A Very Productive Day

We made a family trip to WalMart this morning to get Coy's birthday present. JR spent all morning and much of the afternoon assembling it. JR doesn't curse, however, putting a swingset together brought a few curse bombs out of him. My sweet neighbor noticed that he was about to have a melt down and offered some wonderful words of encouragement. She said, "Oh, the first one that you put together is always the hardest. I remember it took us a quart of bourban and a nap to get through it". I love my neighbor!

While JR worked on the swing set, I tried to burn some calories by push mowing our grass. Then, we took a break and walked downtown to watch a bike race. We had a friend riding as an ameteur, so we went to encourage him to finish the race. He actually placed, so we were very proud!

Tomorrow, I am going to make a trip to Charlotte to do a little shopping. JR is going to do whatever he wants to do and JR's parents are going to have fun being Granna and Grandpa with Boomy. Life is great!

Wish It Was Friday

I feel like I am wishing my life away, but I want it to be Friday. I am ready for a break from work! Tomorrow is customer appreciation day and we are serving hot dogs and hamburgers for lunch. I really hope that it is fun and not a pile of stress.

Also, it was brought to my attention today that I put the wrong date on Coy's birthday invitations. I put Sunday, September 4th and it should have been September 5th. Oh well! One of the joys of being a working mother is that you can blame all of your dumb moments on your overworked brain.

I really am looking forward to Coy's 1st Birthday and I cannot believe that he will be one in just a couple of weeks. It is just crazy!

Random fact: This crazy guy came to the bank last Friday and got out of his car cursing and high stepping, because he was highly intoxicated. He was really skinny with long hair and a long beard and he had on cutoff camouflage pants. My boss told him that he couldn't come into the bank, so he high stepped back to his car cursing at us and cursing at his driver. Then, he came through the drive thru today and was cursing and carrying on with the female driver of the car. She was cursing and carrying on too. Then, he slapped her across the face. Seriously, every time this guy comes around I hear banjos start playing in my head.

Next Stop: ENT

Coy went for his follow up with the doctor today and he was referred to an ear nose and throat specialist. He will probably have to have tubes put in his ears. Other than that, he is doing great.

JR and I are going on a short beach trip this weekend to celebrate our eight wedding anniversary. I am looking forward to the beach and doing a little shopping.

I am so glad that tomorrow is Friday. Work has been crazy this week with trying to catch up from being out most of last week and then new projects from this week. For whatever reason, I have had a bunch of small loan requests this week. I hate doing small title secured consumer loans! Also, I had a conversation with someone from credit risk this afternoon and I was amazed at how stupid that the person thought that I was. Thankfully, it was the first time that I had ever spoken with him, so it wasn't from past experience with me that he had decided that I was dumb.

Anyway, I'm just ready for this week to end.

Sunday Fun

We made a quick trip to the Cheraw State Park yesterday for a time filler before Coy had to go to bed. There's only so much time that you can spend inside and only so many strolls around the block you can make before everyone becomes stir crazy. So, the state park was a great change of scenery.

Then it was dinner time for Coy. I had no idea that teaching my child to eat real food would be so difficult. Not only does he have multiple gag episodes when he tries to eat anything with texture, but the process of him eating takes forever!

Today was his first day back at daycare. It was also the first day that I have ever cried over leaving him there. I think I will end today's post on that depressing note.
