This last week was a doozy. Court week is always hard for me, but when it's in Lufkin, the back and forth is for the birds. To add to that, Phil was out of town so I had parent duty all by myself. Needless to say, I was glad for Court week to end and for Phil to be home. I've spent most of my weekend recuperating.
On the work front, I had so much faith restored in our bankruptcy system this past week. Hurricane Ike was so emotional for all of the residents of Southeast Texas who were affected by it. In our immediate area, Bridge City got the worst of it. The people who had the water in their homes have been through a lot, and the ones that were not classified flood zones and had no flood insurance, have really been through a lot. It's even affected people who work for the Court, so it's sensitive. Our trustee and Judge are in Tyler and have had no direct knowledge of the trauma. Anyway, without going into too much of a drawn out story, our Judge really championed for a family severely affected by Hurricane Ike and appeared none to happy with our trustee who argued an extremely insensitive position (at least in my opinion). It was very emotional. The Judge's staff cried throughout the hearing, the Debtor on the witness stand cried throughout the hearing, and it certainly affected me (and they weren't my clients...I was just an observer). I have not felt that much emotion in a hearing in my entire 10 years of practice, nor have I ever left a hearing feeling more proud of the job that I do.
On the home front, Phil is continuing to work in the yard. We've gotten the curtains hung in our bedroom and still need a piece of art and a mirror for our bedroom. We are having an ongoing argument regarding blinds versus roman shade versus a sheer. I have to figure all that out this week.
On the kiddo front, Britton is running for student council treasurer. We've been making posters, cards and helping with speeches.
On the family front, we went to see my dad's group Saturday night. They have a new keyboardist and vocalist. Really good. We totally enjoyed that.
On the scrappy front, I got a little scrappy time this weekend. Here's some recently completed layouts

On the pet front, anyone that knows me, knows that my little Annabelle LOVES me. She loves to be right where I am. While I was scrapping Saturday, she was sitting under my chair, with just her head sticking out. When Phil and Britton came home, this is the photo he snapped...thought it was cute.
Have a great week!
