Monday

It was not a terrible Monday. I went into the Charlotte office this morning to meet with some people, and come to find out that the people are already really busy (even after I booked time and they accepted it), and it turns out that what was supposed to be a whole day in the office, I got about 30 minutes with them. So, I left and came home to work remote the rest of the day. Waste of a trip to Charlotte office, but it is what it is. Got home and did some work, had lunch and then finished the day. My daughter Kara actually cooked dinner this evening. I tend to kid her on cooking ability but she said she has been cooking stuff at college, so I said, cook something and I will buy the groceries. She made dinner this evening. Chicken Alfredo. It was really good. However she left a pretty big mess. In our house, typically if you cook, then you don't clean... so I was left with a mess to clean up. Food was good, but not sure it was worth my clean up time. But I am proud of her. Proud of all my children. 

Lexi had a disappointing day yesterday. She and her friends (both boys and girls) have been planning Grad Week (basically spring break), and she was going to be going to the beach with this group. Well somehow the word got back to her that most of the kids are just looking to go down to the beach to drink (adult beverages) and we told her that it would not be acceptable. We are not naïve and so I am sure there will be some drinking, but the original plan was for them to do stuff while down there as well. I guess that is not the plan now, and Lexi decided that she is not going and she is bummed. I am proud of her for the decision but I know that sucks for her. She was looking forward to hanging with all her friends, but she is on scholarship at Limestone and if anything stupid happens it could ruin her college scholarship eligibility. She is being smart, but I am still sad for her. Good decision but still bad outcome. Not sure what she going to do. We will see... there could still be changed plans. 

Nate had a good day. Good day at school. We did our exercises. Did some outside except we ran out so daylight. All good.

Keep moving!!!!
