My “Dream” With The Day’s Events That Follow…

Was it real?… Last night I woke up around 2:30 a.m. Now I don’t know if it was a dream but I thought I heard our back door open and close (I heard the blinds hit against the door). My eyes shot open and I sat there in the dark, listening to the silence… I eventually got up (I didn’t want to wake Corom up just yet) and checked on all the kids and Z (our Foriegn exchange student). Everyone was sound asleep. My back door was unlocked so I locked it. I looked in on the dogs and the garage door was half way closed… I opened it up all the way and went back up to my room… That is when Kittie, our dog, started barking like crazy… She woke Corom up from all her barking. He caught me looking out the blinds from our window. Anyway… I told him what I heard but to this moment I still don’t know if I dreamt the noise or not. Corom did go calm Kittie down and eventually we fell back asleep. A little creepy…

I had Joy School at my house today…

This was a comment my youngest stated to the other kids…
My youngest to the other kids in Joy School: My dad died.
The kids: He did?
Me to intervene: No he didn’t. Don’t be making things up!
My youngest: Not that dad, my other dad…
My 1st thought: Shoot, where was the child support?
Joy School went well today. The kids weren’t to hyper, which is always good…

A few neighbors came over and hung out for a while (all on coincidence)… It was nice, so we just let the kids play. I, then, had to leave for in-door track practice. My girls and I loaded up and headed to practice. I sent the kids on a 1 1/2 mile warmup; then a hill workout of about 2 to 3 miles (some ran 2 miles worth and the others 3); with a 2 mile cool down.

They finished off with strides and 2 x 50 leg hops. Tough workout!
In the middle of practice I ran my 2 older daughters up to piano lessons… After dinner and homework, Corom went to scouts, then basketball practice and the girls went to bed (at 7:15). Later, later I went to my friend’s house to watch the Bachelor. 🙂
