Survived It

I actually made it through my crazy, hectic day!

Did you have any doubts? I did...

Maybe it's because I couldn't sleep last night. Or maybe because about 4:45 AM, Scout came into my room with an earache. I don't know.

Taco's car for his pack meeting.

Drama Queen took care of things this morning so I could try to sleep a little. We both took Baby Doll to her ballet class at 10:00 and then we ran to Curves for a quick workout. We gassed up the van and ran for the streamers I needed for my table decorations and still picked her up at 10:45.

We headed downtown immediately so that Drama Queen could get her paperwork in so she can go to work as a substitute teacher in the Granite district. Then we stopped by Chick-fil-A and used my free sandwich coupons for a quick lunch on our way home.

I ran through the grocery store for the salad dressing I forgot and then it was home to pull the last minute stuff together. I only had about an hour before I had to be at the elementary school to help with their Marketplace for Scout's class, so I used it wisely and make the uniform inspection awards and gathered the rest of the stuff I needed for tonight.

I also managed to get a much-needed shower and a change of clothes. I arranged for Princess's Cupcake Club to tour Peterson's Bakery on Thursday. That was the 4th place we contacted. I wish we would have called them first! They were so accommodating and all the other places just didn't have the time to help us.

I had fun at the school, selling housing to the kids for play money, but it was after 3:00 when I finally got home. I gathered what I needed and headed for the church. The Dog Walker had an appointment with his tutor and he wasn't able to help me set up so I had to do it by myself. Fourteen tables and 100 chairs later and I was exhausted. It was almost 5:30 by the time I finished the tablecloths and decorations.

I drove home to pick up the rest of the stuff and make my quick pot of chicken noodle soup. Yeah, I confess, I opened 8 cans and added water to my crockpot. Teach showed up about the time I was packing the cooler and she helped me get things in the van. Then the Dog Walker came home and we were ready.

By 6:15 she had the projector all set up for the slide show and I had the food under control. Other leaders showed up with their crocks of soup and we were good to go. The crazy part? I didn't even think to take a single picture!

Things ran smoothly and by 8:00 we were cleaning up. Unfortunately, we had some trouble getting the screen to go back up and that took almost half an hour to solve. I finally got home at 8:40 after locking up the church and quickly changed for basketball.

I have to admit I was moving much slower than usual and my shot was definitely off. But I was there. I got home just before 11:00, read scriptures and had family prayer with the kids who were still up and sent them all off to bed. As soon as I finish up this post for you, that's where I'm going.

Maybe tonight I won't have any trouble falling asleep.
