I have been looking forward to this afternoon

We've had an extremely busy week.  Our afternoons and evenings have been far from "free".  Monday after school I had to run some errands for band, and the kids had practice that evening.  I also had a volunteer over to work on wreath sale items.  Tuesday afternoon Catherine had an orthodontist appointment.  Thankfully she could drive herself because Andrew and I had a meeting, then he had another work meeting.  I went to work at church and then went to the grocery.  Catherine had to work for a few hours.  Andrew took Thomas to get a Halloween costume and I had Catherine bring home McDonald's for dinner.  We VERY rarely do that, but it just seemed necessary.  I was supposed to attend a meeting that evening, but decided I needed to be working on band stuff instead.  Yesterday Andrew took Thomas for his temporary permit.  I had an appointment after school, then had a meeting at the bank.  The kids also had a band concert last evening for which I had several duties myself.  By the time we got home, it was 8:30, and I had to finalize the information for our band fundraiser.  It's just the way things have been this week.

Today?  The kids have band practice right after school.  I will have over 2 hours of quiet by myself.  They have a quick Halloween parade this evening, but we should all be home by 7:30 at the latest.  I am so looking forward to all of us actually being home and not having to stress about getting something done.  I am really looking forward to this...and hope to take a nap!
