Friday, Friday, Friday

Did I mention it's Friday?! I have 2 days at home and I don't think I am going to leave the house. (who am I kidding, I'm sure one of my little darlings will think of someplace they just have to be or they might die). I'm going to give it a shot though. Blake and I will be the only ones home tomorrow and that has made him very excited. Rusty will be working, Ashleigh is spending the night at a friend's house (maybe I should of warned them of the constant phone use) and Wayne is gone until Wednesday. It will be very quiet here tomorrow.
We had a parade down Main St. tonight in our little town and if you've never been to a small town parade it's a sight to behold. You have a couple convertibles with the local fire department princesses and queens. Then you have a fire truck, ambulance, a delivery truck (usually propane) for a local company, maybe another convertible, a car load of people that just decided to be in the parade for the fun of it and then another fire truck, and another fire truck and another fire truck. And it goes on and on like that for normally about an hour or so. Of course every volunteer department around has been invited to send a truck for the parade. God bless the volunteer fire fighters because alot of small towns wouldn't have fire departments if it wasn't for them. But after you have seen the first 50 fire trucks you are kind of looking for the end of the parade going "Is it ever going to end?" "Oh, is that a rain cloud I see?"
Blake is going to have to see the optometrist (I think that's how you spell it but it still looks wrong), he had his yearly physical today and they think he's far sighted. Hopefully, he won't need glasses. When he ws taking his test in the office and he couldn't see line 7 he asked the nurse "Does ANYONE see line 7?" Ashleigh had her physical today also and after complaining about having to get out of bed before 11, 12 or maybe even 1 she got the disappointing news that she has probably stopped growing and won't get over 5'2". She wanted to be taller but it doesn't look like that is going to happen.
After everything that has been going on with that family in Idaho and the little girl being found, let's all hug our kids a little tighter tonight after we say our prayers. During the day stop and just sit down and spend time with your children and thank God everyday that they are safe at home with us.
