Where Has The Week Gone???

This past week, I've been so busy that I haven't had time to do much of anything! What have I been doing?? Mostly I've been...
A referee between these two...

The young, silly puppy who goes out of her way to antagonize the old, crabby one! She's just trying to play, but Maddie has been the house princess for 12 years and has never had to share her toys or her mom...she's trying to be gentle and kind, but sometimes she just wants to sleep and not have a little squirt crawling all over her!!

I've also been part...
...chef/caterer -planning and shopping for a fundraiser dinner for our high school mission team. The dinner is this Sunday, and I'm cooking for 500-with only teenagers as my help-YIKES! Thank goodness for Walmart fried chicken!!! Since they are going to Sautee, Georgia, we are doing a "southern" menu (or our interpretation of a southern menu). Fried chicken, southern green beans (with bacon and onion), tossed salad, corn bread, mac and cheese, and peach cobbler-with sweet tea, iced tea and lemonade. I'll be buying the produce tomorrow, prepping everything Saturday and cooking and serving on Sunday.

I've also been part...
...volleyball addict! I've played three nights this week (usually 4 nights a week from February-mid May), not playing Saturday night after cooking all day-I'm sure my team will appreciate me for getting a sub rather than trying to play tired!

I've also been part...
...invalid from pain from plantar faciiatis, a cracked orthodic -unknown to me until my hips and knees started hurting unbearably! Now that I have new shoes and my back up orthodics in my shoes, the pain has gone down the scale to about a 2 from about a 15!!

I've also been part...
...chauffer and...
...encourager to Adam as he shopped for and leased his first new car!!! It was a BIG milestone for him, I just hope he still likes his new little Smart Car in a few weeks when the newness wears off! Can you imagine a six-foot, four inch 230 pound guy driving a Smart Car?? It's actually pretty roomy inside and quite comfortable. I tried to get him a shoe horn as a gag-just in case he needed it to get in or out of the car, but no one sells them around here anymore-other than the 3' ones for senior citizens!!

I've also been part...
...maid-you know the stuff you do everyday too around your house.

All that, on top of work and everyday life-it's been a busy week!!! I did try to go to a couple sales today in my town, but they were frogs. I stopped at a new consignment shop, but it was a frog too. At least it was a gorgeous 82 degree day today with lots of blue skies and sunshine (until a couple of hours ago when the sky let loose, but it'stopped now, and all is quiet as the ground soaks up all the puddles).

I'm hoping to go to a sale or two tomorrow, but they are about 30 miles away...is it worth it with the way gas prices are? Should I just stay home and read a book? Or should I go? What would you do??

Hope you've had a great week! I'm off to check out your blog to see what you've found and what you've been up to!! Have a great weekend!!!

  1. Make sure to give your older pup some alone time! I remember getting my parents dogs used to each other was such an ordeal! The older brother really enjoyed some alone time to rest and get loved. I think it helps them realize they aren't getting pushed out of the way because of a new puppy! They will be getting along in no time!

  2. I just love your new puppy! I'll bet she's the major topic of conversation at your house. I do feel a little sorry for your older gal, though, but I'm sure she gets her share of attention and love!

    P.S. I suggest going to the sales.....
