Reality Hits Hard

Emerald Downs Race Track in Auburn, WA

It was the first day of a 5 day work week. The first 5 day work week in almost a month for me and a few others. I got up really early this morning at 5 am. I had plenty of time. I think that I will make sure that I get up at 5 am very day which is a half of an hour earlier than what I was getting up. It seems that I need the extra time to really get a good start to the day and get the boys out the door with less time limitations and stress.

I was in the office today but the next three days I will be mostly out of the office. Tomorrow I play a part in being a judge in DECA competitions for high schools at a place called Emerald Downs. The picture of the front of Emerald Downs is above. It is a leadership competition for business students.

Edgewater Hotel in Seattle

Aaron had his homecoming at the Edgewater Hotel on the Seattle waterfront. He said that they didn't end up taking a carriage ride or going to the Cheesecake Factory. The hotel's food was better than they first thought and the dessert was... guess... cheesecake. They discovered that the carriage rides close at 10pm and they stayed longer at the event at the hotel longer. They did go to a friends house afterwards and played the oh so popular Apples to Apples game (that I bought yesterday).

It is 9 pm and I am soon off the bed. I will probably read before I go to sleep since that is one of the things that I want to do more of this year. Have a good evening yourself and a great day tomorrow.
