| It was like an ice skating rink on our way out to check the horses. I was shocked the horses didn't slip and hurt themselves! |
This past week was pretty much spent spending time together as a family indoors. Thanks to all the freezing rain all T's basketball practices were cancelled ( which was good because there was no way I was driving him there), A and D both had off from (technically A's work NEVER closes due to weather, but anyone uncomfortable driving in it can call in (whose comfortable driving in ICE!?!?, apparently, 3 vet assistants out of 10, 1 vet tech out of 4 and 1 vet out of 5), and we basically just stayed indoors watching movies and playing the Wii. Since it wasn't super cold, the chickens were able to stay outside and did not have to be moved to the garage, which was nice except we did have to go out a couple of times a day and check their water (and the horses water). Other than that, we had a pretty relaxing week. It was so nice to have power through the bad weather. It made it more relaxing for sure.
T did have a basketball game on Friday night, but by then everything was melted and the roads were back to normal. He only played 8 minutes ( because of the ankle injury I mentioned last time), but scored 8 points in those 8 minutes. The boy who scored the most points only had 11 points in 19 minutes so T was playing pretty well considering it was the first time he noticed his ankle bothering him since he started wearing his brace. We won that game.
L sang in both services on Sunday. She has been trying out for almost every solo that comes up, but so far hasn't got one. There is A LOT of kids in choir so the competition is pretty hard, but I am really proud of her for not getting discouraged and giving up.
A is on track to graduate college in December. She is really ready to NOT have to study. She has made all A's and B's in her course work so far, even with working 28 hours a week. She is doing really well balancing everything and I am proud of her too!
This week we head to Austin for the state basketball tournament which leaves A to run the farm by herself, in addition to her work and school. We made everything as easy as possible so it shouldn't take too long for her to feed everyone. In fact, unless an emergency happens, she is only feeding the animals. We'll get all the cleaning and other chores done when we get back. A is terrified of the horse so she'll probably just hang the hay bags on the fence and not even enter the pen, which is fine as long as she feeds them.
We have plans to go do one fun thing while in Austin, we have some ideas on what that will be, but I'll let you know next week what we decide.
