Dill's Insane Weekend
Dill doesn't blog, so I am going to recap his weekend for him. As most of you know, Dill is going on a Chartered Bus to Talladega, Alabama today for the NASCAR race. His friend works for Citigroup and takes a different group of NY analysts each year to the race. Obviously, none of them have gone before or even been to Alabama for that matter. Except for Dill and his friend of course. So his weekend started on Thursday when he and his buddy went to Walmart get the alchohol for the trip. Yes, what is a trip to NASCAR without a pre-trip to a Walmart. There are 12 people going and they picked up 10 cases of beer. Dill, beginning to feel a little frightening, asked quitely if he thought they should get some water for the bus as well. His friend then grabbed 6 child size bottles of water and said this should be enough! So Friday comes and they take the analysts out for dinner and to the bars. He arrived home at 3 am with Zingo in tow. If you don't know, Zingo is a service who will take you home in your own car if you have too much to drink. They throw their moped in the trunk and leave your house on it. Great idea. So poor Pookie Bear then had to wake up 5 hours later for our neighborhood clean up day. That is where all the husbands have to clean the neighborhood. Prep the pool, garden etc to get ready for the pool opening. This is not optional attendance, trust me. Straight to the T-Ball game from there. Then, comes the big day, race day. The race is at 2 today and the track is 1 1/2 hours away. Well, the bus picked him up at 6:30 am this morning. This is so they can get drinking early and tailgate. I rarely see Dill frightened, but I think he may have been. He drank about 40 glasses of water before bed last night in hopes of helping him out today. I am terribly jelous of todays activities!!! The race part at least. I on the other hand have had a more mellow weekend. Went out with a friend and all of our kids on Friday night, 5 under the age of 6. We went and sat outside and they had a little 2 man band and the kids all dance for hours. So cute. Mary Rowe says she can shake her tail feathers and Baker really rocks out. Gets it from his Daddy. Yesterday, just like the 3 days prior, we gardened all day. I have planted the huge front area in front of our house that used to just be pinestraw. It is unbelievable. I have a party at our house on Tuesday night for the year end of my Children's Healthcare of Atlanta Group. We take the summer off, so I have everyone coming. Good excuse to clean up. This morning, the kids and I are hitting church and are just going to watch the race. Baker has raised $360 so far for his CF walk so please pledge. Baker will be walking the entire way and will be writing thank you notes himself to all donors.The walk is over Mother's Day weekend. Lucille, thanks for your contribution and for asking. So thats whats going on here. Love to all.
