Welcome to Friday!!!
I hope that you had a great week and that you found it to be successful, fulfilling and enjoyable. I hope that you were able to spend time with those who were most important to you?
My week has been busy on the work front, busier than normal and I am even more excited than normal that today is Friday! Even though work has been extremely challenging, it has had some amazing and thrilling moments.
For example, Wednesday I was able to enjoy a free training conference. I learned a lot about what I can do on my job, should be doing on my job and how to work smarter on my job. The conference had two exceptional keynote speakers and I enjoyed their presentations tremendously. I even won a free DVD during one of the raffles. My friend and co-worker was hoping one of us would win the free Android, but the DVD was good enough. In addition to the DVD I picked up a lot of other conference freebies and some information for additional training.
The girls are doing well. I believe they had a very good week. At least Gabbi said it was good b/c she didn't have a lot of homework. Paige said it was really good b/c school is almost over. Paige is all about "Summer Break!" All of the girls are in the finishing up mode.
Cassarra finished up her AP exams this week on Thursday. She did very well. For most of her classes she will not have much left to worry about. Her math and history classes are essentially over because she has taken the final exam for both.
Gabbi has really excelled on her last few assignments and it looks like everything is coming together for a great final nine weeks. She is starting to get things to click in Math and Science. She is also applying her skills and talents (all of them) in her other classes. It is so good to see her work with passion and purpose. It is also easier on her parents when she is applying herself fully. Gabbi is also looking forward to he upcoming birthday. I'm not sure Bill Gates could afford her plans, but Trish and I are going to do our best to make it memorable.
Sydney is doing extremely well and she was selected for an end of the year Spanish spelling bee. She is a bit nervous suddenly. We are trying to get her to accept the invitation and give it a try.
Paige is trying to convince me to let her take the next Tae Kwon Do exam. This will move her up in belt rankings and that is exactly what she wants. At her next rank she would enter sparring training as well as traditional Tae Kwon Do forms and techniques. I'm not sure I'm ready to see her sparring with other kids (bigger or smaller). I'm also, not quite sure I want to spend the cash for all of the sparring equipment she will need until she is a bit more responsible with her things.
Ava and Emma are getting back into their routines. Our travels and weekend away got them out of their routines and this was another good adjustment week. Last night they actually went to bed and fell asleep at a reasonable time. Emma actually fell asleep early, but a diaper change and the walk up the stair woke her up. Those two are so funny. Last night at dinner they were both trying to sneak food while we were setting the table. Ava also patrolled the table after dinner trying to sneak dessert from her unsuspecting sisters. She managed to score a big gulp from Gabbi's kool-aid cup.
Trish is doing well. She is a bit exhausted from the impact of allergies and the hard work of getting Ava and Emma back on schedule. Hopefully some rest over the weekend will be just what the doctor ordered.
May the One who is eternal and everlasting, satisfy your hearts and minds with His unfailing love. May your hearts and minds be satisfied by the knowledge that you are loved. I pray for all the best to you and your family for a great weekend!
Have a great weekend!!!
