Mid-April

Because of the way I posted last week, my post didn't go out in email. So I reposted it. So if you get 2 emails from my blog this week, that's why. Just wanted to make sure everyone sees my pictures from last week!

Last Saturday night we went to see Steve's other band play at the Loft. They did really good, we had a good time as well. Saturday evening I felt a bit of a sore throat. And by Sunday morning I KNEW. So I got Rusty to take me to the emergency room and sure enough, I had strep. I went to the ER because there was no way in heck I was going to sit in pain til Monday morning. I got a nice shot and something for the pain and swelling. By Monday I was well enough to go to work, and by Wednesday I was all better. Sunday evening Mom said Blake's throat hurt and it just looked to me like he had the same thing, so he went to the ER that night as well and got his shot lol. I wonder if we got it from each other on Easter or something lol. And I found out today a lady I work with is in ICU with strep throat! Geez! She's only in her 40's I think. But how bad does strep throat get that you go into ICU????

Seems Chris and the boys have moved in with Mom this week. I'm looking very forward to seeing a lot more of them. I'm already making plans in my head lol. We miss them all the time. I'm going to drag my brother around with the band and make him carry my keyboards lol. When he's off work, at least. Hey, he could be the body guard too, then we'd look like we're hot stuff or something lol.

I can't say that too much has gone on this week. Band practice was excellent Sunday, even though I was hurting and doped up feeling. Tanner got in trouble twice this week at school and Rusty has come down on him big time. He can't keep his mouth shut in class - imagine that. Tyler has been working hard trying to impress the coaches and I think he is succeeding. The coaches were carrying on about how hard they're going to work everybody - trying to make the weak ones quit now before Spring Training hits. Tyler told them he would not quit unless HELL FREEZES OVER lol. They got a kick out of that. Now everyday they pass by him and ask him if hell has gotten any colder yet? He says NO!!!! Can't wait til the Fall.

We're still doing the myspace thing off and on, catching up with people. Except I think I'm gonna have to make mine private lol. One of our 6th graders told me the other day he had seen my myspace. And then on some questionnaire last week it asked "what irritates you" and I said "90%of the people I work with". A girl I work with is on my friends list and she asked me MOnday who irritates me lol. So I guess I better not mention work on there anymore. And should probably make it private so the goofy little pre-teens won't be snooping through my life lol.

We've done hardly anything but work on music all week. We have shows set for May 18, May 26, June 10ish, and July20-21 I think. I'm really having fun, but it is totally consuming my time right now. Sitting down to write the blog, I've realized just how MUCH time I've spent on it this week - and nothing else. I'll be glad when we know everything we have to know and just have to run through it a time or two each week. By the end of May, the "new" band (us) should be on the web site so I'll post the web site then.

This weekend is Riverfest. We're going to go to the Saturday night part and see Rusty's old band play and meet up with some friends that we haven't seen in a long time. I'm going to take Tanner to the day time stuff on Saturday. Then Sunday - back to the grind at band practice. It's going to be a busy weekend. But perhaps I'll take some pictures.
