Even crazier this week

Last week was definitely crazy...and this week is crazier.  I made the comment to several people last week that May is becoming one of my least favorite months.  The schedule of everything is absolutely insane...just crazy!

Today I have a 9:30 meeting at work.  I am definitely hoping this doesn't take forever because I have tons of things to do.  I need to pick Robert up from school at 2:30 and drop off the 28 2-liter bottles I have for tonight's dessert function.  I have to get Robert to his volunteer shift at 3, then pick Catherine up from drama at 4:30.  I am picking Robert up at 5:30 and then going straight back to the high school to drop off the 600 desserts.  I have to be at the middle school by 7:00 to Catherine's student recognition night.  I am so proud of her for being recognized for her hard work and her grades!  Tonight is Andrew's evening class he is teaching so I'm on my own.

Tomorrow isn't as awful, although Andrew has a meeting after school and then I have a meeting tomorrow evening.  On Wednesday, Robert has a meeting after school.  I will need to pick him up from that and get him to a doctor appointment.  That evening, I have a meeting and Andrew has one as well.

Thursday is my day to make hay!  I may not have to leave the house the entire day, and that is fabulous.  I will need to be working on the house...big time!  Catherine is being confirmed this weekend, and many relatives are making a trip to our house...for many it is the only time of the year they are here.  The house needs to not only be picked up, but CLEAN.  Not weekly clean, but vacuuming window sills and washing windows clean.  Hopefully Thursday will be a day to really get that accomplished.

Friday I have a haircut, and I'll need to get Robert after school again for his volunteer shift.  When we pick him up from that, he'll need to head to work and it's going to be a rather late evening.  Catherine also has her 8th grade "formal" dance (I'll post about that at another time) and I need to make sure she looks decent.  On Saturday Thomas needs to go to our former town for a birthday party, Robert has a crack-of-dawn scouting event and also has to work all of the day.  If my in-laws are able to be here they will arrive on Saturday, although some things have developed that might keep them from coming.

Sunday we need to retrieve Thomas from our former town bright and early and then will spend the day celebrating Catherine's confirmation.  I'm trying not to be annoyed that of the 30 people we've invited that all of one person has responded to let us know about attending.  Communication folks!  I'm looking forward to spending the day with whomever can be here and celebrating my beautiful and kind daughter.  Next week she heads to D.C. for her eighth grade class trip.

Life is absolutely crazy, and I'm so grateful for each and every moment!
