I try to take one day at a time... but sometimes several days attack me at once!

Had lots of stuff going on today.

Busy busy busy...

Ben slept over Chris' parents last night....so we were able to lounge in bed this morning until almost 10:00am. I know! That's terrible...isn't it?

Once up ...I had mountains (literally...I tossed it all down the stairs and it was to my knees) of laundry waiting for me. I had not done any in two days...so it took until 10:oopm tonight to get it all washed and put away.

I also sat down at the computer and typed up the minutes from Thursdays PTA meeting. I'm so glad to get that done. Ben got his teacher letter in the mail today...and it was just who he wanted. Mrs. Dixon. She is a wonderful, kind ...and pretty (in Ben's own words). So I expect great things this year! This week we will go and get the supplies on her list from office max.

I also went to the recreation center and signed Ben, Kristian and Kai up for soccer. Also signed us up to coach again. Practices will begin within the next 2 weeks.

Then I came home and tackled the housework. The usual (dusting, vacuuming,sweeping,mopping,scrubbing). I didn't finish until late in the afternoon. I now smell like chlorine (tylex)!

Then Katy and the kids came over for awhile....then we all went out to dinner together. It was nice to sit and chat. The kids are at on their best behavior when they have a plate of food infront of them. So we got to enjoy an hour of peace from their endless arguing and whining!

We also headed over to Old Navy to find Ben a new pair of khaki shorts. His other pair has some strange stain on it...that has proven impossible to get out. Nick, Ben, Kristian and 3 other children are leading the praise and worship at church tomorrow morning. So I wanted Ben to look cute. So he will wear his new shorts with an adorable shirt I got from Gymboree. It is a bright blue plaid that compliments his eyes so well. Nick will wear a cute plaid shorts and linen shirt set. I can't wait to see them up there leding the singin. They have been practicing for weeks.

I am excited. I love to buy stuff to help me be organized. Today I went to Target looking for an expandable file to use for my PTA stuff. I found so much cool stuff. An expandable file...calendar...notebook w/pen...business card holder...all covered in the prettiest aqua cloth. So neat! I also bought a big business tote that matches and everything can fit into. So many places to stick things...take notes...file papers and keep appointments straight. Have mercy....the feeling I got from all my new toys was almost as good as.....well.....you know!

Tonight, we all watched Castaway. Chris and I had seen it before...but the boys hadn't. They loved it. Especially the Wilson parts. Ben has been walking around calling out...WILSON....WILSON.... Too funny! It was a three hour movie...and Ben didn't budge through a moment of it. That might be one movie good enough to own.


We have to be to church early tomorrow for one last choir rehearsal for the boys...so I better get to bed. I think we are going to cookout after church tomorrow. Nothing special...just burgers and dogs. I'm kinda sick of going out to eat all the time. I just want to come home and chill out.

Hope your having a nice weekend.....sweet dreams everybody!
