Daily Life

Life has been crazy busy lately. Last Friday, the 17th, I babysat Bodee, my nephew. Since the time I watched him when he was extremely sick, 104 fever, he has not liked to be left by his mom :( When they first came inside I got him distracted by taking him outside to play in the sand box with his tractors, then when his mom left...she drove out the wrong side of the neighbor and he saw her leave. Oh boy, the tears started. I want mama, dada, mama, dada...was all I heard for about 30 minutes.

Around the time he started crying so hard I though he was going to throw up, I had a fabulous idea! (Remember...I don't do throw up) I can check Ry out of school a hour and a half early to come home and play with him!! It being Friday I knew Ry had art and P.E. the last part of the day, so he wouldn't miss much. The minute I said "Bodee - Should we go get Ry!" he completely changed! After a long sigh...he said "yah" and stopped crying!!

Yeah for Aunt Heidi! When Bodee first saw Ry he ran and gave him a big hug, it was the cutest thing ever. Later Ry told Susie that he charges a dollar a hour for babysitting - and she paid him, lol! Ry also said that it wore him out... I told him to remember that when he gets older - babies are A LOT of work!

On Monday when I Watched Bodee again he didn't cry once! I was so nervous because I can't keep checking Ry out of school to play with him :( bummer! I found out later that she had prepped him the night before - "You want to go play with Heidi?!" - and it worked! Yeah!! About 30 minutes before she got off of work, he said -without crying- "Heidi, I want my Mom..." I told him it was okay and that she would be here soon. He just said "K" and I distracted him by having him help me pull weeds outside! It was a great day :)

On Tuesday I had a meeting with the Weber County Superintendent, Mike Skeen. He was amazing and acted really interested in what I was looking for in the new principal that we will be getting next year. Mike met with me, the PTA President, and Lance, the Community Council President, after he met with the school faculty. The board meeting when the announce the new principal is on May 6th. I'm so excited and so nervous.

On Wednesday I went to Bountiful to pick up my Dad and take him to the hospital. Once there we met up with my Mom, Susie, and Bodee. We all hung out and visited while my Dad had some test run. Good times! I loved it. My sister and I get going - teasing our parents - and it's fun all around. Afterwards we went to Tony's Pizza. Yeah! It's my comfort food, love that place! That night was busy with the cubs pinewood derby and a stake girls camp meeting. Overall it was a long day!

Thursday we had the final PTA meeting of the year. During this meeting Kim, the outgoing President, turned it over to me. I was excited that a lot of people came out to the meeting and I think it will be an interesting two years. I have big shoes to fill, Kim was an amazing president, so wish me luck!!

Later that night my side of the family met at my grandparents house in the Terrace to celebrate my Mom's birthday. I think it was a bit much for my grandma to have a full house - she made absolutely NO sense, lol! Funny.... but sad :(

And finally... The Utah Jazz beat the L.A. Lakers!! Go Jazz!! I can't wait for the game tonight @ 7 pm, on KJAZZ!! We are going to tie up the series...hopefully :0)
