I hate to say it, but...what a week - again! Every day this week, I had something going after work, except Friday. I have a list of things I want to get done this weekend, but I think I have more list than time. I did go to Alli's baseball game this week, and AJ's soccer game. Alli seemed to have fun today - not as much as last week, from what I hear though. AJ's game was better this week. They still lost, but they played together as a team this week, and were just out-played. AJ played the entire game - which he was pretty proud to point out to me after the game. When I mentioned that their team did not have any "extra" players for subs today, and he had to play, he decided that he didn't really want to think of it that way!

As I type this, AJ is at his first prom! As a favor, he took Alli's daycare provider's daughter Marie to the Enterprise High School Junior Prom. He looked so handsome and grown up! So did Marie! Since AJ was taking Marie as a favor for Sandy, they paid all of his expenses - a rented tux, the tickets, the pictures, everything. All I had to do was pick them up, do some pictures at home and drive them (since I had the newest car) to the prom. I talked Sandy into driving out to the prom with me to drop them off. AJ is such a sweetie! On the way in to pick up Marie, I told him he looked very handsome and I was proud of him, and he really didn't know why. To him, it was no big deal to escort Marie to the prom, even though he really didn't want to dance or anything. Marie is autistic, and attends "special ed" classes at the high school. She had no date for the prom, but AJ was very agreeable to escort her - what a guy! Of course, I ran through all the do's and don't's for the last two weeks with him. Maturity wise, Marie is around 8 or 9 - not old enough to leave alone for very long. He is supposed to be watching her like a hawk to keep her out of trouble!
