It’s been a busy week, but a good one around here. Only a couple of do-overs, and quite a few high-fives….
Do-Overs:
Still putting too much on my to-do lists
This is a recurring issue, I know… but there it is. I really thought I’d scaled it back to the big things, and those all happened, but then all the stuff that I forget about writing down, but that still needs to be done creeps in.
And it doesn’t help that I was feeling just a little under the weather for a few days. Not bad enough to really stop, but enough so that I’m not as sharp and on top of things as usual.
Salt + Sugar = one big mess…
Case in point… My salt shaker was empty, so I was going to refill it. I pulled the sugar canister off the shelf so I could get to the box of salt behind it. Completely without thinking, I opened the sugar canister and proceeded to dump approximately a cup of salt into the sugar. If it had been closer to April, I might have passed this off as an April Fool’s joke… but alas no. Instead I dumped the whole white granulated mess into the sink. And put sugar on my shopping list.
Meal plans? What meal plans?
This one has definitely gone down the tubes this week. It’s been a perfect storm of confounding factors. What with a holiday on Monday, optional hockey practice for AJ on Tuesday, regularly scheduled hockey practice on Wednesday, me out Tuesday night at choir rehearsal, out Wednesday night teaching class in Boulder, not feeling great Thursday and music assembly tonight… it’s not been a banner week for meal planning or cooking and eating at home. I vow next week will be better! It certainly couldn’t be worse.
High Fives:
Class for Busy Moms!
My class in Boulder is fantastic. There are only three women registered, and there was some debate about whether it would run or not. In the end we decided to run it and I’m so glad. They are three of my exact right people. Fantastic, creative, committed moms who (used to) think there was something wrong with them because they couldn’t do it all. Oh boy are we going to have a good time!
New tile!
In one of the classic examples of scope creep, we wanted to replace an old, cracking shower liner. Instead, we ended up hiring someone to tile it. Like any home improvement project, this one cost more than expected and involved way too many trips to the hardware store but I love it. There are still a few details to be finished, but I’m so tickled I can hardly stand it. I may even attempt to get some artwork in there before long.
Workshop launched! People are coming!
It’s been a while in the making, but I finally got it together to get the word out about my workshop next week. And I’m so thrilled that people have been registering. There are still a few slots open, but if you’re in the neighborhood and want to come, please sign up soon. I’d hate for you to miss out!
I’ve been having a blast coming up with the materials- it’s really hard to decide what to leave out! It’s going to be a good time and I can’t wait to let you know next week exactly how it all went down.
That’s about it for me- how about you? Got anything you wish you could do-over from this week? Anything worth celebrating with a high-five?
Let us know in the comments!
