Late

Happy Thanksgiving!

I do realize that Thanksgiving was actually two days ago, but.....it's been a rough week around here and I've been running late for just about everything since Monday.

I didn't have to work this week and had all sorts of PLANS for getting stuff done because I would be home alone for 4 of the 5 days!  But then.....well, you know.  Alexandra got sick, the babysitter needed Wednesday off, I forgot that she gets the day after Thanksgiving off and all of a sudden it's Saturday night and I'm sitting on the couch, typing and watching "Footloose".

And the stacks of  pictures I was going to organize are still piled up, the laundry still isn't put away, and my bedroom is still really dusty.

But, on happier notes:

• We had a great Thanksgiving here (for the first time!) with Grandma, Aunt Betty and Uncle David. 
• I got my bi weekly grocery shopping done Friday evening, and it wasn't even busy and they weren't out of anything!
• I got to go rollerskating for the first time in, oh, about 32 years.  And the only time I fell down was when Elizabeth crashed into me and knocked me over.
• I got the be in charge of Elizabeth's classroom Thanksgiving Feast when the mom who was supposed to be in charge didn't come.  It gave me a chance to boss a bunch (read:  more than 3) of people around all at once - something I haven't had the chance to do in a really long time.  And even better:  they all listened to me!
• We put our Christmas decorations up.

So, even though it was a rough week, things were still pretty good.

I will be back to work on Monday, so I should be a lot more relaxed and have time to write more once that happens (As Greg said the other day:  "You need to go back to work so you can get some rest and time to yourself!").

Funny?  Maybe.

True?  Definately!
