Seriously...can this happen?

Just a quick post...I know I have a busy schedule...but I just thought I would share the next week with you:
Friday: finish ppt presentation for Sunday, make 50 cards, make 50 gift bags, hair cut for big girl, go to florist for donation, HEB for donation.
Saturday: finish work, make cookies for next week, pick up items for end of the year party, get prizes
Sunday: church, garden, finish work, start 2 new classes
Monday: meet at school to deliver 50 gifts to teacher doors (most people will be on a holiday)
Tuesday: Big girl to school, drive to pick up mom from airport (about 5 hours in the car), bible study that afternoon, make breakfast
Wednesday: get breakfast to 50 or so teachers, teach science that afternoon to 40 kids
Thursday: Big girl to school, make dessert, take desserts to about 50 teachers, go home and make lunch item
Friday: Big girl to school, go pick up flowers, set up luncheon, stay during lunch to help teachers, clean up, school class party, tye dye shirts...go home and pass out!

So what do you think? Is there anything else I could add to my schedule? Ha...crazy busy just doesn't cut it this time...I will say insane! But I know it will all be taken care of...and I have a few GREAT helpers...couldn't do it without them...and a ton of parents are bringing food for the luncheon...it is just scary being in charge of everything. And you all know how much of a perfectionist I am...so I need everything to go smooth! So I will let you know how things go.

On another note...I started reading another book...and it is SO boring...Mrs. Dalloway...if it does not start getting better...I am taking that one off my list! Anyone every read it? by Virginia Woolf? I know it is a classic...but good grief...I need something!

Talk to you soon.

Not a day to be frustrated!

OK...this will probably not be a 'fun' update or post...so if you want to just skip this one...I will understand. Or if you chose to read it...maybe you could also just say a quick prayer for me along the way! So today is my hubby's birthday...so it was really not a good day to be frustrated. It started with me having a hard time waking up...I knew when I stepped out of bed and felt the pain that it might be a tough day...but I just ignored it. It really is amazing how much we take for granted each day that we live...taking for granted exactly what our feet do and what our hands and arms do. And just when I think I am really getting better, I am reminded with a day like this!

I have been walking lately on MWF...so I called my friend and said that I was not going to go...but she encouraged me and I knew I needed to keep up with my routine. I did not tell her the real reason I didn't want to go...that I just felt horrible...but I went. I made it through and even made it to the grocery store and home. Then things just seemed to go downhill from there. One of those days that I couldn't open anything with these hands...a day that it hurt to lift my arms to put my hair up...a day that my wrists burned when I tried to do anything...and a day that it hurt to lift my kids. I guess that was the worst of it!

I try not to complain about it...try to just ignore it...most of the time just dealing with the pain because I have forgotten what it felt like not to have any pain. But everyone ages, and everyone aches...so I shouldn't be a baby and whine about it. But I was just frustrated today. I wanted to bake a cake (he was out of town anyway), I wanted to have the house clean but just trying to open the sippy cups to go in the dishwasher seemed to be a task. I did work in the garden a bit, and watered the yard...but didn't get everything completed.

So, you see what I mean about not a 'fun' post...I don't mean to be so negative...and normally I am not...but today was just hard, and not a day that I wanted to hurt. Tomorrow will be better...I believe that! I really have been meaning to get you an update on my wonderful garden...I love it! It is hard work...and I am still not sure how I fit the work in...but it is so nice to have those yummy veggies in my yard. So I will get a picture of what I have growing and update you soon.

Thanks for listening to me vent...I know who my faithful readers are...and I know you will be back!

OK...I did write a few words below...but I just wanted to share a few photos.

Hello everyone...I can't believe it is already May. This year seems to be flying by...I just can't keep up. The girls had a recital last weekend and Nana and PawPaw came to visit. So I had to share some pictures.

OK...the garden is going great...I try to spend a little time each day weeding and killing squash bugs. We already have some squash, strawberries, and we even have fruit on our trees...so will see how they grow and how they taste. I can't wait.

School is almost over for Big Girl and we have been working hard...she is so ready for summer.

Sweet girl is still as busy as always and has a fascination with 'slide' phones. She normally asks everyone what kind of phone they have and if they have a slip phone she will ask to see it.

Now my little man is a handful. He is so active, loves to jump off things, but is scared of our neighbor (only a few months older). He is quite funny when our neighbor comes over he will run to me (I guess a little competition scares him away). Anyway, he loves to be outside and we have decided he will probably be the class clown. He is so funny, always trying to make you laugh, and likes the attention.

My reading is going great...I am really enjoying it. I am on 3 different books right now...one has been really hard to get through...Sybil...it is a disturbing book. Maybe you have seen the movie with Sally Fields...anyway...based on a true story the girl Sybil has like 16 different personalities and the book tells her story of how the doctors discovered what happened to cause these different personalities to emerge. It is a good book, interesting, but disturbing and sad at the same time. I will be sending this on to you froggymomma...so you have to read it.

OK...I am going to end for now and write more later. I have a few other things to talk about...but I am so tired right now and I can barely move my fingers...so I will try to write more this week.
