Dec 2nd recap

5:00 – another early a.m. since there is much to do and only 1/2 a day to do it.

*work on school work that needs to be finished by Monday

*clean up the house and get ready for the week

*work on Christmas cards and blog

*get ready for church

*leave by 2:00

*drop Em off at a friend’s house and they will take her to the party since I will be at church and can’t take her

*play at church and leave right after the music

*Tim and Josh go to a game with friends

*Nathan stayed at grandma’s so he wouldn’t have to stay in town all afternoon and evening

*I go shopping to pick things up at the mall since I don’t have any kids with me

*I made it to 8 stores and only forgot one thing – however, it was the MAIN thing I was going shopping for and the only reason I initially went to the West end… sigh…. maybe I’ll remember the next time I go out there… doubtful though, can’t make a list or the kids will find it

*get home at 10:00 just a few minutes before the boys get home. Girls are both elsewhere tonight.

*in bed by midnight… realize I won’t be going to group tomorrow with this little sleep and so much left to do before Monday.

What a busy day!

It’s hard having to decide what has to be dropped and then face the fall-out from those decisions, isn’t it?

It’s my last weekend “off” until Christmas and anything that doesn’t get done by the end of this weekend will most likely not be done by Christmas. Plus, ds has been wanting a friend to stay the night for several weeks and this is the only weekend it will work.

DINNER

This is a fairly typical dinner for me.  A serving of meat which in this case was grilled hamburger.  Sometimes a slice of cheese, but not always.  At least two veggies and sometimes three!  No ketchup.  No bun.  No yummy homemade hamburger relish.  Just a little bit of spicy mustard …
