian appts for a mammogram and pap...they called again.

Josiah's cell phone died and I had to buy a new year of service.

We bought all the things we hadn't bought earlier that the girls needed. I only wanted to visit and play with them and I spent most the day in the stores.

But the day WAS good:
We got a lot done.

I had some great time to visit with Bre.

We found everything we needed except for a bike carrier for their car and a swim suit top for Bre.

I got to talk to Mike.

I discovered that I need to throw out our spinach before we all got ill.

Jamin made dinner and it was great - pizza.

We went for a family walk and saw LOTS of deer.

*Cassanova* and *The Lemon Drop Kid* came in from Netflix.

Yes - it WAS a good day....because I'm going to CHOOSE JOY!

Choosing JOY!!!!

Bikin

I was determined to either walk or bike this a.m. I did NOT beat Stacia up.

I ended up heading out with Nolan, Arielle and Stacia in the bike trailer. We rode 3.5 miles. The bikin kids did great. I like to walk or ride with them before school...but since we still aren't doing school....they've been sleeping late.

Stacia did "fairly well". We turned down our driveway to find Zander in his whitey tighties, on his trike, coming to find us. He'd escaped while Jared was . In his defense Jared popped around the van at the same moment that I reached Zander. I dream of my 10 mile rides....but I'm going to have to quit staying up until 2 a.m. if I really want to see them back.
