Is it Friday yet?

Why, yes it is.

We have a somewhat busy weekend coming up. Or it only seems busy to us because we generally have no life.

First, I fell for Eddie's trick he uses to get me to mow the yard. He basically moans and groans about having to mow for days until I finally just do it myself to shut him up. Then I don't realize what has happened until it's too late. D'oh!

On the bright side, I got a bit more exercise than planned and didn't kill myself on the hill in the backyard. AND I got out of bath duty with Reese.

Anyway, tonight our small group from church is having a progressive dinner. I had agreed long, long ago to doing appetizers at my house. It's easy to agree to stuff when it's WAY off in the future, huh? But, here it is tonight and I should be cleaning house instead of blogging. Priorities, people. And Reese is napping which is another reason I should be cleaning. I have 4 hours until everyone gets here. Surely I can do 8 hours worth of work AND get the food ready by then. I have faith in myself.

Since I mowed the yard, Ed has promised me some "mama" time tomorrow. Which means I basically get to do one of my favorite things on earth. Be alone. Go somewhere alone. You never really appreciate a quiet shopping trip until you've dragged a kid along with you everywhere you go for a few years. I told him I'd just take two hours at the gym while he stayed home with her. But he also offered to take her somewhere for the afternoon, too. I'll take him up on that, I think, but he doesn't know yet that I took a shopping trip to Kohl's this morning as payment for yard maintenance. All deals may be off at that point.

Saturday should be a quiet day otherwise. We have a stack of movies we'd like to watch so maybe we can get Reese to bed early and watch at least one of them.

On Sunday I start teaching Reese's class during the second worship service. I've committed to a full year of teaching that class so I guess I'll be missing Sunday morning worship for the next year. Wahoo! I know I am not called to teach children, it's a true effort for me. I left choir to do this, though, since there was a serious need in the preschool department. The choir can go on for now without me. The preschool? I'm not so sure.

Anyway, Sunday afternoon Ed's cousin Daniel and his wife Sarah are coming by for a visit on their way home from Fripp Island. One of the great things about living in Greenville is that we're on the way to the beach for basically everyone we know! I imagine we'll cook supper for them. I wonder if I can keep today's clean house maintained through the weekend. Yeahhhhh, riiiiight.

Wow, what a completely, utterly boring blog today!
