My Lucky Day?

It has been a busy week, but I have been slacking.... I just don't like to blog when I don't have a camera to take pictures. Here are a few highlights of the week.

We got our new oven installed on Monday. The guys that installed it also installed our dishwasher correctly. Now it doesn't lean out when you open it. They did a couple of other little things that we have needed done for a while. I will be happy to recommend these guys to you if you need any installation work done.

I took a computer class on Wednesday. We have to get 6 hours of flex credit by May 8 ( I think that is the right date). Wednesday was my 3rd hour. I was stressing about how to get my remaining 3 hours on Thursday when I received an email from the Language Arts Supervisor about a workshop on Saturday that counted 3 hours. I figured that was a sign, so I registered for it.

Friday, we went to dinner at IHOP because Trent wanted breakfast for supper. He ate his WHOLE meal and still wanted a bowl of fruit. I guess he really wanted breakfast after all!

Then later on Friday night while we were bathing the kids, we had a knock on the door. As I was walking to the door, I noticed a dog in the window. It looked like Brodie. I opened the door, and our neighbor (who I had not met) asked if it was our dog. She said she called the number on the collar but her daughter (who looks to be about 4) said it was our dog. And that four year old is smart because that dog and Brodie could be brother and sister. It was a black and white Shih Tzu with one black eye. It was the opposite eye of Brodie's. Weird!

Then today I went to the workshop. It was in south Memphis at a middle school. I drove using my iPhone's GPS. I pulled in to see not a single other car in the parking lot. I got out and looked into the front doors. I noticed metal detectors which made me glad that I don't teach middle school in the city. I called Matt to make sure the class wasn't canceled. Then I figured it out. I must have not gone far enough. Sure enough the middle school was next door. Whew!

The workshop was great, and I won door prizes! I never win! I won a book at one of the sessions, and I won the BIG prize at the end - a $75 facial from a spa! So maybe my luck is changing after all!
