So this was the ultimate crazy weekend, and I'm just now recovering. Thursday: OB Appointment, Shopping and remedial cleaning for Saturday Friday: (Woke up at 3 am and couldn't get back to sleep - Uggh) More cleaning, baking, and shopping for things we'd forgotten on Thursday. Saturday: (Woke up at 1:30 and couldn't get back to sleep - Double Uggh) Spent morning finishing party prep. George's birthday party (not quite 30 people in the house). Collapsed for 30 minutes. Proceeded to Halloween party for very nice family in the church. Came home and scrubbed face paint off children and belly (more on that later). Hubby baked cookie cake to take to church for our anniversary there. (Took Benedryl to ensure more than 3 hours of sleep.) Sunday: Decorated cookie cake. Listened to people (aka older men) make jokes about the size of my belly. Worship service including wonderful baptism. Church soup luncheon. Baby shower. Crashed on couch exhausted. We were all supposed to go to the ordination/installation of a now former congregant, but the kids and I were just too pooped and stayed home. (George started crying during worship.) Hubby went to ordination. Hubby came home, scarfed dinner and left to lead youth group. Hubby came home and collapsed on sofa. Monday: (Woke at 2:30am and couldn't get back to sleep.) No school. Mom and kids too tired and table covered with baby shower presents. Wrote approximately 35 thank you notes. Tuesday: Rotary pancake breakfast. No school. Mom still too tired and table still covered in pink gift bags. Wrote 15 thank you notes then stopped. Ran out of cards. Wednesday: Slept most of the night without help of Benedryl. Table mostly clear. Pretended it was Monday and had school. Finished thank you notes (63 total). So, the thank you notes are done. What a wonderfully generous group of people they are! I realize that the stilted style of language may have made me sound ungrateful, but it's more that I'm still reeling from the overall frenetic pace of the weekend. I'll elaborate more on the particular events as the week unfolds. Now for some of that laundry! Jennifer |
