I danced Fancy Shawl at the powwow on Thursday and Friday.
Corky did long jump and triple jump at the track meet in San Antonio Saturday, and the shot put and discus rings were across the stadium parking lot, across a footbridge that went over the highway, down some stairs that went down the hill from the footbridge and across a field to get to the ring area. Dadgum!

TIHA

Going to work on grass dance for TIHA today - most of that SHOULD be done and I am also finding EVERYTHING I need for a jingle dress for me is DONE I just need to string jingles. I have already sewn the dress and have all the lids and bias tape. This year, I'm going to jingle dance because I am going to make those boys string jingles for me!!!!!!!!!!

Had to email the Jonathan Edwards sermon/piece to Jesse- I hope he gets it. He has a test tonight. I also have to make him start on his essay and get the outline finished tonight so that he can write the draft tomorrow. That way I can type the final draft on Thursday and he can email it to his teacher or whatever before class on Thursday, since we will be at the powwow. House is still dirty - well, messy - We have to get all this TIHA stuff finished so that we can get the trailer cleaned out TOO!!!!!!!!!!!

I might have some energy if there weren't so many people in this house! I spent last week getting the website stuff done for Jesse's college class. I have been driving him to work and driving the kids to track every morning. Picking up the kids at 10 then taking lunch to Jesse at 12. Then I pick up Jesse at 4:30 and take the boys to weight workout at 6pm on MWF - I take the boys to 7on7 football on TTh at 4pm, pick them up at 6pm and drop Jesse off at 6pm for class.
On top of this - this week I am sewing for TIHA....God bless Justin, I love him, but every time we have a powwow he wants a complete total new outfit. I STILL don't have a jingle dress, and I still don't have a set done forJesse . Today I am sewing a vest for his traditional set. Tomorrow I will be making cuffs for his grass dance (and I assume I will be finding a way to decorate his new sneakers that he bought to turn into grass dance moccasins.
On the up side - The house isn't too dirty because I made Corky clean it since he refuses to do any TIHA regalia! BUT I have Randy and Landon coming to me every hour or so trying to get rid of popups on their computers (DUH quit downloading CRAP and you won't have this problem!!!!)
OK, rant over.
Going to get started on that vest! I guess if I get the chance to do any workout at all I can come back and edit later. I am eating better...we'll see what that does for me!

Update: 5pm and still don't have all the TIHA stuff loaded and packed.
