Little Upsets

Friday was a big day.  We had art class as usual and then there was girl's club.  The question became what to do between the two.  So we picked up McD'S and went to the Zoo.  It was a beautiful day.  The zoo wasn't crowded and the time constraint meant that we stayed just the right amount of time. 

Picked Abby up from school, along with a friend to carpool to girl's club.  The only problem was that two 6th grade boys were goofing around and sort of tackled each other into the side of my car.  It left a rather sizable dent.  Both the boy's mothers saw the whole thing.  They said  they would take care of it.  I wasn't too upset.  I actually laughed.  The thing is that I feel bad.  I know that kids do dumb things and I don't want their parents to have to pay too much for their children's stupidity. My Hubby has no such feelings and is more than happy to let them pay.  I will wait and see what the estimate says. 

I took the other two children to the mall for a quick power shop during girl's club.  We managed to pick up Cinnabuns for Sat. breakfast and a birthday gift for my niece.  Then it was home for a fish fry and movie night.  I was so ready to relax. 

The rest of the weekend was spent on chores, and errands.   We went to the farmers market and apple picking on the farm.  Now I need to do something with all those apples.  The kids loved it though.  It is always nice to get out and do something with them that helps them relate to the beautiful earth God gave us. 

Sunday seemed like work.  We had mass and the b-day party.  We then had a banquet for a pregnancy help center.  Of course I took flyers with me and tried to get some more people excited about the race.  I checked the site and activity is up.  Registration is the same.  I am beginning to wonder what it takes to motivate people? 

Today I have the insurance meeting and then I will be able to get all the official paper work in order.  That will be good.   Things will start to feel more official.    I will have to pray harder for runners.
