Big Blur

I really don't know how to classify what happened this weekend. Actually, this whole week has kind of been a blur! My mom keeps telling me I need to simplify my schedule, but it is a little late now. I leave for Texas on Tuesday so it won't do me any good. Anyhow, a quick rundown of my schedule for last week reveals:
Monday-play date in the morning, drop off Josie, 4 hour Bible read in the afternoon (a really neat experience by the way)
Tuesday-PWOC in the morning, I had to take a potluck dish which I hate! lunch,nap and then Target that night (more of an ordeal for me by myself with two kids than it should be) Wednesday-I had to look for a smaller stroller because I can't fit my huge double train, oops I mean stroller, in my sister's van and it is also a huge, both literal and physical, in the airport. I also had a return to the mall so those errands occupied most of my day.
Thursday-make up study and lunch with my PWOC Bible study group. That lasts a lot longer than I think and I am home by almost 3:00pm in time to find out I planned the wrong Awana lesson for that night. Great! I totally revamp it, race to the commissary to buy Twinkies-everyone and there dog was there and it wasn't even payday! The Twinkie lesson is a big hit. I head home to plan "favors" for my Friday group.
Friday-My Bible study at church is on Friday mornings. I was 30 minutes late due to various hang-ups, but I arrived "favors" in hand (which we didn't even end up using!). Lunch with the girl who is house-sitting for me, home for a couple of hours and then back out to a friend's house for an Arbonne party.
This is where is gets ugly. My truck decides not to start. We jump it-no success. My friend's mother-in-law graciously offers me and my children a ride to the south end of town-30 minutes away! We arrive to discover that I left my house key at my friend's house. I frantically call the girl who is house-sitting (praise the Lord I had given her my spare that very day!) she brings it over. All is well, right?
Saturday- My friends drive my truck back to me. It had started with no problem-maybe there are such things as Gremlins? I feel "funky" which spirals into a (thankfully short) case of stomach bug. Another friend picks Josie up to spend the night which allows me to go to bed at 8:30 pm.
Anyway, that is my crazy week. I write this more for my own memory, certainly to remind me that God carries me through! I forgot to add that somewhere in there my phone stopped working and I had to switch it out with my husband's. I didn't do any packing and precious little house cleaning so that all awaits today. I suppose the moral of the story is that I really can do all things through Christ who gives me strength but I probably shouldn't try to literally do everything! Oh well, that can be my New Year's resolution... :)

  1. I'm very glad you are feeling better! And, though you had some trials and I wish you had not... I'm certainly grateful for the extra time I had with your sweet Josie! She makes us smile!

  2. I hate that you had such a crazy week, but I love that we got to spend over an hour chatting on Saturday. I know things will seem much calmer once you get to Robyn's. Even if it gets hectic, there will be two of you to deal with it :)

  3. Crazy week? Sounds per normal for you and me! Just kidding, however I do totally think that after the first of the year you and I should commit to no more than 4 days out of the house per week. What you do think? I can't wait to see you and "simply" your life with all my "help" LOL! See ya tomorrow! Love~Me

  5. You should listen to your mother! The apple never falls far from the tree, isn't that what they say? Perhaps that is how I know you should simplify your life. Can't wait to see you. Love, MOM

  6. oh Clare, I can relate, we are somewhat alike. :) But the good thing is, somehow, I was able to cope up after I pray to God for help.

  7. I can sort of sympathize with you, the reason I haven't blogged in awhile is because I have been so busy.
