Blessed, you are getting so much done!!! Hang in there, girl! I am so sorry your aunt isn't doing well. I know that weighs on your mind.

I don't know if I am really sticking to a Basic Weekly Plan... well, yes I do know -- I am definitely NOT sticking to a BWP. That much is certain.
My BWP should be:
M -- Laundry
TU -- Cleaning
W -- Cleaning
Th -- Cleaning
F -- Free/Family
Sa -- Free/Family
Su -- Worship/Free/Errands (Grocery shopping on Sunday nights)

But this week, it's like this:
M -- Laundry, Cleaning, Dgrands
Tu -- Teacher Meeting, (watch) Constitution Day Parade (all elementary school classes take part)
W -- Allergy Shots, Haircut
Th -- DGS out of school early, Dgrands all afternoon, take dgrands to watch Homecoming parade, DGrands overnight
F -- DGS to school, DGD all day, Dgrands overnight
Sa -- Dgrands all day
Having both of them together just really stresses out dh, and by day three of this, I'm going to be on my last nerve, too, I suspect. There's just really no other option this week and next. I wish I could manage all this as well as LadyM!
Tomorrow is another day.
