The Monday UPDATE ...



Last week was really quite busy ...
  • Puppy stuff (at least he has started to sleep through the night ... waking at 6am each day)
  • Easter prep
  • Holy week and the various lovely masses (The VIGIL was just beautiful ... always brings tears)
  • Church dinner (I love that my parish is so family oriented and filled with active members)
  • Play practice (thankfully the production is later this week)
  • Swim practice
  • orthodontist (I now have 4 rubberbands in my mouth and hopefully only 6 more months of braces)
  • oral surgeon (everything is healing as it should and I can NOW EAT FOOD ... WOO HOO!)
On the schedule this week is lots of ...
  • laundry
  • grocery shopping
  • driving to and fro
  • twine rosary making (I still need to complete some more for my students)
  • lesson planning for Sunday school ... only 2 more weeks until the school year ends
  • birthday party planning (?) for a particular 8 year old about to turn 9
  • Confirmation prep for my oldest
  • sand, paint, and replace hardware for front door (this weekend)
  • mulch yard (this weekend)
  • work on the backyard raised vegetable planters (the husband and daughter made one already and still have one more to make) ... involves, leveling ground, rocks, and dirt placement.
I GUESS THIS MAY JUST BE ANOTHER BUSY WEEK ...

that may just carry into ...

I would love to see pictures of your garden project. I made my husband read The Pioneer Woman's blog entry about garden boxes...LOL! We would love to have one although our back yard is kind of slopy where I would want it. I wonder how yard it is to build one into the side of a small hill??? And I don't know what our association rules about garden boxes. Our backyard is visible from the parkway so if we do one, I am sure it will have to look pretty for it to be approved. ;)

And you say I am busy. I have not yet got back to my normal life, but I hope to soon. So glad you are doing well. Thank for the post on my blog. The doctor did say the longer one is under anesthesia, the longer the healing from it. I guess 8 hours is a long time. Blessings to you!!!

Wow, what a list! That's a lot of stuff to accomplish, the birthday party alone will be stressful enough already. Good luck!

Elaine, I'm just exhausted reading your list -- but I'm so glad you can eat solid food and you're healing is coming along. God is good.

Hugs to you and your beautiful family!

And Happy Belated Easter!

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!
