Wow last week sped by and the weekend was caught up in the draft of it and went sweeping away also!
Monday found Randy at the airport flying to Tennessee for the week - with me looking forward to seeing him in Atlanta on Friday night!
Tuesday - We found out that by July 4th we will have 4 grandsons and Rylee. Yes Nyki found out she also is expecting a boy so after Jakob & Andrew are born we will have to figure out how all of us can get together for an updated family picture - our old one isn't even a year old yet!
Wednesday morning found me at the airport at 4:30 a.m. catching a flight to Indianapolois (sp?) for a testing session of the new accounting system at work. My co-worker/friend was to meet me in Atlanta airport for the flight to Indy - oh how I was looking forward to 2 hours of talking without the phone ringing and interrupting us. Christine couldn't make it.....long story short her son has the chicken pox. So I flew on alone. Met some other coworkers at the airport and went to our corporate office and started learning. Went to Cheese Burger in Paradise for supper - now that is a fun place!
Thursday was more training and the beginning of a cold - skipped out on the big get together at Fox & Hound to be in bed by 8:30 p.m. - I'M GETTING SO OLD!!!!! Actually I would have loved to go but was feeling crappy and since we were all sharing a rental car was afraid that if I got to feeling worse everyone would have to leave so........I sacrificed. Also this was Britt's birthday - with both of us out of town - her hubby working late and being 8 months pregnant with 2 to toddlers wasn't the best of all birthday's for her!
Friday we wrapped up the testing - btw I think I will love the new system. Went to the airport where Christine and I were to be on the same flight again but NO I WAS all by myself! Looking forward to meeting my Honey in Atlanta for the return flight to Tampa - kind of hoping they had overbooked the flight so we could spend the night at the airlines expense in Atlanta. Landed in Atlanta listened to my messages and Randy had missed his flight in Nashville/Memphis where ever he was coming from in Tennessee. Called him back - was mad but not really mad - I guess disappointed is a better word. As I was walking and talking to him I glanced at the monitors to see where my (also lonely) flight took off from. Headed on the Tram to E3 from A2 - long way apart pulled a muscle in my right calf on the way. Get off the tram and call Nyki to chat with her - find the terminal and am hanging out talking to Nyki. I hear them say now boarding for Salt Lake City and I suddenly realize I am in D3 and only have 20 minutes to make it to E3. Remember my leg is hurt - burning like someone had thrown a match in the muscle. Hobbled to the tram again - crying by now and freaking to Nyki on the phone. Get off at the next stop which should be E but NO I GOT on the wrong tram I am in C - limp over to the other tram ride it to E - and go rushing to E3 which is one of the furtherest from the tram area (like D was) I get there they are boarding I rush on the plane and as I'm going by the Flight Attendant motions for me to hang my DIL's jacket (I had bought her in Indy) in the closet where they hang their jackets. Great idea! I get to Tampa all SAD.....knowing it will be 12:30 a.m. before Randy gets in and not having eaten supper - thinking we would eat together since our flight landed at 8:15. Get off the tram and see Britt and the boys waiting for me.....HAPPY - GLAD I'm not alone, am hugging them and thanking her for coming (Nyki and Randy had called her to let her know I was bummed so she thought it would be a good idea to meet me - and it was). Am loving on Trace who is wanting to know where Grandpa is and realize I don't have Tasha's jacket. CRAP! I grab my ID and boarding pass go back thru first security block - having to explain why I need to go back to the terminal side. Get past her - ride the tram again (don't forget my LEG hurts) see the Pilot from my flight and the flight attendant that had me hang it up to begin with (EVIL MAN!) They tell me it is at the gate. I go thru security having to explain to 2 different TSO employees why I needed back on the airside when I didn't have a ticket for an outgoing flight. They let me by I get to the gate - furtherest from the tram of course, and NO ONE IS THERE! I'm freaking out by now - look up and see a guy walking off with my jacket - still covered in the J.C. Penny's sack from where I bought it in Indy. I yell hey that's mine - he turns gives it to me and says I saved him from alot of paperwork. Go back over to the terminal, go to supper with Britt and Boys come back to airport (we took her car - so I didn't have to pay parking twice) and waited for 2.5 hours for Randy. Interesting place to people watch! Saw a guy get arrested.
Saturday we cleaned up the yard - bagging 18 LARGE YARD trash liners with leaves. Yard looks much better - but was too pooped to go to the party we were suppose to go to that night. btw my leg didn't hurt any at all when I got up Saturday morning, but was burning again by the time I finished mowing while Randy lawn vacummed the leaves.
Sunday - was church and lunch to celebrate Britt's birthday - and lots of boys time. Went on a scavenger hunt with the boys and Britt - AC thinks if you see something twice it should be added to the list so we could check it off! Listed started with 6 items ended with over 20, but we had a blast! Then it was time for a new MONDAY - hopefully will be a much better week!
