Where we went Mon.-Wed.

The kids and I were invited to go to the mnountains with a friend and her kids and we had a great time. It was blessedly cool there everyday, and very quiet. It was a 4+ hour drive, and well worth it. Thanks, Monica and gang!

Tired, tired, really tired

I got out of bed at 10:15 this morning. The kids were watching TV so I sat in my chair to watch with them, and fell asleep. Finally I just gave up and went back to bed until about 12:15. Seems like every once in a while I have a day where I am tired and hurt all over and today was that day again. I was able to sew a bit this afternoon and finished a quilt top that I've been working on. Tonight I still hurt, so will get to bed before long. Hope your Saturday was better.

Editing that last post

OK Everything on the schedule DID happen. There were some glitches, such as;

I didn't account for the time it took to clean up the jar of marshmallow fluff that landed on the tile floor.

Sparring took longer than expected and we arrived home at 8:18 after TKD.

Played basketball in the drive in their pajamas while I got supper and had a phone call with Matt.

Chasing the frog out of the garage and calming T (he's terrified of frogs) took a bit of time.

Bedtime and blessing was at 10:09.

I however, am on schedule here at the computer. Heading downstairs now to knit and watch the news.

How was your day?

OK. I put the puzzle back in the box and made homemade pizza tonight. I have redeemed myself, and am going to purchase a "medium hard" puzzle this weekend. At least that's what Amy says we need.....
