Friday Madness

My weekend was quite busy.  It actually all started on Thursday with dropping kids off at school, decorating the wedding venue, picking kids up from school, dropping kids off at a friends, going back to venue and decorating. 

Friday was even busier!!  First I got up at 5am, had breakfast and then went running!  I did a 10 mile run.  My FIRST double digit mile run.  It was slow, but I'm making progress.  After running, I was off to finish decorating for the wedding.  Since the groom is actually my cousin (very close cousin, who is more like a brother to me), I was asked by mom to help decorate for the rehearsal dinner.  So, after trying to finish decorating for the wedding I was off to help decorate for the rehearsal dinner.  Then I ran home for 15 minutes to get dressed for the rehearsal.  After the rehearsal it was time rush off to pick up Michael and then to the rehearsal dinner.  Yes, busy day! 

My Flaws

Yes, even I have flaws! (Lol). I have learned over the last few days my biggest flaw. I have several, but my biggest? I have learned that I need to learn this word...it is two letters and starts with an N and ends in an O. Yes, I need to learn how to us the word NO! These last few weeks have just been crazy! I am literally living day to day trying to make sure I can get everything done. I am a teacher in our WAM's Student choir at church. Our musical is next Wednesday. I was asked to get funding for costumes (tshirts) and whatever we didn't get free to go buy. Of course when I go shopping, I have to take the kids. So over the last weeks I have tracked down 25 yellow shirts (has to be same yellow, sizes youth small-adult large) and 25 blue shirts (again has to be the same color blue in sizes from youth small-adult large) always with two 3 year olds. I then was asked to make video camera out of cardboard box (pictures to come, it actually turned out good), paint 3 banners, and learn 2 songs to teach the kids (I've already done this, but struggle to remember movements all the time). I had my party last weekend, so everything has been pushed back (plus a lot was asked last minute). I was asked to help with picture day at school on Tuesday and then asked to sub on Thursday. I'm in Asheboro today because I am running in a mud run tomorrow. Crystal and I are dressing in costume so I also have to sew two shirts (decals) and make some tutus. If that wasn't enough I've also been asked to be in charge of Teacher Appreciation week in 2 weeks. Did I mention I also have to help with a field trip next week to Lazy 5, parent teacher conference, Mother's Day gifts for MOPS, and make a birthday gift? So after teacher appreciation week I'm going to be implementing this word that apparently other people have learned.. Do you know how to say no? If so please teach me!!
