Conga Friday!

[Twins' Mom]

Conga through Friday and on into the weekend. Shake your body (and your home!) into shape!

I'm conga-ing around this morning getting the house ready for dcleaning lady in her new Friday mode. Long day yesterday (I don't remember whether I posted but I think I didn't.) Dsis is not as well as two weeks ago - meds change had been made because she was gaining weight too fast and now need to do more tweaking. Ds is home and asleep upstairs. Some of his stuff still in my car but he's taking his things upstairs to his room for the summer.

Today is errands, some time at home this afternoon and temple/friday night dinner there tonight.

I feel really behind with the house and temple biz. Emails not returned, the house is a mess for cleaning lady. Instead of getting decluttered, the trend these two weeks has been in the other direction. Big stack of papers next to my computer. Wish I had OKay here to tutor me!

After taking it easy Wednesday and Thursday, I am feeling somewhat better and need to get with the program. Still have the effects of the cold but the worst seems to be over.

Dd1 has 3 large envelopes that need to be mailed today. So I am elected to do it. I will need to get a receipt so she can pay me and then be reimbursed, since they are connected to the state school nurse board. It looks like I will need to get showered etc. and go get that done. I will do it at the grocery store. Their mail goes out at 10:15. I don't have a grocery list made out so will have to come home, do that and go back.

Guess I better get a move on..................

I'm off to morning teaching team meeting. I hope to be done by 11:00, stop by the groc. store for fresh fruit, and then end up home by noon. Dd17 and I (and another friend or 2?) will leave our house at 3:15 to pick up the girls in Detroit. SO, that means, I may have 3 hours to get the house spiffed for guests. Bathroom got done yesterday, and the van is clean. I'll be glad to have a more open schedule next week, though dfriend S has asked to borrow our van to transport Univ. students to the camp. Ds is going too; as of last night, she said they were short 21 seats for the students going. They leave tomorrow. I love S to pieces, but we are sometimes bailing her out of last minute crises. . . .Dh and I haven't even finished the conversation since he was out last night. So, there may be a lot of chauffeuring going on next week.

I'm off! I think the pup is settling down, nice for ds who will be the only one home after I leave.

I have finished my straighten up and am eating breakfast. Ds is up and dcleaning lady here. I have a list of errands for today and some "recreational" shopping - probably just looking but I want to go to Homegoods and World Market also.

I am walking ddogs next and then will be gone.

I've stripped and remade the bed. Put away the dishes. Watered the plants. S2s. Had breakfast.

Dh is going camping this weekend and dropped in to pick up a few things. So I visited with him.

Need to dry my hair next, then put together some rations to keep me going through the online meeting. It will last about 3 hours so I guess I should limit drinks but I'll need some "quiet" protein and other things to munch on from time to time. I can hit the 'freeze camera' button and my picture will freeze while I pop things into my mouth or take a sip of water.

IMing with DD#2 this morning. She has set up a one hour massage for us while I am there. DD#1 has scheduled a pedicure. My girls do take care of their mama.

Today is prep day for big community picnic at church. We invite the whole town (maybe 100 people) and have a hot dog roast, games and prizes. I am making a cake today, DH will go with others to help set up and then we have fun all day tomorrow.

I need to get packed for the trip today as we will take off shortly after church on Sunday to stay near airport Sunday night. It still doesn't seem real.

Time to pick up the kitchen and then see what clothes still have to be washed. Making a Li*t and checking it a gazillion times.

I spent my 30 min. in the kitchen and you can't even tell! VBsigh yd. work yesterday took a toll on the house work. Dgkids were here as well until darkish.

Today I'm plugging away at it.

Didn't have time for everywhere I wanted to go. Ds wanted me back home because he will filling out an online application (at dh's request) and had left his wallet in my car.

Home Goods, world market, target, post office, groceries and home again. I am going to nap, then some paperwork and phone calls...
