I tell you what, sometimes I really over estimate my abilities. This past couple of weeks has really been too much. I hosted the Thursday evening meeting of my fellowship group in my home which means I spent the entire week cleaning and tidying up in preparation. Our annual church bazarre also fell on this past Saturday for the first half of the day and the last have of the day was a wedding and reception. Preparations for those activities included baking, chopping veggies for a crowd size salad, two costume changes, and exhaustion. Factoring in volley ball games, water feature completion at longggggg lasttttttttt, the regular chores of cooking and laundry, followed by two granddaughters celebrating birthdays, card and money for one and a mini party and pressies for the other. So this week is pink week at Em's school, I am a breast cancer survivor and a PTO member so no getting out of this activity, which of course means more baking. The hand went in the air for 3 days of treats. One down, two to go. Then I suppose I should mention my hubby had cataract surgery Monday AM with a post op follow up this AM. More volley ball games and I did get a tiny lost in West Richland. By the grace of God I did find the school. Wednesday afternoon you will find me in Richland, third day in a row, with Aunt B getting her carotids ultra sounded, followed by the final vollyball game of the season. Thursday I will have my teeth cleaned on the way to work and we will be baking Thursday evening for the final pink week goodie to go Friday AM. Phew!! I am definately too old for this!
Things, although hectic, rarely go unnoticed, which I learned last Sunday. In the middle of feeling frazzled and put upon I was honored at my church for my efforts in the womans group I belong too. I definately was surprised, and felt unworthy of this recognition, there are so many wonderful women that dedicate far more time then I. God is watching when you are driving lost in West Richland, He is watching when you are giving of your time, He is watching when you feel like you can not do another thing and then gives you the energy needed to do just that. I plan on a much quieter weekend coming up, time to regroup. God is Great, what was I thinking?
