April now! Sorry, I'm getting bad at this!

Work......come home..........go to bed........get up............go to work..........come home.........go to bed........get up...........go to work. That's just about it, through February, March and so far in April.

I was sick again in March, but did go to the doctor's. So it wasn't a two-weeker, it just lasted a week. Hope all that is over now. Since I see lots of 'sick' people at work during the day, I will probably get something again.

The temp here has been really funny. Thursday and Friday here were very warm, almost 80 degrees. Today, Sunday, the high will be about 60. I just packed up all my warmer clothes about two weeks ago too. Of course, I don't have too many clothes anyway. During the week I wear my Giant Genie shirts, so that helps on regular clothes. But there again, when I do go somewhere, I never have anything to wear. That brings me to last Wednesday, April 9Th.

I took the day off work so I could meet The Girls of 67 for lunch. You probably wonder, what on earth is that? hahahahahah Well, 'Girls' I went to high school with, meet for lunch once a month. And since we graduated in 1967, we're the Girls of 67! There were six of us on Wednesday and we all had a good time. We laughed and talked about our lives now......... I guess that would be funny. At least, my life. ha ha ha We met at about 11:45 and didn't leave until almost 3:00. It was so nice to talk to some that I don't think I ever spoke to in high school. I was so shy back then, I didn't talk to many people. I enjoyed it so much that I've already asked off on May 13Th, which is the next lunch date. So I have a life once a month. ha ha ha That's what people at work have said to me anyway.

Hey, I just thought of something that happened last Monday. We, in Charlotte, have problems with the canker worms every year. You know, the little green inch worms? Well, every spring they eat the young leaves coming out on the big trees. You can see the damage they are doing to the trees in my back yard. Anyway, Monday and Tuesday, Charlotte had little planes going all over the city with a spray to kill the little things. I got home from work Monday and Leigh and the kids were sitting in the back yard looking at the plane. No, it was on top of us, but you could see it probably over South Park. And loud? Wow! It was like in the old WWI movies of all those little planes shooting. It was funny. The planes would go North to South then South to North. Since we live close to the Pineville end of Charlotte, it didn't take too long for the plane to turn around and fly back North. But we had a long time to wait for it to turn around to come back South. It was a little yellow plane, so cute. Well, it didn't get to our house that day. But they were back out there early on Tuesday morning when I went to work. Leigh said they did our house that morning. Sorry I missed it, I wanted to hear how loud it would be going over the house. And believe me, the plane was very low!

While we waited on the plane to turn back South, I was teaching the kids I use to play when I was young. Do you remember this one? You hold hands with someone and start out walking slowly in a circle. You say, MOTOR BOAT, MOTOR BOAT, GO SO SLOW. Then walking a little faster you say, MOTOR BOAT, MOTOR BOAT, GO SO FAST! Then as you say MOTOR BOAT, MOTOR BOAT, STEP ON THE GAS! you really go fast in a circle, until someone just falls down. I did it with RyLee and go so dizzy, I couldn't do it again with Payton. Leigh had to do Payton, but then RyLee wanted to go again. Then Payton. Then RyLee. I'm glad Leigh was there because I sure wouldn't have been able to do it again. Then Leigh says, let's do the legs. So RyLee was the first ..........he was on his back and Leigh picked up his legs to swing him. I have never laughed so hard! hahahahahaahahahahahaha He was so funny looking. Picture this, Leigh has RyLee's feet and swinging him in a circle, his little arms bent at the elbows but away from his body. It looked like Leigh had a chicken by his legs and his little wings just a flapping around. Leigh started laughing so hard, she had to stop turning him. Then Payton wanted to do it that way. Same thing............. hahahahahahahahah her little 'wings' just flapping. ahhahaahahahahah It was really funny, but I guess you had to be there.

Ok, is this enough for the month of April? Yes!!!!!!
