Moving slow (or slowly moving?)

What a week!  And what a weekend!  Missy, I am sure you are used to the lifestyle I've had the past 8 days, but I'm not. So I consider surviving it an accomplishment. 

Jon left last Sunday morning. I was determined to have a great week!  Hours later, Jaeden starts puking. Really?  Why do my kids puke when he leaves town?  Anyway, now I have to clean it up and I'm worried it will happen again.  It didn't though, so that's good. 

Tuesday was dinner at my parents. At least I had moral support for bath night :-)

I survived chaperoning the toddler room on their first field trip and I didn't go into labor on the bus or tractor ride. I probably survived because it was 2 kids to every one adult!

The girls slept over at Mimi and Bapa's Thursday night while I went to bowling. Coming home to an empty house was a little sad, but a lot of heaven!  As was getting ready the next morning. Man, I can get ready fast when it is just me!

Jon got in around midnight Friday/Saturday. The girls slept in a bit and I was ready to kick back and relax...  Not so much!  Jon was on standby and got bombarded by calls. That meant I had to swim with Mya during Jaeden's swim lesson.  Then I decided to make hay while the sun shines and pull up some annuals and plant some tulips and daffodils. Yikes!  I over did it.  I just can't bend over anymore. I felt horrible the rest of the weekend. Then overnight Jon got another call and was gone until 3am, had a call to be at another one at 10, then got paged for one this evening.  Phew. I guess the good news is that the overtime $ will be awesome! 

We managed to make a menu and go grocery shopping (saved about 43% off our bill thanks to coupons!) in between his calls...

Tonight - sausages from the freezer, not labeled so brats? Italians? Who knows.
Monday - beef stroganoff
Tuesday - chicken quesadillas
Wednesday - homemade pizza
Thursday - Mediterranean fish
We'll just wing it the rest of the week!

Here's to having patience, being efficient and not too exhausted. And remembering that I am 34 weeks pregnant and I can't do everything (although I will try anyway) ;-)

Have a great week!!
