September 30th was a bit stressful. I had a meeting with my boss at the hospital and told her I was accepting a job at the SSA downtown. I had been turned down for 2 jobs at the hospital already and thought it was probably time to look elsewhere. I will continue on an "as needed" basis for the hospital and this will hopefully give my wrist the rest it needs. Steven had 3 friends over including Matt who moved to Arkansas last year. They had a great time.
This day was our Dinner for 8 gathering. Very enjoyable. We met two of the other four couples (we have 10) who will be in our group. Now comes the daunting task of finding days that work for 10 different people. That is always a challenge. When Fr. J. said the prayer he prayed for those who didn't have enough to eat tonight. I was pretty appalled when one woman kind of scoffed out loud (yes, while he was praying). But who knows what might have struck her as funny. Maybe she wasn't even listening to him, maybe she was thinking of something else. I have been known to laugh at the wrong moment myself.... Oct 3rd we had a girl scout meeting after school. That was pretty fun. We talked about some money earning ideas and such, a little about New York and also decided on what projects to start working on. Three of the girls are going to begin working on their gold award this year. Oct 6th I took the day off. Went to the Shatto Dairy Farm with some gals and kids. Milked a cow, had a fun relaxing day.
Oct 7th was BUSY BUSY BUSY. Steve, Jordan and I went to Rebuilding Liberty. Jordan went to a house with the Sertoma group and they were nice enough to give her a ride home. Steve and I went to a trailer home to work with a group from church. John had to divide his time between the KOC tootsie roll drive and his Just Faith group. At our house we got a lot done. I stayed until about 3 and did things like pulling skirting off the trailer to be replaced, put up mini-blinds, painted. We really accomplished a lot. I know the men were doing a lot harder work as they worked on plumbing, and deck building. But the inside was a lot nicer with the paint. I just felt bad for the guys who lived there. It's hard to ask for help but they did need help.
When we got back I had to go out and get a navy blazer for Steve, and called Claire's boutique for some white gloves for Jordan (for Jr. Cotillion). Then spent about 1-1/2 hours doing Jordan's hair and makeup for the homecoming dance. She wanted curly and that is what she got! She looked like a totally different person from the morning. When John went up to church for tootsie rolls after 5pm mass Steven headed off to the barn dance. He met a girl he liked named Sam on his mission trip this summer and she was there, so he got her e-mail. Everyone had a good time and their respective dances.
Oct. 8th was youth band 6pm mass, so we slept late. Ahhhhhh. In the afternoon the kids got all dressed up for their Cotillion class. They learned about getting refreshments, escorting, foxtrot and more. Seems like they enjoyed it, even though Steven protested a bit. Youth band mass was great!
