Poor Daddy!

To say the least, this weekend could be called Jason's very own comedy of errors.

Friday night started out great. A few of us teachers met up with our friend Jill, who is now working at a different school. We had a nice time eating Mexican and just having girl talk. Meanwhile, Jason had the men over for a NCAA football tournament on the PlayStation. Oh yeah, did I mention there were kids involved? I would have LOVED to be a fly on the wall to see those boys trying to juggle football with screaming toddlers!

Saturday morning was when it started getting crazy. My aunt borrowed Jason's truck to go shopping with mom. Well, she accidentally drove to my parent's house, 30 miles away, with Jason's emergency brake on. Let's just say a fire extinguisher was involved. Bless Aunt Dianne's heart! As you can imagine, Jason was freaking out! The truck will be fine. However, he is now driving my Saturn from UGA days.

So after worrying about that all day, we went to eat with the Durr's. As I am getting Emme out of the car, I notice Jason's wallet was on top of the roof. Seriously! He had put it on the car earlier in the day. As we were both commenting on how lucky he was, his face turned white. He realized that his Blackberry was on the roof as well. Jason looked for that thing forever! Just picture his friend Joseph driving on one side of the road and Jason walking on the other with a flashlight. No luck. It is the phone his firm gave him, and he receives all work related stuff on it. So now he has had his truck and Blackberry to worry about it.

This will be my first full week with students. I have one pretty rough class, but two good ones. It all evens out. Let's hope Emme has another good week at school. She has been a riot this weekend! We went over to some friends' house tonight for dinner. We were watching gymnastics on TV, so Emme kept trying to imitate all the moves and running around the house during the floor routines. She was cracking me up!! I don't think I have ever seen her so hyper. Maybe she was excited because her MeMe and PawPaw bought her some new shoes today. She is just so girly and loved getting to try on all different types of shoes. A shoe store to Emme is heaven! We were all shocked to learn that she needed a size seven shoe!! To be as petite as she is, Emme has big feet. Her new white Keds really stood out on those skinny legs :)

Sorry so much writing and no pictures. No time for a camera when you are coaching the next Olympic gold medalist! I hope everyone has a great week!!

Bran,
So sorry to hear about Jason's truck and Blackberry. That stinks! Well hopefully the firm will get him a new one...did he have insurance on it?

Too bad you didn't get any pic of little miss Emme imitating the gymnastics moves, I would have LOVED to that :)

Hope you have a good week at school and Emme has a healthy week at her new school!

Hi Bran,
Poor Jason! I heard about the Blackberry but Dennis neglected to tell me about the truck.
Good luck with your students, I know you will do a great job!

Give my Little Gymnast a kiss

Love T

Tell me. . I can see Jason asking you if the firm would think that he sold the phone in order to rip them off. . .ha ha. . . or . . is he gonna try to buy one with his own money instead of telling "da boss" the truth. . . i know he went through about 23 different versions of the story to tell the firm. . and probably practiced all of them on you. . .
