My Tuesday
Okay, so last night I am still sitting in my pajamas at 3 pm (give me a break, I am still sick) and I get a phone call from my brother asking if I am going to the supper where my grandma is receiving an award. I had no idea that there was a supper or that my grandma was even getting a reward. I phoned my mom and dad and asked them why no one let me know. They told me they didn't think anyone would want to go, with it happening on the Tuesday after the Easter weekend. Mom even used the words, "No one would have the time to go unless they lived next door." The ironic part of it is, I DO live next door to the awards ceremony. The community hall is right behind my house! My mom and dad are so forgetful.
When I used to live at home, when messages came in, I would pass them on to everyone, and since I left home our family never has any idea of what is happening. So it has been quite a few years now that we are all like, "what? Who had a baby?", "they passed away?" "they got married? When was the wedding?". Yeah, I think raising us 6 kids really did it in for my mom's memory. Haha.
Anyway, so last night we went to this awards ceremony. It was an awesome supper, but then we had to sit though a boring meeting. There were two people receiving medals, Grandma and some other man, for all the volunteer work they have put into the community. It was really cool to hear a lady call my grandma the wrong name, and correct her quickly. For those of you who don't know, my grandma has alzhiemers, and so it is always awesome to see her remember things. Not that she has ever forgotten her own name, or my name, for that matter. It is just awesome to see her brain work that fast. Her loss of memory has really weakened her confidence, so she normally would not say anything, but for her to say (and say somewhat annoyed), "My name is not Doris, Ethyl, my name is Joyce." and laugh! It was so cute! (Her sister's name is Doris, so there may have been some sibling rivalry)
Ken and Jen came out for the evening, and so while the comedian was on, I had to go home for our bible study, but they let me take baby Torie with me. It was the first time she has even been away from mom. I only kept her for about 30 minutes. She wasn't crying, but she was really hungry. Sucking on her hands, the blankets, etc. She is so darn cute. I wish I had a digital camera.
Our bible study went awesome, but there was one time where everyone was talking, and I said something a little inappropriate to Gabe, but right when I said it, the room went silent. A few people heard what I said, and I was so embarrassed. My face has not gone red like that in a long time.
I am enjoying being on days off. I love sleeping in. I keep on trying to stay up late, but Gabe always wants me to be in bed while he is falling asleep. Most people complain of having to share a bed, but both Gabe and I sleep better when we are both in there.
Well I have rambled on about nothing for long enough now. I am going to be having coffee with a friend of mine today, and it would profile be a good idea to have a shower and get out of my pajamas. If only pajamas were socially appropriate to wear everywhere. I would have it made.

Because I am being too lazy to edit my blog, I meant to say probably a good idea, not profile a good idea. Oops.
