The past couple of days have been a blur.
Yesterday, Corey and I decided to go to the fair and check out the exhibits and booths before we picked the kids up from school. After we picked them up, we took them out to dinner and then to the fair. We let Mercedes run around with her friends, and we hung out with Alex. I went with him on “our” ride – the Gee Wizz – since it’s not the kind of ride that throws you around and you don’t have to strain anything to get your kicks out of it, three times. I love that ride, and he just cracks me up. Corey took him on the Gravitron twice, and that was the extent of the grown-ups tickets. We got the kids ride bracelets.
This morning, Mercedes, Alex, and I got started on the Saturday chores, then Mercedes and I packed up and headed to the bake sale. The kids made almost $400 in that 4 hours! There were still a ton of goodies leftover, so the group leader for the east coast trip is freezing them until the back to school dance that the group is hosting as a fundraiser, and we’ll sell the rest, hopefully, there. Mercedes is getting to know more of the kids in her group, and she’s starting to get excited. She even had fun at the fundraiser. I knew this would be good for her!
After the bake sale, we came home, and I got to work on my laundry. Due to all the playing around we did yesterday, I didn’t finish the two loads of laundry Corey and I started yesterday, and I hadn’t washed my morning load of laundry for today. I’m caught up now, though, and I’m very pleased. It really didn’t take much.

Oh wow, that’s great about the bake sale!
Sorry I didn’t get back to you on Friday…I went with Carmen to Laughlin for a doctors appointment and we were there from about 9:30 in the morning until almost 6:00 that night. Afterward, I came home, went grocery shopping and cooked dinner. I was exhausted

Not a problem, I remembered as soon as I got off the phone with your answering machine. I was going to leave another message, but then I figured, “Meh, she knows I can barely keep up with my OWN family’s schedule!” LOL!
