Sunday stuff.....The week in review

First, run over to Mercy Uganda to see what our team is up to on this latest trip to Uganda.


What an exciting week we've had around here....first a little not so good advertising for a restaurant we really like in San Destin.

I have been telling my sister and her husband for months about a really nice Mexican restaurant at Grand Blvd. in San Destin and that they should stop by sometime on their way home and try the food.  They are big Mexican food lovers.

Sooooo.......they did just that Thursday evening after a very stressful day here interviewing people for live in care for our mother and all that goes with that, a good Mexican meal and a margarita sounded like the ticket so that was the night they stopped to try the one I had so highly recommended. 

They got into the restaurant and asked if they were in time for happy hour.  Yes, they were, but happy hour was only in the bar area.  In the bar area are the bar and booths.  As you can see, either might pose a problem for my BIL.  So my sister asked could they make an exception and let them have it at a table.  NOPE.  They were not rude or impolite to my sister and her husband, but they just weren't making an exception despite the fact that he couldn't sit in the bar area.  

My sister thanked them and they walked out, rode down the road and had a great meal at J*m and N*cks BBQ.    I am deeply disappointed in this restaurant and think they were just plain wrong!  Kat, this is one of your favorite restaurants too!


O.k. enough with the complaints.  Sort of.....


Monday.........found out my thyroid was way out of whack.  All I did was go in to make sure my bloodwork was o.k. and to get prescriptions.  That's all, there was not supposed to be any surprises!


Tuesday........Bible study with a group of women that I love and had a great Bible lesson on the disciples.

Later that day, had a thyroid ultrasound and found out I have some small nodules....probably nothing to worry about.  I love it when they say that.  Check again in six months.


Wednesday.........Found out I actually do have a backbone when I got a call complaining that the CNA's at the retirement center where mama lives were having to actually do something for mama.  We have had around the clock care for over a year and they haven't had to even touch her......but she's been having a few hours alone for ONE week and I have been there almost half of those hours which may be why smoke started coming out of my ears and my head started spinning around  I decided I needed to have a talk with someone.  I happened to be turning into the parking lot at the retirement center when I got that call, and so just walked right in to see the head nurse.  I was NOT loud or anything like that, but I did remind the nurse that mama actually pays to be on assisted living.  I think we got that worked out, although I've gotten a couple death stares from the complainers. 
  Later, kept three of the most adorable toddlers in the church nursery during our Wednesday night service.  Two are walking and one is soooooo close! 


Thursday......took the boys to the vet during a break in the storm!  Later I went to the mall and turning into the parking lot saw this...

Poor guy, earlier it had been to the roof!  This happens often when we have a large amount of rain in a short amount of time.  The ditch just blends in with the road. 


Later, four of us siblings got together with mama to interview a potential live in caregiver.  We really liked her.....I would appreciate any and all prayers that this works out well!

Also on Thursday we found out something really wonderful...... I know I've already told you, but I just have to say it again.......I know I put up the ultrasound already, but once again......It's a boy!  Of course, that was the highlight of our week.  The most interesting thing is that they did a video and posted it on FB......I won't tell you how many times I've watch it....four.  So far.


Friday........I had coffee with my other sister who spent the night after our day of interviewing, then she left to visit her MIL and mama and I just can't remember the rest of the day!  Crazy huh?

Saturday........... hubby and I rode out to some property we have and just looked around.  We found a sectional sofa with recliners, lots of shingles, lots of beer bottles and various other things that people dumped there during the week.  Nice.  If you're ever in the market for cast off furniture or burned out cars, get in touch and we'll strike a deal! 


Today........ we had a wonderful day of worship.  Time to remember Who is actually in charge and that He can handle any and everything!  After lunch, I went to visit mama until she went to supper.  I've been reading to her and started to do that today......we both fell sound asleep!  Woke up just in time to walk down to the dining room.


Now, I know you are all fascinated with my week and now you can relax knowing that I survived!  :)

We continue to pray for the people of Haiti, the people of Uganda, the leaders of our country and all soldiers and their families everywhere!  We also, DH and I, continually count our blessings!  


Have a great week!
