Long day(s)
27-Aug-03
Had a nice, long long long long day yesterday, and again today– little ones can be pretty exhausting! Whew!
Yesterday: Went to mom’s in the morning, then met Jenny at her school. Set up her computer at school so she can get her email there. Went with her to her place, where Austin and I played the fishing game for an hour or so.
Had dinner with Jenny, her kids, and her boyfriend Jason who seems like a good guy.
Went home after dinner, and crashed. Was supposed to meet up with mom, but she crashed, too. Left my laptop at Jenny’s, so I had to call mom and ask her to pick it up in the morning when she got the kids.
The kids were at mom’s house in the morning when I got up and over there. Austin and I went to the Wallace State Park, where I thought there was a geocache, but was wrong (it’s at Watkins State Park instead). We went for a walk and played in the playground, then went back to mom’s house.
We went to St. Joseph after Jenny got to Mom’s after work (she’s on half days this week because of the heat). Took photos with Mom, the kids, and Oren, then Jenny, Austin, Lizzie, and I went to the music store, where I got Austin his violin (a rental). He’ll start lessons this year, hopefully for a nice, long future as a musician! 
I wonder if I can get him on the phone every night for 15 minutes to listen to him practice?
Anyway, then we went to dinner, and then the drive home. I got in about 2 hours ago (still need to practice, ahem), and am now doing my online stuff, email, journal, etc. Updated Jenny’s journal style to use component– hope she likes it. If not, I can always change it back.
