What an Amazing Week!

Seriously! This has shaped up to be such a good week for me. I had a great day with all 3 of the kids at the Cushing Aquatic Center yesterday ( I know, I must be crazy to take all 3 of them to the pool) and they were actually really well behaved until Ike got sunscreen in his eyes and started sreaming like a banshee. That was our que to leave after TWO hours of fun. It was $10 well spent. Tonight holds more fun for Nana, Abe and myself as we will be going to the IDOLS LIVE concert in Oklahoma City tonight. This too is a first for me. I've always been a fan of the show, but have NEVER gone to the concert. I am most excited to see...Paul McDonald AND James Durbin!! I am sure the others are going to be great too, however, those boys ARE my favorites. It will also be Abe's FIRST real concert. He loves watching "The Singing Show" as he calls American Idol and I think he will really enjoy it (Or potentially HATE it). The next amazing thing to happen this week is that I actually received a response to a job I applied for, MONTHS AGO! I actually forgot about the job and applying for it as it's been at least 4 months. Ok, more about the job. It's actually sort of a "Dream Job" of mine....Are you ready for this. It's a job with Hallmark as a card stocker! How fun would that be? I love cards and they almost always seem to make people happy. I know that I LOVE to get an actual card in the mail. The best part about the job is that its 5 hours a week and I am hoping that I get all the free cards I want. If I get free cards, it will mean that Iwill have to become more considerate and ACTUALLY remember to send them out for holidays and special occassions. I have my phone interview on Sunday evening and am hoping that they offer this job to me. Wish me luck. The last fantastic thing about this week is that I am going HOME! Home is referred to as where I grew up, Minnesota. I've not been "home" in 2 1/2 years! It gets a little tricky to get home once you have kids and a husband. I have a great set of in laws and a great set of parents along with the most awesome husband who are enabling this trip to happen for me. I have a lot of people to visit that I've not seen in a long time and some business to take care of as well. I also have the Kanabec CountyFair to attend and a wedding of a very dear childhood friend. I leave THIS Friday and will return the following Sunday. I know it's a long time to be away from the kids but I've not seen a lot of my family for at least 2 years! I hope ya'all have a great week and I will try to post when I am gone, but if Iam NOT able to access any computers, I will fill you in when I get back.
