Day 8-9/187

So I did not write yesterday, I guess the spirit didn't move me. :) Actually, I was working on a few craft projects that need to be done this week.  Yesterday was a normal day.  In the morning, I took Hans, Daisy, Kitty, and Willow to the vet for shots. Learned an important lesson: it is worth the extra gas to make more than one trip. :)  In the evening we had Back to School Night, so I took all three girls to that shindig.  A was supposed to have soccer practice at the same time, but the coach cancelled it due to the heat.  

Yesterday, Brian called earlier then expected and the girls got to talk to him.  He found out he was put on the training table, which basically means a diet.  He can only eat certain foods and has to keep track of everything he eats and turn it in.  He wasn't surprised, nor was he the only one. Out of the 150 cadets, 100 cadets are now writing down what they ate today.  He also had his first test on Monday, which he passed. 

Today, was the last day of the girl's summer vacation and Brian's birthday.  Brian's mom spent the day with us.  We took the girls to get their hair trimmed, then had lunch at McDonald's.  The girls played on the playground which was practically empty.  Then we went back to my in-law's house and took the girls swimming!  Then it was home again to get ready for tomorrow!  The girls are bathed, lunches are made, and clothes laid out. I even remembered to put the trash out! Not to toot my own horn, but TOOT TOOT! :)  I can toot my horn now, because I am pretty sure my toot will die out as time goes on!  :) Got to toot when you can!

I got to talk to Brian again today! TWICE!  The first time was normal call.  As far as he knows, no one knew it was his birthday!  So that is a good thing!  Also, he gets tomorrow night off!  So the girls and I are going up to have dinner with him!  He came back to his room today to find his bunk had been flipped. His blankets and mattress were on the floor.  Guess he didn't do a good enough job making his bed.  I laughed at him!  Maybe it was his birthday present.  :)  He had his second test today, which he is pretty sure he did well on.  He is still sounding great, still excited.  Today another cadet dropped out, but Brian is still going strong.  The second call tonight was just to ask me to bring him something tomorrow.  Still, it was a treat to get a second call!

Well, tomorrow is a big day!  :)
