Day in the Life part 2

Found out yesterday that my already packed weekend was gonna be even more packed. For some reason I felt really overwhelmed. I count on the weekend to catch my breath. But not this coming one. Then I prayed. God was able to help me be focused on one day at a time. I do not have to worry about tomorrow for it will take care of itself...each day has enough trouble of its own. I have to rest in doing all I can do in the 24 hours I have right now.

So Wednesday started out with a bang. L got up and took swim son to practice and left about 5:15. I heard him and couldn't get back to sleep. I laid there and tried, but my mind kept racing. I should have just gotten up. Anyway, took shower, got dressed, brushed hair, put on makeup & earrings, got work stuff ready, woke up younger daughter, started the dishwasher, filled two bottles of orange juice, put ice in my big cup I take to work, had some time in my devotion booklet, took old dog out, fed cat, put water in dog bowl, locked bedroom door, started van as it was chilly, grabbed swim son's lunch and school backpack, my laptop, big cup, and purse and headed out the door with younger daughter at about 7:12. Stopped at Jack in Box and ordered a cup of ice water, and 5 breakfast sandwiches. Pulled up to swimming and waited less than 2 minutes (YAY!) and son got in van. I prayed while son ate 3 breakfast sandwiches and daughter ate 3/4 of one. Then they each prayed. Dropped them off at school and got to work by 8:15. Worked straight thru and ate my breakfast sandwich about 10 or so. Got text from son reminding me to drop off his swim stuff at home before I took daughter to doctor. Also he'd left his phone in my van...could I leave it as well? So, left work at 2:50 and texted daughter that I was on my way home. Put swim bags and phone in entryway and hollered up for older daughter that I was home. Dropped off my laptop in entryway. Got back in the van and got to the doctor appointment right before 3:30. Had a lovely time with daughter on the way. She was most pleasant and cooperative. I offered her a diet pepsi vanilla which she eagerly accepted. Signed in and filled out some evaluation paperwork.

Appointment took about 45 minutes from start and wait until finished, paid, and got prescriptions. Daughter would like to stop and get something quick to eat. So stopped at McDonalds and got a $1.00 yogurt parfait deal for her. Then we were next to Ross and Joann's and I knew they were having a yarn sale. So walked over to Ross but they wouldn't let her in with the yogurt. So we went over to JoAnn's and I got a couple of skeins of yarn for 25% off. Soft yarn for another afghan for the living room after I finish up my plastic bag crocheting.... Then over to Ross and just looked around but got nothing. Then I was exhausted and had a long evening yet...and it was already after 5, so headed home. Hubby had browned the ground beef and sausage for the lasagne before taking son to swimming. So we worked together putting the sauce together. Then he took younger daughter to youth group and stopped at grocery store while I made up one pan of lasagne. After he got back I added more spaghetti sauce as it was not quite juicy enough and made the next pan of lasagne. Put the first pan in the freezer in foil and then set aside the other. Got a pot filled with water to make corn on the cob. Hubby had made up the bread dough in the machine and so we shaped the dough to look like bread sticks. Yummy! Set that on the oven to rise.

So L left to get gas and pick up swim son while I got on the computer to check my work stuff since I left early. Older daughter was getting rid of some stuff in her room so I had her get a big trash bag to put it in. We will either take it to charity or else we may do a garage sale...we'll see how much there is to make it worth it or not. Back to check on food, had daughter put in a load of her bedding and set the table. Sat down to crochet for about 30 minutes before dinner. At 20 minutes until 8 I put the breadsticks in the oven with the lasagne. Heated up the water for the corn. 10 minutes before 8 I put in the corn as it was boiling, and put ice in the cups. Cleaned up some of the pans and middle son came over for dinner, arriving at the same time as the swimmer and hubby. Had one of them put water in the cups and daughter came down as she heard them come in. Ate a delicious, messy dinner and daughter cleaned up. Set aside rest of lasagne for middle son to take back to their apartment. Talked to son and crocheted. Hubby went to bed. Older daughter went to friend H's house to spend the night. Younger daughter and swim son went to bed. Middle son and I chatted until I was too tired so I sent him home. It was after 11. Went to bed. Yawn. Realized this morning that he forgot to take the lasagne. Sigh.
