Sunday night

Oh, the end of a nice long weekend. Sunday evenings are usually low key unless I have some type of meeting at the church, but I usually have mixed feelings as I never get everything done on the weekend that I plan to do. Of course I am utterly unrealistic as I think I can get more done than humanly possible. This Thanksgiving weekend was full of possibilities on Wednesday, and now it is over.

I did accomplish some things. We had the Thanksgiving celebration and therefore got the majority of the house cleaned, then had 17 for soups for lunch today after church. So have gotten to enjoy some time with friends and having the house cleaned for both events. And the downstairs is still in good shape, except for the boxes of Christmas decorations. I was able to enjoy a movie and time with both girls, pick up a few Christmas gifts, get all caught up with laundry, have enough leftovers today for dinner tomorrow night, do a little grocery shopping, spend a little time with hubby watching a movie at home and finish crocheting a tote, put away the fall stuff and get all the Christmas decorations down from the attic, read a little bit before bed every night for pleasure, and chat with my sister several times. I did NOT finish youngest son's swim scrapbook, work at my freelance accounting job, organize our bedroom, get my warm winter clothes out, or clean any closets. There are certain things that are hard to do when you only have an hour or two. I'm bad about using those 15 minutes here and there for some things. I'm good about keeping up with laundry and picking up the main living areas, but have to have a big block of time to even start with closets and things like that.

A long week of work ahead, plus the new schedule with hubby working again. And now more is on my shoulders in the transportation department. L will take son to swim practice at 5:30 am and then head off to work soon thereafter. I will get up and take younger daughter with me to pick him up by 7:30 am with some type of breakfast in hand. I had both kids pack their lunches tonight. So I will need to be ready for work at 7:10 am. After picking him up and then depositing both kids at school I will head to work, hopefully arriving about 8:20 or so. Older daughter will be responsible to pick them up and get her brother to afternoon swim practice before L and I get home from work.
