March 15 - 21

   Monday March 15th I took the kids to school then took Roger to the vet. They drained his sore and put him on pain meds. I then went to Walmart and went to the lab to get my blood work done. After that I went to Menards to get some baskets for our closet then picked up Roger and came home to finish putting the master closet together. After school we came home and had lasagna for supper. Tuesday the kids had school and I cleaned house. I then went to town and had lunch with Mike before running more errands. That night Becca had her last basketball game and Rachel and Alec stayed home since Rachel didn't have basketball that night. 

   Wednesday the kids had school and I went to town to pick up my Thyroid meds and ran a few more errands before coming home to make cupcakes. After making the cupcakes for CCD I went to school to meet with my mentee Emma and then we had CCD. After church I dropped the kids off at home then Mike and I went to Pals to celebrate Traci's birthday.

St. Patrick's Day 2021

   Thursday the kids had school and I went to Stephanie Wiesen's and had coffee with friends. I then dropped off our taxes before going to the hospital to have an ultrasound done on my thyroid. Everything turned out normal for Hashimoto's Disease so I will continue to see a specialist and on the same medication. After school we came home and Mike and Alec went to get haircuts. Rachel then had a basketball game and Alec and Becca stayed home. 

   Friday the kids had school and I went to Walmart and Menards again. Still trying to finish the master closet. Scott came out and installed all the new doors. I love them and how the whole house looks now with new windows and doors. That night we had a movie night and just enjoyed being home.

   Saturday I finally got to sleep in since we didn't have volleyball. We did go to town for lunch with Grandma, Granddad, and Aaron. Scott came out to finish sealing the doors and windows and that night we enjoyed another movie night. Sunday we went to church and then to lunch at Margarita's with Marty, Lisa, and Sam. Rachel and Becca then came home while Mike, Alec, and I went out south to flag tanks and work on a well. Alec loves going out to help his dad on the south places and the dogs also enjoy going out for a run.

March

15 - If you went to college, tell which college you chose and why. I went to UNK because Nicky was there and my aunt Cindy lives in Kearney so I know she would be able to help if I ever needed anything.

16 - Tell your major and how you chose it. I majored in Biology with an emphasis in Environmental Health and a minor in Chemistry. I thought that I wanted to be a veterinarian so I was Pre-Vet and picked up a Chemistry minor my senior year when I didn't get into vet school.

17 - Did people wear green on St. Patrick's Day? Yes or they got pinched

18 - Do you have any other memories of St. Patrick's Day as a youth? Yes O'Neill is the Irish capital of Nebraska so when I was in Jr High and High School I always babysat for Merri and Darold Schneider's 4 kids.

19 - If you ever hitch-hiked, explain. Never have done that!

20 - What do you remember as your favorite time of year? Why? Winter, Christmas. Family and presents and helping dad in the snow.

21 - Describe some household chores you had as a child. My mom had a chart on the fridge and we all had to rotate through all the jobs: Dishes, Set and Clear the table, Laundry, Living Rooms, Downstairs. If we did our jobs we got a check mark and at the end of the week mom would give us a quarter for each check mark. If we got into trouble or talked back she would make an X and we had to pay her 50 cents for each X we had at the end of the week. If I would go outside and help dad with chores then I didn't have to do the inside chores!
