The Lone Wife

I hate when Darrell travels! He's in Dallas this week, and I can't wait for him to get home! Tonight was our dinner swap- I hate making the meals, but I love getting the new ones. I made Sweet and Sour Chicken- yum!

I'm gearing up for all the after school activities starting this week. The girl's want to do tumbling again, so we have that and swim lessons. I have decided to be brave and learn how to swim. My classes are right after the girl's. I have never been comfortable in the water, and I need to learn how to stay floating for longer then a few seconds! Lexi and Ashlee are thrilled that I'm taking a class. Many times they have tried to teach me how to swim! I will never forget Darrell telling me he could teach me right after we were married. He was holding me like you would hold a toddler, you know across your forearms and was telling me to kick and move my arms. After a few minutes he stopped and told me I was right- I'm lacking some serious coordination! It was hilarious- I almost wish someone had a camera- almost! If I have to swim through hula hoops like Lexi and Ashlee did, I hope they have some pretty big ones!

Carly gets to start her Mommy and Me classes tomorrow and can't wait. I love being able to do these classes with her. Since Lexi and Ashlee were so close in age, and we were dirt poor I never got to do these with them.

My biggest project I'm working on this week is figure out where to find a cheap, but nice digital camera. I don't want to spend a lot on it - when we get our bonus we'll get a nice one. But I am so tired of the disposable cameras- I never remember to take them in to be developed. The lady that was fired from the dude ranch says she mailed us our camera, but we haven't ever received it. It's so depressing- all our pictures are gone off of the memory stick too. I hate dishonest people! Who knows though, maybe she did actually mail it and it got lost, but I seriously doubt it.
