Fridays just feel different then the other days feel.  Especially when the weekend is pretty open and the only things planned are things that I really enjoy, like family, church and a BYU ball game.  And what makes it even better is that this week finally turned out much better then I thought that it would about Tuesday and Wednesday.  I was going to carry on writing in this vein but Sheila just came down with her phone in her hand.
 She said she had just received the following texts from Sharon: "In emergency room, Zac knocked his tooth out  He ran in to the garbage can  it laid him out flat.  I'm at IHC on state  I think we'll be okay  (it's) just one more thing!"  Sheila said to write something good like we hope he's doing fine and he'll have a story to tell come Sunday night.  Me--I can't help but seeing in my mind the pictures of Sharolyn on my office wall and of course all through our family pictures when she was without one of her front teeth for a long, long time. Sheila reminded me that she fell off the swing set.  It was such a long time ago that we can hardly remember it. But it was a baby tooth and we just waited for 2-3-4 years before it grew back.  I can see Zac sprawled out on his back.  It will be kind of funny to look back on some day.  Maybe not yet, but someday.

Anyway, I feel like I'm on vacation now.  My work week is over.  I don't have to do any office work tomorrow (although I probably will do some).  Maybe my challenge will be to do something fun with Sheila or find something productive for me to do.  I have been quite busy this past five days and I could say that I worked hard.  I could have done more and I know I can't let too much time go by not doing anything.  I wish I could sometimes, but I've worked long and hard to develop that work ethic and I believe it is a good thing.   But I can take time away from work, I just can't take time away from doing something even if it is only pondering.  And sometimes I find that pondering is the hardest work of all. Right now I desire a cold bottle of water and I will sit with my wife and watch whatever she wants to watch on TV at 9:00 p..m on this Friday night.
