Monday Sept 5

So I had forgotten to turn off the alarm on my cell phone for this morning so even though I did not have to work I was woken up at 6am,  I guess it is good to stay in practice.  I was able to still hit the snooze with out opening my eyes.  Would not want that talent to get rusty.  Ha Ha.  So I did finally get out of bed at 8 this morning and made some coffee then just chilled.  This weekend was the first weekend since the end of July that I have not brought work home and also gone up to work some on Sunday.  I feel very refreshed

Misti and Kris

We decided that a trip to Shawnee was going to happen today.  I was wanting to go get my hair cut and Misti and family had things they needed to do, we took separate cars as I thought Nicole and I would run to the mall get the cut, then hit Wal Mart for a few birthday gifts then get right back home.  En route we decided to go to Delta Cafe for a salad after we were done with the shopping.  When we got to the mall we saw Kris and Patience right away, Misti and Payton were in JC Pennys so Patience sat with Cole while I talked to the lady who had permed my hair last night.  I told her that yes I did think I needed some of it trimmed off as it was too long on top and going straight already.  Last night I was in a hurry to get to Bible study so I told her I would be back if I decided to have it trimmed.  Well it did not take long for her to trim it then I told Misti and family that we were heading to Delta after Wal Mart if they wanted to join us.  I told her we would call when we were done.  So while we were in Wal Mart we saw the lines and I told Cole, I will just go later at home since they don't have the birthday gift I was looking for either.As we were leaving  Misti called to say they were in the Delta parking lot and I told her we were heading her way.

I had the best chef salad there, and everyone seemed to enjoy their lunch, I was only able to eat a third of mine so I brought the rest home for lunch this next week.  I then decided to grab a salad to go for Janet, I thought she might enjoy something lighter than what we have been taking her.

I stopped to drop it off on the way home and she was very pleased.  I then got to the house and told Cole and Patience ( who both rode home with me ) that I was very tired and thought a rest sounded good, Cole agreed Patience said she was not that tired. Ha Ha.

Later after we were done resting Nicole got her things ready to head home, I played with Payton for a bit then before we knew it it was time to get dinner started.  I lit the grill then while Misti made the go alongs, I grilled the steaks.  We had a very nice sit down family dinner.  It is not often the five of us get to sit down together to eat.

After dinner I gave Payton his bath then when he was heading to bed I went to Wal Mart for the things I did not get earlier today.  After I got home I found out the football draft we were going to do tonight was going to be held tomorrow night instead.  This will give everyone a chance to think over their line up.  I will put the last of the Labor Day pictures up tomorrow night, I have 3 more I would like to share.
