Saturday

Ugh!  Only today and tomorrow left of my "vacation".  I can only comfort myself with the knowledge that there are only a couple of months left of school...

After the children left for Muncie yesterday morning, and Meg left for a meeting, I worked around the house for hours.  Can you tell it?  Nooo...  And though we were both tired in the afternoon, Meg and I bit on the bullet and did some shopping.  "Shopping" consists of grocery shopping.  We generally do Aldi's first, then hit up Wal-Mart for the things one can't get at Aldi's.  The bill was larger than it might have been because I got four bags of softener salt, and I needed some make-up.  (It sure is expensive to make oneself beautiful!)  After we got home--close to 8:30--we had cooking to do.  We made sloppy joes for Meg to take to a get-together of friends today, and some lasagna for me to take over to Ryan H.'s.

On that note, I left Ryan (KB9RAF) an email last night saying that I would be over today with food.  His mother-in-law (who lives with them) hasn't been doing well, and the family has been gathering.  So...I got a meal together to take over there.  Ryan wrote back in the wee hours that his mother-in-law passed away around 1:00 AM today.  I am thinking of them all so much today.  Will go over noonish with the food and hope that it helps some.  Betty had been in ill health...but it still hurts to lose a parent.  Please remember them in your prayers.

Cooking and cleaning are the order of the day.  Will do the deviled eggs for tomorrow's Easter dinner today.  (The filling always tastes better when it has "seasoned" a bit.)  The mashed potatoes will wait until tomorrow.  We are having dinner at Nathan's parents' house...

Have I completed anything that I had hoped to accomplish this week?  NO!  'Tis ever thus...
