Overbooked is the word of the week.
On Tuesday night, Hubby and I went to a Cake concert. I used to listen to Cake in high school and then later on in college too. I love their song, Short Skirt/Long Jacket. They gave away a peach tree, and we were vying for it, but unfortunately didn't see the peaches until after some guy named Russell pointed out they were there! He won the tree, needless to say. Hubby and I had one drink. His Achilles tendon was knocked into several times. He wasn't the only one with crutches, and we met some fellow parents sitting right next to us, enjoying their wedding anniversary. Overall, it was an enjoyable night.
Here's a photo of Cake. Hubby took this when the mass onslaught of people rushed up to the stage during the Encore. The rest of the time the MPAC (Montgomery Performing Arts Center) security reined down on people like Nazis, threatening to kick them out for taking photos and for dancing in the aisles. Dancing in the aisles is a fire hazard, you know?
He still sang as well as he did in the 90s. I've seen some older musicians before, and honestly, sometimes they are not nearly as good as they used to be. Not the case with Cake. And, we were happy Montgomery finally has some good live musicians coming. This has been a long time coming.
On Wednesday, we had more of a down day. I was so tired from the concert the night before. We came home to celebrate Son Number Two's birthday. He had a great time, and he loved his cake. Not Cake the band, just plain chocolate cake with butter cream icing. Oh, and Cake the band derived their name from "caked on" not from cake the food (Just a little tidbit of trivia for you!).
Here's a little video of the kids on Son Number Two's birthday. Darling Daughter was singing his birthday song to him. I thought it was so sweet. Her vocabulary is starting to explode, thanks to the fact she can finally hear after receiving tubes (long overdo in my opinion!).
Yesterday I went to work, and I thought I would barely make it through. I had some projects to work on, but I have a kidney stone right now trying to work it's way out of my body and it is never pleasant. I was in a lot of pain yesterday afternoon, but I think I finally passed the darn thing. I love genetics! I always end up having the strangest ailments.
After work, we had awards for taekwondo (TKD). I earned my third level green belt. I'm so excited. I'm making progress. My goal is to, eventually, earn my black belt. I was excited to see all my TKD buddies move up in rank. We also had several students earn their black belts last night, including some Junior students, and their parents made great speeches about them, which was so inspirational.
Afterwards, the fun night continued at Jalapenos for some Mexican food and fun. I spoke Spanish to the waiters, and they loved it. I've been trying to dig my Spanish out of the recessed of my brain recently. I find I can understand almost anything people speak to me, but speaking back is harder (and we all know in English I don't have a problem with that!).
With TKD testing and Awards, TKD has been closed and my exercise has gone down to non-existent. Hubby emphasizes the fact I danced on Tuesday night! Not the same. I'm excited to get back in my TKD groove on Saturday. I need the exercise, as I feel it helps me with the little stresses of the day. I also think it helps me feel less tired normally. I don't have a whole lot of natural energy, because a) I have three little kids, b) I have a jam packed schedule, and c) I don't always sleep a ton! I feel TKD helps with that.
This weekend, the activities continue. I think on Sunday, I will just fall into bed and be so glad the week is over and look back and wonder how we ever made it through!
