Looking at my calendar for the week

I notice that there is nothing more than school, basketball practice, and swim team.

Somehow that just doesn't seem right. Already today I felt like I had to be somewhere else ... school function, appointments, meeting ... something.

I'm so thankful for this working computer and my great little calendar. I know that my head is attached to my body (or so it looks to be), but I really do need to be reminded by those pop ups on my computer.

*Not officially on my go to place for the week (not sure why it wasn't put there) is today's HOLY DAY OF OBLIGATION. I will head to mass at noon for the Feast of Immaculate Conception. This day is one that some people (even myself at one time) get confused. It is not the celebration of the conception of Christ. That seems rather silly since in just 17 days, we have CHRISTMAS. NO, today is actually the celebration of the conception of MARY in the womb of Saint Anne. So CATHOLICS ... go to mass ;)

**ALSO, since I just happened to find this site while writing this, I thought I would share ...

You are so organized! I broke down and finally got myself one of those little calendar books to keep in my purse. Maybe someday I will work my way up to a computer-based calendar. What a good idea!

Yes, I did buy that Christmas saying at Target. I really like it. It was really easy to apply and I hope it will be easy to get off too. We'll see. Overall, I would say it was a good buy. Thanks for your comment on my blog!

Momto5minnies meets the Pioneer Woman!

I read her blog and knew that she was coming into town for her book signing and I thought about going, but I also knew it was the day that I was getting my braces off (MONDAY 11/9). On Sunday night before, my husband made a quick trip to Walmart and brought home a flyer saying how Ree Drummond (The Pioneer Woman) was coming the next day. I'm not sure if my husband was more excited about me getting my braces off the next day or having me MEET THE PIONEER WOMAN. I guess I really did want to go, but now I HAD TO GO! Monday was a crazy day ... jitters in the am 4.6 mile run to make me feel relaxed (it was also my longest run yet) drop the 12 year old at her homeschool art class quick trip to Walmart (to see if there were Pioneer Woman cookbooks ... no luck, but my husband picked me up a few ... I'm gifting some for Christmas). home to throw a pot roast in the crockpot braces removal at 11:30am dentist visit at 1pm usual afterschool chaos of swim team home for a 30 minute rest wa...

A scattered post ...

I throw myself into stuff all the time. It can be anything from the start of a swim season, a new school year, the election, a vacation, an exercise routine etc. I'm kind of in a phase where I really don't know what my focus should be. I turned on the television and honestly, I have no idea what is on this fall season ... NO IDEA AT ALL . If I watched television in the past few months, it was something kid related or Fox News. I NEED A NEW FOCUS. My current thoughts ... reading a fictional, just for fun book stepping up my exercise routine thinking about our Christmas wish lists and shopping baking more ... I really am slacking in this area ways to save money so that we can get a new (second) washer and dryer for the upstairs (not a fancy kind because this would mostly be used by my oldest two children)... I actually have hookups. I wonder if a lot of people go through a sort of "lull" period this time of the year. Surely it doesn't last long with the start ...

Not a lot has changed ...

As a puppy he always liked a warm spot. We call Comet our "close talker" (from Seinfeld) because he is in your face and always a little too close for our comfort level. The girls don't seem to mind, but it can be a little annoying for my husband and I. Really, he is a fabulous dog. He listens well and is so gentle with everyone. *We don't let Comet on furniture ... except for the playroom/schoolroom couch. There he enjoys relaxing and being read to by one of the girls. SPOILED POOCH!
