This week has been busy! Monday night we had small group at Matt and Alana's, which was a lot of fun, although our focus for our discussion that evening was pretty heavy and left me feeling a little disturbed. It was leaning toward the whole "Where you go when you die" issue, and even as a Christian, I just don't enjoy 'going there'. But we ended the night on a high note by staying for an hour after small group had ended, chatting with Matt and Alana while enjoying some hot tea. Wednesday night Mike and Angie came over for dinner and a movie. Clint made enchiladas and we watched "Date Night," which turned out to be pretty cute. The kids played in Trin's room the entire time, so ironically the whole evening did wind up feeling like a double-date of sorts. It was very relaxing and fun.
Friday I conquered our new evil gradebook program, turned my first quarter grades in ahead of schedule, and have been enjoying the three day weekend ever since...although we did have a little incident with Moses. Friday night Clint went to take the dogs for a quick Jeep-ride around the block (long story) while I waited in the yard. When he turned back onto our street about a block from our home, Moses jumped out of the Jeep. It was pitch black, so the poor dog just sort of disappeared into the dark. While Clint situated the Jeep into the backyard, the kids and I stood out on the street, yelling for Moses to come. I finally could see him in the distance, turning the corner and running toward home. But suddenly a red car passed, and my heart sank a little because I knew that the driver probably wouldn't be able to see our dog. I started running like a crazy person, hollering for Moses to get out of the street, which really made no sense because the stupid dog doesn't understand a word I'm saying, but it felt right at the moment. Luckily the driver came screeching to a stop in the nick of time...maybe she saw the crazy person in her rear-view mirror. When she opened her door to check on Moses, he immediately jumped into her car and into the backseat, where her teenage son was texting and apparently oblivious to the fact that a 140lbs. dog was now drooling on him. I managed to drag Moses out of her vehicle and about twenty feet down the road, but then he got loose, tore straight for the woman's car, and jumped into her backseat again. At this point the woman announced that she worked for animal control (no, the irony here doesn't escape me) and pulled out a big leash. I started to tell her that our dog was licensed and all that stuff, but then I realized she just wanted to help me get him home. So we clipped the leash on him and managed to drag him back to the house. When we walked up the driveway (my bare feet now scraped raw from asphalt), Clint casually sauntered out of the backyard. I'm pretty sure that my hands were on my hips and my voice was full of mock-attitude as I asked him, "Where the hell have you been?"
Finally starting to feel tired-yay! Apparently giving a play-by-play of my week is enough to bore me into tiredness. But before I go to bed, here's the culprit:
Do I have to shirt it up now?
