Quite the Weekend
So. I didn’t manage a post on Friday because (among other things) I was dealing with a massive ten-year-old tantrum about piano practicing AND we packed up and spent the night in Clearfield to get a jump on the drive to our niece’s wedding in Logan Saturday morning. It was lovely, the wedding luncheon was nice, we hit the Lazy Ones outlet on the way home, and then–after the reception–we ended up going to watch the BYU game with family. And seriously, folks–what a game! I’m not going to offer up any analysis of it, since my knowledge of basketball barely extends beyond the basics, but it got awfully close at the end. (We were watching it delayed on my sister- and brother-in-law’s TV, but I couldn’t handle the uncertainty, so you can bet I was checking the latest scores on my phone all through the second half. On the down-low, of course.)
Anyway. Staying in Davis County to watch the game meant a late night and a later start to our morning on Sunday; we were JUST getting ready to set up for Family Scripture Time when my aunt called to tell me that my mother (did I mention my parents were in town?) had fainted in her sacrament meeting and was heading to the hospital with a concerningly low heartrate. I left my family to do scripture time without me and headed up to the hospital, where I stayed until my mom was discharged. (She’s healthy, but they want her to do a heart monitor when she gets back to Idaho.) Add that to the chaos my house had become during such a busy weekend, and a LONG doctor’s appointment for my oldest on Monday, and you have a general picture of why I haven’t managed a post before now. (Yesterday involved the library and a whole heckuva lot of laundry.) Here I am, however, and while I’m not going to manage much of the organizing I was thinking I’d do today, I managed some unplanned organizing instead. We’ll see how I do posting this Friday…
