So in a week, I've gotten a lot accomplished: finished the eldest's school and had a picnic with him, his classmates and his twin sibs to celebrate. The weekend was great, got a new & fantstic haricut, attended a minor league baseball game with the family, threw a wedding shower for my sister and ended the weekend with a romantic afternoon date with wonderful husband. We cooked a 4 course French meal with 4 other couples, then enjoyed the feast together. Then, we took the family to the local pool before having a nice dinner with minimal little kid fights. It was a FANTASTIC weekend!
So, this weekend my dreams have been haunting me with the activities I have in line for tightrope walking every day. Friday night I dreamt all about the activity we had for my sister's shower. Last night, I had kept dreaming about the leaking bathroom, noticed by a quarter-sized water puddle in the basement. I suppose that these dreams help me figure out and dress-rehearse what I have to do to get the job accomplished. The problem is that they wake me up. When I return to slumber, I have the same dream and wake up. Repeat...a few times. So I suppose the score is: dreams win.
I ended the great weekend last night putting away lots of laundry and reflecting on how much I accomplished this weekend both personally and from the amount of clean laundry I had finally got around to folding. It was just then that I realized that I didn't go grocery shopping all weekend. Oh well...this is the part of the tightrope walking that you have to let one thing drop off the tightrope balancing pole in order to get to the end of the rope. The babysitter will be fine with some PB&J...gosh, now that I think about it, do we have any bread?
The tightrope feat for this week: grocery shopping, fix leaky shower, 3 consecutive nights of tee ball games, attend a social support group meeting, visit with the ENT, take child to do different 2 therapy sessions, a doctors appointment for myself, root on wonderful husband in his 3 consecutive nights of basketball league playoffs, figure out how to get 5 grandkids in a professional picture for father's day, and we will end the weekend with 7 graduation parties...yes SEVEN Graduation parties. Logistically this last feat will be easy - just simply put: expensive.
Gosh - that task load isn't TOO much...I'm thinking I still have to get going on my garden & flowers for the front yard....I can see those falling from the balance beam for 2011 completely & disappearing out of view, falling to bottom of the circus tent right now...maybe I'll get those on the circus act for 2012!
