I got back to Texas this week after spending a long weekend in Tallahassee, FL (thanks mom for setting it up!) visiting my boys who still live there. After my plane got to Tally we hung out for a little bit and went out to eat at some new restaurant in the city. Then me, Brice, David, and our other friend Crispy (real name Chris) went to a couple of bars in order to try to increase the guest list for the party we were having at David's house the next day. Needless to say we all channeled our "Mingle Mixx" side and ended up meeting a bunch of people to invite to the party. It was awesome. Later on, after we got back to the house, I showed all the guys Gabe and Shirin's DVD they made me of funny internet videos. They friggin' loved it. Good job Modaresi-Beal's!
The next night we had the party and had a truly great time. I won't give any details but ya gotta believe that any night that allows me to both bartend for the party AND give 3am jiu-jitsu lessons is a good night.
The rest of the weekend was pretty relaxing...I hung out around the house and played Rock Band with the guys and called up some old friends of mine that I hadn't seen in a while. I ended up leaving Tally late on Monday night.
When I got back to Austin I was pretty rested up...and good thing. On my first day back to work I already had two new cases waiting for me and during the week I got two more. I also had a huge family team meeting to help facilitate because one of the kids on my caseload was in the juvenile mental institution and needed a serious plan of action before the weekend started. Geez.
So we're supposed to try to close as many cases as we get in order to keep our caseloads even (or like I'm trying to do - close more than I get so I don't have a million families to deal with). Well, I got four cases this week and closed one. It's not looking good people. My supervisor says that you just have to ride out some of these busy weeks and then close a lot of cases on a slow week. We'll see if that philosophy works out for me...

Long weekends with friends are the best! Glad they liked the video...Gabriel will be happy.
My sister says that if she ever takes time off from her job (a non-profit position similar to your job in some ways), her work has just PILED up by the time she gets back. I guess people in need wait for no man...or woman.
Let's hope for a slow week!
