Well, this week has been a blur (as most weeks are). Monday night Brad had both Boy Scouts and City Council, while I took the kids to Chic-Fil-A for Fallston School spirit night. It was a total madhouse. Grandmomma had requested that we go to Kmart afterward to buy Sam a pair of "knock around" shoes to keep down at her house for when she picks him up from school. We did that, then swung by DQ for a blizzard before returning home. Thank goodness they gave out homework passes to everybody who came to Chic-Fil-A because both the kids were asleep in the van before I got home with them. It wasn't even 8 o'clock! This time change has been rough for them. Anyway, I tucked them in the bed and did a load of laundry before Heroes came on. That show just confuses me lately... anybody know what's going on? I'm just tired of trying to figure it out...
So Tuesday (last night), we got home, did homework, ran by Mimi and Paw's to grab some supper, came home, ate, put on Lily's dance gear and headed off to dance. She got to wear tap shoes and they tapped last night. She had a ball! Came home, bathed them, did more laundry, spent 30 minutes putting away clothes in their rooms, put them in the bed, then collapsed in the recliner to read a little bit of my new cookbook that came yesterday. I am going to have to have packages delivered somewhere besides my house from now on. You remember the two Dr. Oz books and what happened to them, right? Well, I just managed to save Jessica Seinfeld and her Deceptively Delicious recipes from my hungry hounds. They had chewed through the box and the book only suffered a few scratches before I found it in the flowerbed. Darn dogs!
That brings us to tonight... we just got home and I sent Sam outside to find a few leaves for a school project he is working on. Lily is whining (of course) for something to eat (a little snack) but we are going to church tonight for supper in about 15 minutes. Brad and I are going to go to Bible Study (the new preacher is starting a new study tonight that sounds pretty interesting) while the kids are in their classes. When we get home, it will be baths and bed for the kids, then I have more laundry to do, lunches to pack, papers to grade and a test to write for tomorrow.
I know I am not the only person who runs around like this all the time. I even recognize that some people have a much busier schedule than I have. It just seems like I never have time to slow down and enjoy anything. Brad and I talk sometimes about being born in the wrong time period... and I really think sometimes that I was. I think that I should have been alive during a slower paced time...back in the time when there were no computers (as much as I love my computer), no phones, & no cars. I just think there was a much deeper appreciation for the little things in life and you weren't so rushed that you never even noticed those little things. Maybe I would have gone totally mad with boredom, but I don't think so. Anybody else ever think about such weird and crazy things as me?

I am so with you on Heroes. I am just about to lose all interest. I just don't get it anymore. OK, so this Adam guy is immortal? Sort of like a vampire, like he hasn't aged since he became immortal? And he was Kensei? And Kensei never would have been a great warrior if Hiro hadn't gone back in time to make him that way? I'm giving it 2 or 3 more episodes and if it doesn't get better I'm breaking up with this show.
