A normal week at last.

It is back to our regular weeks now.  We had our normal Sunday meetings.  Dale was gone for most of the day.  I ended up riding to church with Leslie.  It is funny to have Dale be in the bishopric, I don’t sit alone however since I have my grandchildren all around me.  The reason I say it is  funny is because we recently returned from a mission where we were together all the time, but especially in church meetings. 

Monday we had a lot of things to do around the house.  We still needed to get the rest of the Christmas stuff boxed up and put away.  We had taken the tree out and put the ornaments away, but that is only part of what we had up.  I went visiting teaching Monday morning (yes, I have my visiting teaching all done for this month) and came home to see all the Christmas stuff taken down, and much of it boxed up and ready to put away.  My husband is wonderful.  We also found the time to go out and do some grocery shopping, it was a very busy day.

Today I prepared for scouts.  I found a really funny skit to perform at Pack meeting next week that used 7 boys and no props.  Wow.  I also spent some time trying to make invitations to Carolyn’s shower.  I need to back up and tell you that we had the Comcast guy here this morning switching our phone line over to Comcast.  After that Dale had to mess around with the Internet to get it to work again.  He was getting a little impatient with me and Leslie happened to call right then.  Everything was fine, really.  We just joke that whenever we get in a disagreement the kids always thought we were getting a divorce because we never fight about anything, ever.  So one of us always says that we are getting a divorce and that makes us laugh and then all is well.  So we joked with Leslie about that over the phone.  By the way where is our loaf of bread Leslie? 

When we got home from scouts Dale (our son) came over and had dinner as he usually does because he doesn’t get home from work in enough time to eat before he has to be at church.  He chatted with us a bit and then just left for home.  Kurt ate dinner with us tonight as well, but was gone when we got home from the church. 

Tomorrow I plan on getting the invitations for the shower sent off, do a little planning for the shower, read a book for part of the day, and sew.  This is in addition to all the housework I need to get done.  I also need to plan a meal for tomorrow night, and maybe watch a movie.  We just received the Planet Earth DVD today and I would like to watch it and send it back before we leave on Saturday for the cruise. 

That is what a normal beginning of a week looks like for me.  The end of the week is usually more laid back with more time for sewing and reading, my two passions.  We usually do our visiting teaching at the first of the week at the first of the month, which was yesterday.  I always have scouts on Tuesday.  Church is always on Sunday, the rest of the week is pretty open.  I like that, too much scheduling makes me crazy.  I didn’t like to fill my children’s lives with too much either.  I always felt that they would be better off with only one or two “other” things in a week.  But then again, maybe they aren’t that much like me.
