Where have I been?

BUSY!!

------------- School, practices, appointments, etc. Life is never dull around here. There's always something to do or somewhere to be. I just love trying to cram in a few minutes for reading and brain stimulants. I know this may seem bad, but I miss my bible. I used to make the bible a priority and I feel so terrible that I go a day or two without even opening it. When I do open it up for a little bit of spiritual insight, I feel so guilty that I can't enjoy it as much as I used to. Hopefully after this busy Thanksgiving week I can get back into MY routine and MY wants and needs. ------------- I've been running around and doing so much for everyone else that I've had NO time for ME!! That's not unusual, but these days, I feel that I could use some time for myself. The pregnancy is going great, but it's a little harder than the previous pregnancies. Maybe it's age, not being as fit, or simply weakness kicking in. All I know is that it's getting pretty tough. Nothing I can't handle, but boy oh boy is it quite a mental and physical challenge.

------------- Tomorrow is Joseph's Kindergarten Thanksgiving Feast. There's a program at 10am and then the feast following at 11am. I'm signed up for mashed potatoes and stuffing. I just got the head count of people who will be attending. 54 people. Holy Moses!! I wouldn't mind doing one or the other or even making both the dishes , but having someone else making some also. I mean, making both of the dishes by myself, for all of the 54 people puts a little pressure on me. I don't want to make too little, nor too much. These are two pretty important dishes for a Thanksgiving feast. I have to be sure to make enough. I'm nervous, but at the same time, I'm just going to do what I can with the time I have and hope that all works out. Is 22 pounds of potatoes enough?? That's all I have and I don't think I'll have time to run out to get more. We'll see. -------------- Wednesday, Joniece's volleyball team is having a Thanksgiving dinner. I'll be 200 pounds by the end of the week. Luckily, for that event, I signed up to bring the paper products and utensils. YAY!! I figured that since I have to cook for Joseph's feast and then again for our Thanksgiving dinner I would be smart and volunteer for something EASY!! I might bring a pie or two, but that depends on how I feel after making all those mashed potatoes and stuffing. :P
