After bowling I picked up some treats for SNAP and came home and finished up the laundry from our trip. The kids were good and did all theirs before we got home and I was glad because Larry and I had enough of our own. Kimi talked me into running to the store with her to get some treats which meant I wouldn't have time to fix dinner before leaving for SNAP. Kimi said that she would fix it but we ended up buying a rotisserie chicken for dinner instead. A friend of ours was at the store and told me that I might be nominated for "Mother Of The Year" because of my fine meal in my shopping cart. I also had Ding Dongs for dessert and some bread. I just laughed and reminded him that my family is growing and we are all pretty darn healthy in spite of how I "prepare" my meals. I grabbed a little chicken and a Ding Dong and headed out the door.
Virginia's ward came and did our activity tonight. The kids put vinyl on a tile and then painted over it. The kids from the other ward were really good about helping our participants and it looked like everyone was enjoying themselves. The tiles had to be baked and the vinyl peeled off and so we will get them next week. Everyone was excited and proud of their tile. There are a "few" artists in the bunch. I felt very happy tonight and had a few of the kids tell me they loved me. Oh my that brings me so much Joy. I'm glad that I am making a little difference in their life. They are making a huge difference in mine!
Sometimes when I drive home I hear some pretty strange things from one of the gals I take home. Tonight was one of those nights. It kind of reminded me of the New Orleans "Crap" Story....something I did not need to hear or know. The gal read something bizarre on the internet where a lady lost weight and so she is going to try it. I told her she just needs to change a few things at a time in her diet and walk more. I guess she thinks she might be the "Lucky One" that doesn't have to change any habits and will loose if she does the bizarre thing she read. Oh my gosh...I'm not going to lie....I gagged! I am certain I did NOT make eye contact...oh but I was driving her home! ☺
(The tiles turned out pretty and shiny! Even the ones that I thought were kind of ugly ended up looking great)
