I blog a lot about my job. My job is fulfilling to me, both personally and spiritually. It's an important part of who I am, although it's not all of who I am. There are actually other things that I am quite passionate about and 4 of them are headed right this way I as type.
I have two beautiful daughters. They are smart and kind and more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. They are strong and resourceful and I am so proud that I know them. They each have married, and from their marriages have come the most beautiful grandchildren anyone could ever want. Melissa and her three boys are on their way to spend Spring Break with me and I think I've come up with a good combination of fun stuff to do, NEW stuff to do and plenty to keep them busy and happy. Melissa won't be staying too long as she recently got a job and needs to return back to El Paso for that, but I'll be keeping the boys here with me through the week. That will be fun-- I hope. If they don't miss their mom too much and get homesick. But I'm up for the challenge.
I've got some plans. They're all tentative as I hate to commit myself too early and then find out that some one is crabby or some one else expects us to go here but for today, I have a few important errands to finish. #1 on the list is to mail off the acceptance of the teacher exchange to Scotland(!) and #2 is to finally get that huge family portrait we had done last summer framed at Micheal's. (They're having a 55%off sale.) After that-- anything else that gets done is gravy... and I'll have the good fortune to have my boys with me...
We'll have to go to Gatti Land... I don't like it-- the pizza is not good and the noise is overwhelming but the boys love to go. Of course, we're also going to go to Austin Park and Pizza so maybe that will supercede Gatti Land. heeeheeeheee (that's my evil chuckle). Then we're going out to my sister's house who lives in Bastrop. They live in a wooded subdivision and the boys love to run through the woods and hunt creatures. My niece and nephew love it when the boys come to visit. They play together really well. I am always worried that with the family so spread out, that the boys won't have a sense of family so we always do family things...and of course, we'll go see Grandma and Grandpa. I've got the ingredients for a peanut butter pie that I've been meaning to make for my dad for months and haven't got to it yet, so I'll let the boys help me. They like to help me cook... I'll make my famous "Mimi's Homemade Waffles".... I think I'm going to try to take them to the ceramics shop that opened up here in Pflugerville. If we can paint something here, perhaps I can give it to Melissa for Mother's Day...But I think I'm trying to pack too much into a short week because on Saturday I'll have to drive them to Ozona. No, my daughter would drive the entire way to Pflugerville to pick up the boys but that would be cruel and unusual punishment so I'll meet them at the mid-way point and we'll just each have a nice road trip without being overwhelmed.
Hmmm. Is that their car I hear pulling into the driveway?
