Yea!! An Evening at Home, Kinda

So, Courtney tells me that coach says the team deserves a break and they are going to be done with ball practice by 3:30 so she can ride the bus home!!! You have no idea how excited I am to hear this. I teach an early class and leave the house about 6:45 everyday and have to wait until Courtney is done with ball practice at 5 or 5:30 every evening to go home. It sure does make for long days. We live too far from town to go back and forth, even with gas prices dropping some. So, since she could ride the bus home with her sisters and watch them, I left school a little early and Mike and I went to town for some much needed grocery shopping (yes, Corinthia, my monthly trip). It was nice to have some one-0n-one time with my wonderful husband. We enjoy the time we have to just talk without the kids, where we can discuss anything we want without having to censure because of little ears. After a quick stop at the farm store and Walmart (can't get to town without going those places) we go to the grocery store. Two baskets and $400 later we head home. Frozen pizza was for dinner, so it was very quick and easy and cooked while we all put the groceries away. We still wern't too late getting home, since I had the groceries unloaded and put away by 7.
It was nice to sit and talk to the girls too, hear what they did at school. The little ones couldn't wait to share the petting zoo the FFA does for FFA week. Courtney took our pony in to let the kids pet. Morgyn was really excited to show off the horse ALL of her writing is about at school. Everyone in her class has heard of Bullet and now they have 'met' him!
Now we are back to the grind since ball practice resumes today and it will be another late night; the things we do for our kids.
