Hello –
Not really feeling like being at work today. Have a number of things I should get done at home. I am making a list of things I want to accomplish over my Christmas vacation around the house. My list is growing and growing.
I am just finishing up my lunch and then it is back to work. I spent most of my lunch hour making my shopping list for the baking and candy making I want to do this weekend. Friday is payday, so should be able to swing that.
Tonight should be very busy. Paul was planning on going to a temporary employment place and get a temp job until something better comes along. So I hope he was able to do that today. Then he needs to pick up Erik after school to bring him down to our church for Christmas pageant practice. We have Families First tonight and then we have an informational meeting at 8:15 for Josh’s mission trip to Florida he wants to go on. So we will be busy all night, but hopefully will be home by 9:00.
The children’s minister called me last night to assist with the Advent party on Thursday night, but can’t as we have Josh’s school conferences. I wish I would have been able to help. It would have been fun. Erik has the last of his testing at Fraser tomorrow as well so I have to take some time off of work for that.
I have been really trying to enjoy life lately. Only live once right?? I look at my mom and finally see her enjoying life at retirement. I want to enjoy my entire life and not wait until retirement to get together with girlfriends, etc. SO that is what I am doing. I have a cookie exchange scheduled for December 15th with girlfriends and neighbors. In January I am schedule to have some girlfriends over and watch a couple DVD’s of Sex in the Cities and have drinks. I need to make time for friends……..otherwise my life is pretty balanced between my passions and family.
Hope everyone is having a great week so far! Well time to get back to work…later!
What a great blog! It is so easy to get caught up in things and not enjoy life. Have a great week!
I planned an afternoon’s shopping with a friend when I visited her family a little while ago. We met on the first day at a new school at the tender age of 11 (too many years ago to contemplate! *lol*) and have kept in close touch ever since.
Unfortunately, she mentioned it to her thirteen year old daughter who promptly begged to come. Her Mum said she would have to ask me. What could I do? She’s a nice kid and not at all sulky or rebellious. I really REALLY wanted to say ‘no’ but I just couldn’t …. so I said yes and spent the whole afternoon wishing it was just me and my friend. But the teenager was thrilled and enjoyed it so I couldn’t be ungracious, could I?
Still, I hope it doesn’t happen again next time *sigh*
WOW you are busy!busy!busy!
You sound like you need some good “me” time. It will fun being with the girls.
