A Snapshot

It's been 3 weeks since I have blogged. I keep an update via Twitter on my blog. It seems that it's all I have focus for these days. We're doing a snapshot since it's been a while and I don't know where to start:

What have I accomplished recently?

--Finished a slide show for the PTO (a favor I did for them)

--Purchased a 2006 trailer in time for a trip at the end of last month

--Washed the whole outside of the trailer after the trip

--Bought a new puppy for our family! (A Shih-tzu/Bichon Frise mix)

--Made it through the first night with said puppy

--Started training at our "Care Service" to become a Case Worker

--Agreed to help with an anti-bullying program at our school

--Purchased school supplies for 3 kids

What's on my to-do list?

--Start the process of a new year with Children's Liturgy

+Call rep about faulty listening device

+Follow up with possibly 2 new liturgists

+Create schedule for 11 liturgists for the whole school year

+Find out when I should receive the liturgy packets...copy and prepare for each liturgist

--Stay consistent on letting Charlie (new pup) out to establish good potty habits

--Catch up on my house! It's a mess!

What's been driving me crazy?

--Mary's emotional roller coasters...what will puberty be like??

--Buggy computers

--Weeds all over the back yard and in beds

--Swollen uvula that is better now...thank goodness!

--My messy house

What's been making me happy lately?

--Charlie! He's adorable and very easy so far! I didn't expect this!

--Our new camper...It was a great trip to Lake Michigan and the camper fit our needs perfectly

--I love volunteering at the Care Service. There is SO much to learn...which makes it challenging and rewarding at the same time. I feel very humble interviewing clients and listening to the run down of their financial situation.

--How good Ted is. How could I do this all without him??

--Knowing that I will have two free days a week; with Mary in Mom's Day Out and Ben starting full time Kindergarten! What will it be like to have one child home with me every day??
