I think this weeks forecast is going to sound more like a TO DO list than a forecast.
Well we (mainly I) have a busy week ahead of us. Tomorrow is P.L.A.Y at the Bawlf Community Hall. We went last week and it was nice. I got to meet some other moms from the area. Maybe after 4 weeks of attending I will be comfortable enough to have some over for coffee and a playdate. I also head into Sherwood Park for my weekly coaching. I haven't been since before Christmas and I miss it. It is MY TIME of the week and I look forward to it. I haven't decided whether or not to bring my mom and kids along. We were planning on going to Ice on Whyte but with the cold snap we are in and are already busy schedule they may just skip out. I have a fifty dollar gift certificate I would like to spend at the mall. Maybe a new bag (purse) for our trip, new swim suit, etc. Usually I spend gift certificates on others but I think this time I will use it on myself.
Tuesday is swimming lessons and some running around Camrose. I chatted last week about going over to a swim group members' house after this weeks lesson. Its funny she was an national/international downhill skier and I was a national/international swimmer. Water and Ice. It seems the more we chat the more we have in common. We take parented lessons with our youngests and then we have our other children in the same group as well. I will have tidying up to do on Tuesday as well because Wednesday will be a real busy day. I want to get most of my laundry done Tuesday with the exception of sheets which I will do Thursday morning.
Wednesday my mother in law is coming for a visit before our trip and to watch Natasha perform again. Natasha has a dance recital at a Seniors Lodge (I think Old Age Home is faux pa now??) that evening as well. We all have hair appointments Wednesday afternoon which will leave us feeling fresh and light just before our trip. I will do some very last minute shopping as I don't want to have to run into town on Thursday. I want to sit down and make my dad a list of instructions for his stay here. More cleaning.
Thursday is departure day even though our flight doesn't leave until 12:30am Friday morning. Thursday will be last minute preparations and waiting and more cleaning. I hate leaving home with the thought of returning to a messy house. That and I will have a house guest and I want the house spotless for them. I am going to try and get the girls to have a nap Thursday afternoon as it will be a late night and long day Friday. I, myself, am blessed with my moms genes of running well on low fuel. Thursday and Friday will be long days but I generally cope really well.
Generally I am done packing with the exception of socks and underwear. It is nice to hit the beach in winter because you take out your packed away summer clothes and pack them into a suitcase. There is no real laundry in between. I think I have done well packing. We are all sharing one large suitcase. I have packed another suitcase of stuff to give away to locals. Anyway I am tired and I want to vaccum our family room before bed. I tried to ride my bike tonight but was interupted by a girl needed ANOTHER hug and kiss. I lost my groove and got off so its to bed soon so I can make it up in the morning.
Talk to you soon.
