Friday, Saturday, Sunday and some blabbering

Friday we ordered pizza, nothing exciting there. Brandon made it to gold level in school. His levels are silver, bronze, gold. He's worked really hard for it, he wants to go back to Toledo Blade instead of being at his special school. It's a goal he is working towards, and I think he will be back at him school for 3rd grade. I am so proud of how he is excelling in school, I didn't think it would be possible for quite a long time. He's made so much progress. Sometimes it's hard to see how far he has come when you live in it everyday. Once in awhile you can sit back and see the change, you think back to how things were, and how things are now. Maybe it's us that have changed, maybe we understand things more in depth, and know Brandon better than we did before. I'm not sure which it is, but I am grateful for the progress on all of our parts. We really have grown as a family unit. Sure, I have some complaints, or maybe I should re-word that, not complaints but small issues.

Saturday was relaxing. I washed laundry and did some Craig's List posting to sell a dog kennel, a frog, and a toddler car bed. I emailed pictures to a friend. We went to Walmart, cooked dinner and watched a movie on Disney. It seems like I should have gotten allot more done, but it went by really quickly.

Sunday Rick stayed home with the kids and I went to the dog track with my friend Fran and her daughter Bonnie. It was fun, I really would like to adopt a retired greyhound, what beautiful animals they are. I only lost 18 bucks, but didn't have to buy lunch, so I broke even in that sense. The whole time I kept thinking about how nice it would be to be there with Rick and the kids, I think, no, I know that they would really like it. They had 3 levels the bottom one there were families and it was closest to the dogs. Maybe I can get Rick and the kids to come and he'll want to adopt too. Sadie would have someone to run with, Brody would get a break, and Kaylin would shut up about wanting another dog.

Tomorrow I took the day off from work. At 9:30 Brandon goes to the pediatrician for his physical, 11:15 he gets a filing at the dentist, 3 pm I get 5 fillings. Might as well bang out all my appointments in one day. Then I'll take some time for Brandon to go to the pediatric eye specialist, for his neuro/psych eval, and probably blood work. I took Friday off too. We are going to SunSplash we our rain check tickets.
