I must say that it wasn't a terrible week for the most part. It has been hectic at work as usual. I had a lot of pressure to finish my schedule for the month and it's been really hard since we were minus one employee now. It takes a lot of coordinating with my staff to fill in all of the holes that are now there and we're getting there slowly, but surely. Everyone has been pretty good about helping and they've been very patient with me. I finally got it finished with the exception of a hole or two, but at least it's done.
The highlight of my week is that I got to see a friend that I haven't seen since high school! Unfortunately she is in town as her step-brother recently passed away. She and her two other siblings are left to take care of everything as they are the immediate family. Even though she was extremely stressed and overwhelmed with everything, we had an awesome visit. We enjoyed some smoothies and we were able to do some catching up. The nice part was- it felt like we picked up right where we left off. With the exception of filling each other in on details, it was like we had seen each other just last week. Now that is a friend! She will be coming in town more frequently for a while so we did make some plans to get together.
Last night we went to Busch Gardens with the kiddos. This is the first time they have been this season. You would have thought it was the first time period as they were pure energy. I don't know what possessed the youngest, but he decided he wanted to ride some coasters. That was a total shocker. Big Bad Wolf was the first choice, and he has been on that before, but the line was crazy long. He then ventured to the Lochness. Wow, he did it!! Maybe it wasn't such a good idea to ride it the first time when it was dark and he couldn't tell where he was going. He was pretty dizzy when he came off, but being the trooper he is, he decided he still wants to ride it again. We're going to wait until it's daylight though. I am so proud of him!!!
