No time to breathe!

I had originally planned on updating my blog with pictures this weekend and I literally sat down 2 times all weekend and that was at church and to do lesson plans on Sunday night from 8:30-10:30. Here was our weekend.

Got home from work Friday afternoon with 2 extra girls in tow. Mikayla and Haley both had friends over to play. Jenna went with a friend to her house and then to a University of Iowa Gymnastics meet. I began cleaning as soon as I got home and also did laundry. The 2 friends ended up staying the night, I stopped cleaning and went to bed around 10.

Saturday, our guests left around 9, I then went to my school to do some work. I got home around 10:05 and my high school classmate/friend Jenny was there waiting on me. We were meeting at 10 to plan our 20 year high school reunion taking place this summer. (For any of you reading this blog in my h.s. class- to give you a head's up, it will be on July 19th!) After she left around noon the girls and I all went to the mall and ran a ton of errands. We got home at 3 and then I worked for over an hour on a project I had to have done at 4:30 that afternoon. The project was for our school banquet where all of us teachers have to have a booth to showcase our class for prospective school attendees in the future. Jeff got home around 4:15-he was in Decatur, Illinois since Friday- his pastor passed away from his growing up years- our babysitter arrived at 4:30 and we were off to the banquet. Josh McDowell was the speaker. We got home from that at 10:00p.m.-actually 11:00p.m. "Spring Forward" time!

Sunday, we got up and went to church, we didn't leave church until 1:00. We grabbed a quick bite to eat. We don't normally shop on Sundays but JCPenney was having a huge sale on their curtains/drapes so we went there and spent over 2 hours (with the girls!!!) picking out curtains for all 4 bedrooms. So over 2 hours later- major headaches, and a couple nervous breakdowns later- we went to Wal-mart where I had to grab a few things. We got home at 4:30. At 5:30 I had 15 people coming for a "Welcome" class for church. I had to straighten the house and cook all in that hour. Believe it or not, the house looked good and the food was ready and waiting. Our last guest left around 9:00. Luckily she is a co-worker, so I began my lesson plans while she and her fiance' were still there shooting the breeze with Jeff. I went to bed around 10:30 and woke up this morning feeling like I had been hit by a truck!

I have a meeting after school today because I am on the "Lock-In" committee. This committee just realized that we need to get planning the Lock in since it is like 3 weeks away! The other day it just kind of hit me, "I'm on that committee and its the 28th and we haven't done anything!" None of the other committee members even remembered about it! Yikes! We're in trouble.

We are putting Oreo to sleep tomorrow night- none of us are doing to well about that. It will be hard! Pray for us!
