Rambling thoughts about a Bitter Sweet Week.....

This was quite the week.....I had to work last Saturday on an unsuccessful conversion and roll back which took most of the day....Sunday was busy with prep work for a work trip to Scottsdale and more tax research....Monday we finalized taxes (hallelujah) and I flew over Tuesday afternoon to Phoenix and did some Scottsdale Thrifting (2 very cute new Turkeys for the collection, a Napco Angel bell and a set of white doves - total $7.00)...had a wonderful dinner at Cowboy Caio (love that place) and settled back in the hotel for meetings to begin Wednesday...woke up at 3 a.m. sick as can be with some sort of Sinus/Sore Throat/Aching kind of thing...drug myself out of bed and got all ready by 7 and headed to the lobby to meet other work people and I could barely walk and focus...then in the lobby I just knew I was not going to make it so I just handed over the keys to them and went back to bed. Luckily room service brought me hot tea and soup for lunch and even a get well card....a co worker brought me dinner and a jamba juice which felt so good on my throat....I literally did not even have the energy to get up, pack and get to the airport to come home....Thank goodness for iPads and WiFi - my only connection to the outside world....I did make it out Thursday and flew home and started RX right away....I stayed down and worked from home and started coming around Friday night....
Since I did not feel good Friday - the boys came over Sat night for sleep over....these fill and thrill eggs provide hours of entertainment for my boys....these, Hi Ho Cherry O, playing ball inside and out, drawing, nerf guns, Stuart Little and making up stories is what we are all about with our boys these days....
but before that....Steve, Adam, Shannon and I participated in the San Diego Museum of Man 5k Race for Race.....aren't we the vision in our official Race Tech Shirts
Adam and Shannie look official, we look hopeful....Shannie did fantastic, winning in her age bracket and in the top 30 of all racers....impressive - and we are oh so proud of her.....
yes that is the Oscar Meyer Weinermobile in the background - we sang and got whistles :) Steve, Adam and I walked the course which was very hilly and muddy due to recent rains and we finished waaaayyyyy after Shannie....but they did announce our names and cheer for us when we crossed the finish line!!! (They read your numbers from a distance and then call your name at the finish). After the Race and Trophy ceremony we went to The Waterfront for breakfast and then home to play with the boys. We were suppose to head to the Encinitas Street Fair, however, Steve got an urgent business call and our water heater started leaking and needed attention! The boys slept over and we did errands this a.m. - a quick run to Target to get a new bat as Slugger Dylan wore out our other one....Steve needed Dockers and then back home to watch the Masters and do a few things around the house.....I did not get much done, however, it was so nice to feel better after that bad trip!
