Sunday Aug 7

Well today I awoke after a very good nights sleep. I think I was holding everyone else from coming into the living room as when I got off the couch there was no one in the living room but when I came out of the restroom there was activity in the living room.  Thanks guys for letting me sleep, seems like I just cant get enough.  Laurie and I went to Reasors for some tofu noodles and to check out what else they might have.  When we got back to the house we saw that Tom had left to get Alexis, when they returned we went to Steak and Shake for lunch, they have this burger that haunts me it is a Royal burger, I think about it alot.  It has two thin patties, a slice of cheese, lettuce and tomato on a great bun, but here is the kicker it has a fried egg on top of the patties.  It is a very filling burger, it does not look that big but I can not quite finish one. Much less the fries that come with it.  We waited today for a table as there were seven of us, there was also the after church crowd and the promotion of kids eating free on the weekend.  I could not believe the traffic that went thru this place. It took us quite a while to get our table but when we got our food it was worth the wait.

After eating we headed back to the house to have cake and ice cream for Tom's birthday.  I stayed for a little bit after this and then took my leave to head home.

My plan at this time was to get home and get ready for Sunday night church, well what do they say about the best laid plans. 
Traffic was not that bad, till we hit the construction area, I was driving along seeing signs for construction, then I topped this hill and traffic was at a complete stop, we were going from two lanes into one.  As everyone got merged in traffic started to roll again.  Other than that the trip went very smooth, when I got near Little I called Daddy to let him know I was nearby and ready to move the trash that had piled up at home, since we are in a burn ban we have to haul off out trash.  So when we were done with this Misti called to see how my drive was going and I told her I would be home in a few minutes, she let me know that she had planned to run to town for juice and to get dinner for the kids so I told her I was game and I would just head to church from McDonald's, by this time I was starting to have pains in my lower back and a headache was building.  After dinner I decided I would not be going to church as my head was pounding and my back was on fire.  So I came home and laided down for a bit then took my shot and meds so now I hope the pain will be tolerable in the morning.
