1. Last week got even crazier! We had not only the suicide but a couple of other very serious issues to deal with at work. As fate would have it, I was the only neuropsych person at TLC to deal with everything. It was unbelievable. I even worked on Friday, which is usually my day off, as well as on Saturday. Saturday was actually a planned training with a neuropsychologist consultant we brought in from Phoenix. It was an exceptionally hard week, and I really needed more than a one-day weekend to recoup.
2. Fortunately, my neuropsych colleague is back this week, and we are picking up the pieces from last week and I'm trying to play catch-up on all the reports that I didn't write last week because I was busy ensuring people weren't going to kill themselves.
3. It was also a crazy week at home! We had at least one showing every single day last week, more on several days. Then the open house was on Sunday. I was fielding calls from realtors to give permission to show the house in the midst of #1.
4. We have very promising news on the house sale! I'm not going to give more specifics because I don't want to jinx anything!
5. Rebecca has some new knock-knock joke material. She delivers the punch line so perfectly with one of them. As funny as it is, however, she thinks it is even funnier if she tells the same joke repeatedly to the same person.
6. Rebecca watched about an hour's worth of a History Channel special on Judas. She is still asking us questions about why Judas betrayed Jesus for some money. On Palm Sunday, she explained to us that it was Palm Sunday, because that was the day that Jesus rode a donkey into Jee-loo-sa-lem and people waved palm trees at him.
7. Right now, gift-giving is so important to Rebecca. In the last few days, she has made me several necklaces that are strung with large multi-colored beads and letter blocks which spell non-English words. She presented two of them to me as we went out to dinner on Saturday night. What's a mom to do? Of course, I wore them proudly. As we checked in, I noticed the hostess staring at my necklace. Then the person who sat us was trying to surruptitiously see if the letters spelled something. There were furtive glances from the waiter also. I'm sure they were just jealous.
8. Our sweet niece Jessica heads off to Washington, D.C. and New York City on Sunday for her 8th grade class trip. Please pray that she has a safe trip and a fun time away from home.
9. Also please pray for a little boy from my hometown named Curt. He was struck by a vehicle while riding his bicycle and is critically injured with a traumatic brain injury.
10. I had good intentions of doing an Easter card and mailing it out. Yeah, didn't happen. Maybe I will be able to get an Easter e-card. Maybe. We'll see how the rest of this week goes!
