Sleepy....so very...

sleepy.... What a busy weekend. Patrick took off work on Friday and we got the kids registered for school, our garage sale permit, and then we went to the Lake County Museum to see the Walter Payton exhibit which closed this weekend. It was fabulous. Really very good. There was even a display with his Super Bowl ring. Very cool. Kids got to put on a Bears uniform with pads. Saturday we went to the LF picnic - successfully avoiding people I really didn't want to see, but talking to a few others. Kids had fun. We stayed a few hours, had lunch, watched some soccer, visited with some people and left. Then we were off to the Grayslake Art Festival which is always very nice. Patrick picked up lots of business cards mostly of people without websites. I was wondering why and he had to explain to me that maybe those people needed website...lol.....oh yeah....why didn't I think of that. Sometimes I'm not the brightest crayon in the pack. After that we stopped home to let loopy dog out and decided to ride bikes up to the RL festival since it is only about half-way to the pool and it was such a beautiful cool day. SO we did and it was really a dud. Too bad RL. Grayslake Art fest was much better...very lively with a band, lots of food, lots of people milling about and tons or exhibits. RL had a band, and some food, although they were too spread out, and only 2 tents of exhibitors, some rides for the kids that cost at least a buck each. We looked around and left. After that we decided to explore some paths in the newer subdivision to the south of us, so we did and boy were they nice! We're extremely jealous of the fabulous bike path system they have running through their community. But at least it is close by and someday soon we should be able to easily hook up to it from our house. While we were stopped at a park down there we decided to get a sack of tacos and go to another park we haven't been to in years. A couple years ago we used to do that on Sundays since TB used to have 49cent taco Sunday. So we did, but by the time we got to the park and ate it was almost too chilly to play. We stayed a little bit but then decided to come home. It was after 9 by that time. Sunday we slept in (well, everyone else did, I had dog duty). Patrick made pancakes and we worked on all the junk for the garage sale. Man do we have a lot. I got another table set up in the garage and started going through the boxes that were left in the garage from last year and there is a ton of stuff. We packed a dinner and went to the pool around 5 and swam for almost 2 hours, then had a picnic dinner and went back in for swimming lessons. The boy was complaining about having to go to lessons again already (a week later, lol) but you should have seen him jumping off the diving board. Having a ball. I think he's used to it already.

Today we took Patrick to the train so I can go to an interview this afternoon. More about that later. I'm not so sure I want to work for this place after I see their crummy hiring practices! But we need the money desperately.

Alright now...back to work.
