Hoppy Easter!


I decided today to start a blog. As a busy mother of three, I just "felt the need". We had a good Easter. We started the day attending Easter service at our church, First United Methodist here in Wichita. It was a beautiful, uplifting service! We didn't stay for Sunday school as we had family over to our house this afternoon for dinner, and we still had things to do. Family started arriving around 1:30pm, and by 2:30pm we had a full house! My brother, Mike and sister-in-law, Diana, brought my mother, Billie. She is living at Presbyterian Manor now, struggling with her memory, but I think she had a good afternoon. We don't have a medical diagnosis of alzheimer's, but we truly believe that is what we are dealing with. My sister, Marilyn, and her common-law husband, Mark came and brought Mark's daughter, Marcia; and granddaughter, Aspen. My long-time best friend and "SIS" Melody came and brought some goodies. She brought wine, and was glad to finally have a glass as she'd given up alcohol for Lent. She also brought some delicious salad and an angel food cake with strawberries and cool whip on top! She is such a sweetie! Corby did his usual super job of fixing a great dinner! We had ham, hash brown casserole, green beans and corn. Mike & Diana brought a salad, and along with Melody's other goodies she brought some sweet Hawaiian bread! YUM! All 3 kids had to work. Brandon worked 11-8, Kaleb worked 5-10 and Kaitlin worked 7-10. Weird hours for Wendy's! She's not too thrilled with her job after 2 weeks, but they haven't trained her on anything other than fries. She said she finally got to make a few frosty's tonight and bag some orders for the drive-thru. Whoopie! By the way, that's our 2 1/2 year old husky/chow Cinnamon, with our 9 month old kitten, Muffin. Can you tell they're both spoiled?

What's Good

Here's what's good right now: 1. Corby's OKAY after an accident at work today! He was on the forklift pulling onto a truck when the truck driver pulled away from the dock apparently to reallign himself (WHAT AN IDIOT DRIVER!!!) and he fell off the dock. Thank goodness there is a roll-bar on those forklifts. He has a headache and will probably be stiff tomorrow, but says he is okay. They sent him for a drug test. It's their policy if someone has an accident at work. 2. Feeling much better. I'm about 75% well now. Still have a cough and some sinus issues, but I think I'll survive. 3. Spending today with Kaleb & Kaitlin. 4. Having such good kids. Leeker's just called Kaitlin to see if she'd work longer hours today. They have a lot of employees out sick. She was supposed to work 4-8, but volunteered to work 2-9. Here's a pat on the back hon! 5. Enjoying some Josh Groban music. 6. Cleaning out my file cabinet and getting ready for 2008. I know, I...
