I watched a video this weekend about a mysterious laundry basket. The husband had discovered that if he put laundry in the basket the laundry was magically cleaned, folded, and put on his bed. The same thing was happening to his stuff that he left on the coffee table. It was magically getting cleaned up too. Then his wife disappears. In the end, the police woman suspects his wife left him, but he wonders if his wife fell onto the magic coffee table.
I wonder if my kids think we have a magic laundry basket and coffee table too. This weekend I ran with Vanessa. I mowed ½ the lawn before it began raining. I went with Vanessa’s family to WAMM fest. I returned a library book, and I picked up new ones for the kids. I went to Aldi and Meijer for groceries. While I shopped, I made sure to pick up snacks for Princess’s class at school because Monday is her day to bring snacks. I made and froze peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. I put carrots into individual baggies. I ate dinner at my parents’ house. I went to ATT to try to figure out how to lower my bill. I made honey lime chicken, baked sweet potatoes, and sweet potato fries. I froze all sweet potato stuff. I made 3 batches of playdough for Princess’s class at school. I had to run to Kroger in the midst of making the playdough because I didn’t have enough cream of tartar. I did some loads of laundry yesterday and some today.
Today I helped with the 5th-8th grade Sunday school. I went to service and sat by an old high school friend. I handed in the form so that the church could run another background check on me that they have to do every couple of years. I finished mowing the lawn. I sprayed Round Up on many weeds and pulled a few weeds. I cleaned some of the house. I paid bills, and I updated all my expenses in my budget app. I prepared mail that I need to send out. I tithed to church using the online give program. I filled out the permission slip for Champ to attend the chorus festival, and I also wrote out a check for it. I updated activities to my calendar. I changed the sheets on the beds. I took the recycling to the recycling drop off spot. I worked for about 1 ½ hours at my school...updating my sub binder, entering students’ data scores into a spreadsheet, emailing parents and coworkers, splitting kids into reading groups, printing and posting a lunch menu, etc.
I drove an hour to meet the kids. When I learned they were running extremely late, I started walking around downtown Crawfordsville. Then I started walking around Wabash College. The kids were returned to me at Wabash College. Since we were leaving the meeting spot about 45 minutes later than we should have, I stopped to pick up dinner at a Wendy’s in Brownsburg. We had to wait for them to finish making our healthy eating choice...grilled chicken sandwich. I stopped to pump gas in the car at a Kroger’s closer to our house. We finally got home around 8. I read Princess all of her new library books, and now I’m returning work emails while I patiently wait for her to go to bed.
I got to so much this weekend, but there is always more I wish I had done. Princess asked if I “mowed the carpet.” Vacuuming is one of the few things I didn’t do this weekend.
