The dr prescribed Lexapro for Vince. We should notice a difference in about 10 days. He will kill me if he knew I put this out here. I might have to just delete these entries. But it is our life and nothing to be ashamed of. I still swear this all stems from that Avelox he was on in 2004. I think they have a class action lawsuit against them, but I think it is for causing diabetes and not depression, etc. Anyhoo. I went and picked it up after work Friday. He went to a prayer meeting with a friend. Marcy took the kids to Bible Study and I met them all there.

Saturday: I worked all day. Vince had to work 4 hours. The kids stayed with Marcy. She had to take them with her to the church to clean, but it all worked out. Vince picked them up there. Well, he got there and they stayed another 2 to 3 hours! lol! When they left there, they went and got something to eat at Twist N Shake. Then they went home and finished packing. I booked us a motel in Plainfield for the night. They met me at the Road Ranger in Brazil. We left the Jeep there and headed to Plainfield. Once we got there, we checked in and then went to Chick-Fil-A. Good food, good atmosphere and the kids got to play for a little while. We stopped by Dick's Sporting Good in Metropolis (their outdoor mall). They had roller blades, but not in Vince's size. They were on sale for $80. I could have gotten a pair, but I would be just as happy with a $20 pair from Wal-Mart to start out with. We left there and went back to the motel and got the kids bathed and went to bed.

Sunday: I got us a wake-up call for 7:30. I could have let us sleep another 1/2 or so. Oh well. Vince and I got up and showered then we headed to the lobby for breakfast. William had fruit loops, milk and a banana. Grace had 2 hard boiled eggs and milk. I had a bagel with cream cheese and a Belgian waffle (that I only ate 1/2 of). Vince had some sort of donut. After we ate, we went back to our room and I realized that we had an hour before we had to leave. William played his gameboy, Grace played drama queen and Vince watched tv. I made sure all of our stuff was in the suitcase and then laid down on the bed. I would have went back to sleep had it been quiet.

We left the motel around 9:15 or so and headed to the church. We got there about 15 after. We had to sit on the front row because that was the only place left for 6 people. The first thing they did was Delaney's baptism. I wound up standing the back with the big lens on my camera and attempted to get some pictures of her. I think less than 1/2 turned out very well. Jennifer on the other hand was right there hidden behind the wall and got some great shots of her. I guess the water was REALLY cold. The heater kicked off in the middle of the night. It takes 12 hours to heat it back up. Poor Delaney was freezing. She recited a memory verse (more like verses). And then said that Jesus is her Saviour. It was Awesome to say the least. They then had a musical that was really good. And lastly the Pastor gave a sermon titled: Because He Lives!. Pretty good memory, eh? Not really, it's all in their bulletin that I brought home with me. =)

After church was over, we headed to Spence's house where Jennifer had prepared an AWESOME dinner for us. I mean it was awesome. My favorite? The dump cake we had for dessert! It was HOT out of the oven. Yum. The rest of it was very good too. Ham, hash brown casserole, Jennifer's baked beans as I call them, green bean casserole, rolls and shells N cheese. We even had a yellow cake with white icing that was in the shape of a Cross to commemorate Delaney's baptism. Way cool. While the food was heating up, Vince and Graham hid Easter eggs in the back yard. Once those were hidden, the kids went out and hunted them down with amazing sleuth-like abilities. After they were done, we took them inside and divided them up so they all had an equal amount. Grace found 20, Delaney, 21 and William, 28. The twins, they were sleeping. After dinner, we all sat around and talked while the kids played. We put most of the dishes in the dish washer and then just sat around. We did get pictures of the kids together before dinner (before the twins laid down for their nap).

We finally headed home a little after 4. We were home long enough to change clothes (Grace changed hers twice) and get the kids peanut butter and butter sandwiches and then we headed to church. Alter Addicts and Soul Fire were performing so I got to sit in the service AGAIN! Whoo HOOO! My secret sister left me a package. I got a new notebook that is a pale blue and says Dream on it, a set of pens, CHOCOLATE!, juicy fruit gum, body wash, lotion and a spray mist. (do I stink? LOL!) Alter Addicts played quite a few songs and Soul Fire did a few skits. I think William said they only did 3. We stayed and ate afterward. We didn't get to bed until after 11. Grace slept with us (which is odd...she hates our room).

Monday: Not much to report about so far today. Aunt Stella emailed me that Grace has some bites on her leg. Marcy thinks it's from Spence's dog. It could also be spider bites. Odd thing is...the rest of us don't have them. I emailed William's teach to see if they have had any luck finding his glasses case and to let her know that he is to go to daycare today.

So that's it for now!

4/17/07 I came back to correct a spelling error and re-read the post. Interesting how I left out how my kids were treated while in Plainfield. Hm. Self-censorship. I probably do this often for fear of them actually READING my blog. Although I only know of 2 family members and 1 friend who have ever read it. Maybe I should stop censoring myself. Maybe I should stop fearing confrontation and say what I think like out loud to people and things would change. LOL! Whatever. Vince HAS and it doesn't work.
