And Now, The End...

And now for the exciting conculsion-
As I had lasted stated, I was presenting and having a hard time focusing on my presentation. (Not shocking if you if you know me at all). kept thinking that this can't be happening. I have been SO careful all summer to avoid this very problem.
I know that it is WAY past time for the USPS man to be there and my heart was sinking more every minute. I got the participants working on lesson and turned around to move back to the front of the room. And, dear readers, is the best part. My wife walked through the door, set a Priority Mail box on the counter, smiled, and walked out.

Now, this is the moment that the angels sing and the light appears and all is well.
I was able to finish my presentation and handout the items to the participants, with out them even knowing how close they came to not even getting anything. We loaded up and headed home.

Home. What a nice place. We arrived before 6:30pm which NEVER happens becuase we are usually in Salt Lake. We were able to water the yard AND go visit my parents.

We are getting overrun with mosquitos and gnats at this point in the summer. It is SO frustrating as the county doesn't come and spray as often as they should. My poor kids are covered in bites all the time.

So there is the end of my story. Yes, I know, I need to tell about my daughter and the blue bead. And I will, just not right now...

Later...

Finally, A Day Of My Own

Ahhh,
That is the word of the day today. I have had a relaxing and enjoyable day. I made it to my tutoring gig around 9am. Found out that I am going to be tutoring in a lot more than just math! I spent about 1.5 hours getting him set up with assignments and will be returning again tomorrow to check his work and set him up with more work. Then I was able to work in the yard, help my mom make an invitation for her counsins reunion, and went shopping. Now I am sitting here trying to think of something to tell that will entertain you.

Well, I really can't. So I know that this is a short, boring post, but I wanted to check-in with everyone today.

Oh, I guess I could tell you that I got an e-mail for the CORE Academy asking me to teach the presentation before mine in Logan. I told them that I really didn't want to teach for 5 hours straight. So I would rather not. I haven't heard back, so I assume that they know I am not doing it. They tried to use the "You owe us one since we didn't get mad about the books and dice you forgot".

Speaking of which, I guess I do have an entertaining story to share. I last left you with the knowledge that my books had been shipped, and that they were in Spanish Fork. At least that is what the confirmation results showed. I even called the post office, but they were of little help (which is kind of typical of most post offices). I got to the school and Ami, the assistant was on her phone outside. She told me they hadn't shown up yet. I went ahead and set up for my presentation. Had lunch with Allisha and the kids. Still no box. I went and talked to the school office staff. They said the mail is rarely later than 1:30. My presentations start at 1:20. I just know that with my luck the post truck will go up in flames and my items will be lost forever. Right on the dot at 1:20 I start my presentation. I had told my wife if they came to count out the number I needed and bring them in to me. I kept looking at my watch. it was 1:35 and still no wife or box. I am starting to get VERY worried, almost to the point of NOT being able to focus super well on my presentation.

To Be Continued...
