Museum
It's been almost a week again. It seems I am not writing as much in here as I was when I started this up. I guess at least I am writing here.
There hasn't been too much that has gone on to write about (that's my defense). Most things are the same way as they were, and not a lot changes. Last Friday (2-29) was my day off. The kids had the day off of school as well for teacher prep type of things. Our daughter has been sick most of this week. There was the one day that she was taken out of school and then she stayed home also on Thursday. She also stayed in bed most of the day on Friday. We did try to find somewhere to go on Friday, but that didn't go anywhere. My wife was a bit upset because she thought I had wasted quite a bit of time on nothing while she was getting ready. I told her we should go to Fort Douglas museum on Saturday. That sounded OK to her, but we weren't sure about our daughter.
Saturday came, and my wife took her time getting ready. She thought our daughter was too sick to go anywhere, but our daughter had gotten up and gotten dressed so she could go. I said something to my wife and she became upset at me. She told us to just go. I had a few things that still had to be done, so I told the kids to get some lunch. We were finally ready to go, when I went back to say goodbye to my wife. She said something about hurrying to get ready and here we were going to go. I told her we would wait for her, but she said that she didn't want to go now and I had better get my head out of the bathroom door. We left. That was a mistake. She couldn't believe that I would actually go although I clearly heard her say that she wasn't going to go now. The prednizone that she has been taking is making her really grumpy.
We enjoyed the time at the museum and looking at the old guns that were in there. We also went outside to look at the tanks and the helicopters. I just wish they would've made it possible to look inside the tanks to see how they were. It was a little bit cold outside and we hadn't thought to bring coats, so we didn't spend too much time there. I asked the kids if they had enjoyed their time and they indicated that they had. On the way home, we stopped into Walmart to get ice-cream and root beer for some root beer floats. That is the first carbonation that I have had since I had been in the hospital. I gotta say that it was good.
Saturday evening it snowed. I felt guilty because I can't go out and shovel the snow yet. My son and my wife went outside and shoveled the stuff. It was only a couple of inches. They didn't take very long, and then my wife went for a walk.
Sunday, I had to teach a primary class. Had to is to strong of words because I kind of enjoyed it. The lesson was on Jesus was once a child like us (or something like that). The lesson had so much material that there wasn't any way to get through it all. I did my best and gave the lesson. At one point we were comparing food that we ate in common and in difference with Christ. One of the girls couldn't get past that. From that point on everything I said she said Jesus ate _____. The funniest was when she said Jesus ate baaabiiis (babies). She pronounced it kind of funny (thus the funny spelling). We didn't laugh in class, but both my wife and I laughed as we left church that day. There were 9 five year olds in that class (there are 13 on the roll). This just goes to show how young our ward really is. We have a normal size ward, but the amount of young children is staggering.
We skipped Sacrament meeting (I know it's the most important meeting) and headed to my in-laws house to help out there since my mother-in-law was coming out of the hospital after having re-constructive knee surgery. She came home with the walker and we helped out a bit and then visited. I went on a walk with Anne and my daughter. It was a good walk (but cold).
Well, this week just keeps on moving along, but really there isn't too much to say. I have been kept busy at work and that is about it. Tonight, when nothing was on TV, I played "Endless Ocean" on the Wii system that we have. That is an addictive game to me, and it really has no action to it. It's kind of relaxing, and educational at the same time.
