Where is everyone today? What are you doing this weekend? What kind of active things are you going to do this weekend?
As for me, I have a very dirty apartment that needs a lot of cleaning! So I plan to be on my feet, moving and cleaning for a good chunk of the weekend. I also may try the “Biggest Loser” workout DVD again. I tried it last weekend, but it was too hard for me (!!) — so I want to try it again and this time not push myself as hard as I did last time (I got dizzy and almost passed out!).
What about you?
Well we know where Blest is, busy with lots of children is most likely. I am around but busy with life. I did manage swimming once and also had another go at the Latina dance video for about 25 mins one morning. Will probably try again on Sunday afternoon. So am trying to get exercise into my life.
However this weekend. A prayer meeting (that can be active), a goodbye brunch party for a family we know, sorting through my wardrobe (closet) and drawers to find out what fits me and chucking out lots that doesn’t (its too big in case you were wondering). This is a must. I had to try 3 outfits one morning and I haven’t got time for that when I should be out of the house at 7.30am. Some house cleaning but not major this weekend. Admin on the conference that my dyslexia association is running next weekend - lots of filing, checking forms, sending receipts etc amd sorting out who has paid, so fairly sedentary but essential. Helping with registering kids at church which may be farily chaotic as we are welcoming two other churches for a joint service this weekend. Some planning, sorting out resources for my teaching job. The list goes on.
In between I ring my mum, organise meals, talk to my husband if he’s lucky, read the Saturday papers (only day we buy them) and maybe do some more exercise.
Are you sorry you asked.

Tonight we are having a friends son over for dinner and a movie, tomorrow I will be exercising in the a.m., and then taking my 9 year old to acting class. My family will attend church services on Saturday because I work in our nursery on Sundays. Hopeing to spend some time with Eric this weekend, we have been so busy. My house is clean YEAH because my 2 monthly housekeeper came today! WOO HOO!

Well, I am doing lots of the same stuff as my Mum, but I am one of the upfront people for the sunday school thing, so I have to finish (and sort of start) perparing a little talk for that, and hopefully have a chance to practise the drama for it too. I also need to do some major sorting of the files I have for all the different kids I work with (2 at school and home tutoring 3) (that doesn’t include the 3 I child mind) (My goodness, no wonder I get confused sometimes, putting it down in print like that makes me realise at the different things I do!) (Sorry about all the brackets. Doh
)

*that was meant to say preparing, not perparing!

Huh. Now that I’ve been relieved from my child-minding duties, I don’t have a clue what I’m doing this weekend! Though I think I will get to meet the new baby tomorrow.
As for active- tomorrow I will try yet another new exercise DVD, sleep willing. I hope to get in some quality beading time… and maybe some more work with polymer clay, which is good because the boys enjoy it too!

I took a mile round-trip drive to return a crib I had borrowed to my cousin. His first baby is due anytime now and the crib I had was his when he was a baby. Nice crib - all the good safety features and I was glad to have it out of my storage room. We are SO not needing a crib again!

My mom is visiting and we are taking a sock yarn dyeing class all weekend. The eating thing has been tough as she likes heavy, fat food and I’m in the healthy food mode. Just a few more days and then all the bad food will be leaving and I can get back to my routine. That’s about it for us.
