The past week has been full! Saturday, we had the baby shower! It went pretty well, no major hiccups. Sunday we just stayed home and got ready for the week...week 14! Only 13 more Sunday night good-byes. :)
Today was all about getting caught up. I did some of the stuff I put off last week. The day was going smoothly, until after I picked up the girls. A had her end-of-the-season soccer party at five, so I thought I would run to the store before going to the pizza place. It was supposed to be a quick in and out stop. We ran in, got our two items and and went straight to the check out. The second the transaction was completed the computer crashed. Of course they wanted to make sure transaction went through. So they asked me wait (with all three girls) while someone in the office verified. They said it would only take a few minutes. THIRTY minutes later... no joke...they said I was good to go. Yep, they forgot about me...did I mention that I had all three of my very impatient children with me. Super fun!
After the soccer party, we came home and I noticed our gate was open and Daisy was gone. Little Houdini has gotten out before, but it has been months since her last adventure. So I loaded up the girls in the car and started driving around looking for her. Found her running down the center of a busy street. She was filthy, her white spots were brown and black. During her post adventure bath, I noticed she had cuts and scraps all over her body. :( Now she sleeping next to me, snoring.
Today, the new cadets arrived at the academy! Brian said they looked overwhelmed and terrified. :) He said he can remember the feelings like it was yesterday, but at the same time, it feels so long ago. He got to teach a few newbies how to make their beds, put their uniforms together, and got to answer some of their questions.
Brian passed his Physical Performance Test today! Brian was pretty confident about this the test, so it was not a surprise. Still, one more thing that is now done! Today at the range, Brian got to shoot all three weapons. Very exciting! Tomorrow he starts high speed. He is not expecting to pass the first time, since most of the cadets don't. Then tomorrow night he is going to be tested on pulling a car over. (Not sure of the actual name of that test, sorry.) So tomorrow is a busy day for him.
Tomorrow, for me, is another catch up day. Hopefully the day goes by smoothly for all of us. :)
Blessings,
