The Rejuvenated Tractor
Good morning! Michelle came with me to Golds Gym for the morning Step and abs class. As I anticipated, she kicked my butt with her energy. This antibiotic I'm on leaves me just a bit queasy in my gut and not wanting to push it nearer my limit.
Abby is away on a baby sitting job today. Claire will be joining her friends for an Ultimate Frisbee competition at Keyes Field. Michelle and I will be taking the boys for lunch, perhaps at Amigos.
Having lunch with Michelle and the boys at Amigos.
After lunch I offered up a set of Luminous Mysteries and then took a quick nap. When I got up, Claire and I worked on the lawn. It was nice to give Michelle a break from lawn work. And the tractor performed like new with its recent tuneup. No hesitation or sputtering. But it was a sweat-fest outside. Michelle grilled up some awesome burgers for dinner.
My kids favorite parody video of the week: Harry Potter in the Real World - via Disney's So Random!
The kids are watching sitcoms. I'm about to watch Of Gods and Men via Netflix DVD.
I stopped the movie about half way through it. It's over two hours long. I hadn't given thought to how I'd feel. Last night I saw priests murdered during the Spanish Civil War in the movie There Be Dragons. And now this movie has monks in Algeria who are taken captive by Islamic fundamentalists. It's too much persecution of men who've consecrated their lives to love and service. Perhaps I can finish it tomorrow. I got the boys tucked in bed with their prayers. The girls serve 7 o'clock Mass tomorrow.
