I Find this Hard to Believe

Mano and I donated blood yesterday at church and my non-fasting cholesterol level came up to be 162. It has not been that low since I was training at the Academy and doing all that jogging and had put on 8 lbs. of muscle. Seriously, I have a history of cholesterol levels usually being near the 220's for many years! So I'm viewing this low number with a skeptical eye. Especially since Mano had made delicious, decadent french toast for the household earlier that morning! How can this be?

Poor S is at home sick right now, again afflicted with that stomach bug that we both had earlier in the summer. Now let's see if this time I can avoid it altogether. He got sick late last night after we dropped the baby off. She was not very well-behaved this weekend, and by that I mean we had incidents on Friday night and on Saturday night. In fact, on Saturday night, S and Mano went to the movies and I was in charge of bedtime duties. The baby ticked me off so bad that even though she had been napping from about 4:30pm-8pm, I made her go back to bed at around 10pm and I put her little butt in her room and turned off the lights and closed the door and made it very clear she was to stay in bed until the next morning. And she did!!! She knows better than to mess with me after she has screwed up! But that's ok, b/c it shows she's learning, by God. She had the nerve to come to me yesterday and ask if she could have the sno-cone that was in the fridge. Ha, I don't think so! I reminded her of her bad behavior the night before. How quickly they forget, and how eager I am to remind them!

But otherwise we had a good family weekend. We saw The Simpsons movie on Sat. and although S and the baby could've probably either taken it or left it, I loved it! I laughed throughout and S just looked at me like I was nuts. The baby just sprawled across my lap and seemed mildly entertained.

So I'm leaving work early to go and take care of S until it's time for my date tonight with myself to go shooting. I have to qualify at the sheriff's dept. on Sunday and have not shot this gun, Esteban, in probably over a year. I stocked up on balloons yesterday at the $1 Store, as I love to blow up balloons and send them down range and shoot 'em up.
