Over the midweek stress...
I studied well for my nutrition test. I was done with 55 questions in about 20 minutes. There were a few little questions but for the most part I think I aced this thing. It feels good to have 2 tests down and three to go. Now, I have a research paper to work on for the next two weeks and get that turned in and then I can do my presentation up front, too. I want as much as possible out of the way before November. I also had to ask my chef instructor if I could do some office tasks instead of catering and restaurant functions so that I could be off my feet a bit more right now. He was good with that . He keeps asking me if I am sure I don't have cancer or something bad. He is quite serious. I keep reassuring him I will be fine. So I will be going in to do some typing of recipes into their database and working on the cookbook and website a bit. When it is up and running I will share that with you guys.
I still have lots on my plate for this week even though the most stressful thing is past. (the test) I have a mini flower arrangement to do for Friday... (which I suck at, btw...) and then I have some tea cookies and I am praying my Shasta daisies open up so I have something to submit for the horticultural exhibits. If they don't I have a single rose cluster I have but it is not the same... It is such a long story as to why I am still doing this flower show after I told then THREE times I really had a tight schedule and could not commit. They are pushy old ladies and quite annoying... I don't think any of them remember having children and a husband and being in school and cooking all the meals and going to a weekly Bible study and studying for a test and homeschooling three children and waiting for surgery while in great pain most days and and and and..... They don't get that I am busier than the WHOLE GARDEN CLUB COMBINED!!!!!!! *bigsigh*... I sigh a lot don't I? LOL Anyway, after this event I am out of the circle until I have more time to just hang out with them - which, at this rate, will be somewhere around 2035.
I am going to make tomorrow as relaxed as I can possibly make it even with the extra tasks I have to do and I think E(9) will be getting a crash course in helping mommy make a miniature flower arrangement. She is quite creative and I think she can do the brainstorming for her poor brain dead mommy. LOL We will go to the store for a few items in the morning and then go from there. It will have to be a very few due to the budget and I think I have some fabric here we can use.... now if those daisies would just BLOOM!!! Any suggestions on forcing them???
My next post will be thirteen things I wish I had time to do this week... LOL or something to that effect.

I think you should put little signs in your arrangement of unbloomed daisies that say things like, "It's not my time to bloom." and "Timing is everything and my time is not now." Turn it all into a farewell to the garden club.
I wish you felt better - I know you will, but I wish you did NOW.

Leann,
I'm so sorry about the pain. And, yes, I am scratching my head about why you are still doing flower arrangements after you said no. That's a tsk for you. Hope you are feeling better soon, and I'm praying for what's ahead.
