Generally my life is pretty laid back and I just go with the flow. However it appears that maybe my life is getting back at me this week. Here's how my week as a single parent is going:
Sunday
6am Daylan leaves for the airport for Vegas for the week
1:30pm we went over to our friends the Nicoll's for lunch
8:30pm recieved a call from Brother Lupo asking me to give a 10-12 minute talk Sunday at church (no my thoughts were not those of undying gratitude, but I graciously said yes, and my mom told me you never turn down the bishopric)
Try to get the school website up to date while Daylan is gone, still having problems with it.
Monday:
Get Paige off to school and talked to the principal who informed me that I had to give a speech at the Local School Counsil meeting Tuesday morning when I was to run for the open spot as requested by everyone at the school. Oh, and I dropped off our weekly treat for the front office (this week was carrot cake, I'm just tryin to butter them up so they can help me with my multiple assignments at the school)
Run a million errands with Taylor and find out that home depot only has one of the trees left I need to buy to replace the 4 that died in our yard while we were in CA, and they're not getting any more in. So I buy the one they have there, hurry to the next on to buy their last one.
Went home and put Taylor down for a nap and planted the two trees before picking paige up.
1:45 schools out, we go and buy two more trees that are smaller, but still needed. Run to home goods to find something for our table decoration and then went to Potbelly's for dinner.
Tuesday:
6:00am get up to take a shower and straighten my hair before the girls get up.
7:00am find an email that I'm in charge of planning playgroup for this week.
8:00am drop Paige off at school and walk Taylor over to our friend Molly's place so I can go to the LSC meeting.
8:30am give my speech and get elected to the open spot
8:35am here's the DEEP BREATH I was elected to be the Local School Council President...which means I now get to approve EVERYTHING that happens in the school
10:30 picked Taylor up
11:30 planned playgroup and then changed it 5 minutes later to move it to Friday instead of tomorrow.
12:30 planted the two smaller trees
1:00 informed by the parent of Paige's friend that there's no school on friday and Paige is invited to a birthday party all day
1:30 meeting with the principal and my first official duty...approving a check to be written to pay for the uniform order
5:30pm got a call from Karyn that our Visiting Teaching appointment got cancelled so I don't have to go anywhere tonight. WOOHOO!!
7:30pm call with Daylan
Oh ya, and our neighbor finally had her baby today, it's a girl (they waited to find out the gender)
Wednesday
Gather all the info to submit the next school uniform order (I'm still the person incharge of uniforms)
Get all the weekly school news and upload it to the website
Paint the rest of the playroom after the girls go to bed
Thursday
maybe relax a bit?!
Take the girls to Chuck E Cheese as promised
buy the neighbors a baby present( they come home today) and go find a present for Livia.
Friday
Daylan comes home
Livia's birthday party
Saturday
I'm thinking maybe the zoo before it gets too cold
Sunday
TALK!!!!!
Next week....Monday I have an appointment with Mr. Benes to go over my new role...and then Daylan will leave again in a week.
I really appreciate how simple my regular life was, and would really like to have it back.
(confession: when Daylan's not home I sleep with the bathroom light on)
