Eventful Week

Friday brings me feeling like this week flew by with barely the blink of an eye and the weekend promises to be just as eventful....recap as follows:

Monday:
Mondays are all always crazy days because
a) Work usually requires catch up from the weekend
b) Max has tutoring AND soccer practice that day
c) Howard comes that night to visit with Max after soccer practice
d) Chance is generally doing homework

Tuesday:
a) Went to see Georgia
b) Took Chance to pick up his bike at Thunder Mountain Harley in Loveland
c) Took Max to dinner at Hooters while C was doing man/bike things
d) Followed C home (have to drive the 1st 50 miles under 45 mph) on his bike
e) Came home and we all barely made it into our beds

Wednesday:
a) Work kicked my butt (writing requirements now for a freaking week....gaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh)
b) We had a lunch for the April birthdays and went to Heaven Dragon
c) Had Sesame Tofu/Brown Rice/Veggies...made me ill
d) Came home rushed Max to tutoring, then soccer practiced
e) Cleaned house until 12 am

Thursday:
a) More writing requirements (For those of you who don't know what this is, it's basically writing technical documentation used in the quoting process with clients. This includes EVERY single possible detail associated with the project from the database design and functionality, to how the application will flow to reports based on data collection. Very detailed...but very macro. I am very good at this process, but something about it totally drains me.)
b) Had to provide additional passport documentation (needed a birth certificate with a state seal? Go figure, don't' know what was wrong with the one I gave them...but oh well, should have it in the next two weeks or so.)
c) Laundry (blah)
d) Nails
e) Sleep

Today:
a) Wrap up requirements at work
b) Prep for Mom's 50th birthday (see Saturday below)
c) Wrap up laundry
d) Run some errands this afternoon
e) Help Mj with homework/test prep
f) Call about High School Shadowing

Saturday:
a) Yard work
b) Pick up Mom's cake
c) Pick up and decorate the house a bit
d) Max and I will meet Mom & Jim at PFChangs for lunch
e) Come back to the house and hang out with friends

Sunday:
REST! SLEEP! Course the house will require some picking up I am sure, it always does after we have people over...but we've managed to keep it to a dull roar lately so that's good.

This doesn't include the car situation and 5 billion other things going on with Maxter. Oh and my friends giving me guilt trips for not calling them back when I said I would. I am SUCH a terrible friend, I tell you what. Last I checked, my phone does receive calls as well and generally the only time I get phone calls from them is when they want me to baby sit. I think they are putting way to much energy into being hurt over a phone call. Count me out of all that, I don't need to hear it. I've got enough positive pieces on my plate to keep me more than content....no drama haters! Buh-bye!

But, I have become a master juggler! WOO HOO. Look at me go!

I also plan to kidnap Chance tonight after his ride with Andy and make him sit with me long enough to snuggle, talk and have couple time. We currently have something resembling the "high five" relationship where we see each other in passing in and out of the house. It makes spending time together, QUIET ALONE TIME a challenge...but we are getting better about it. Plus, I know big man needs to get out on the bike for real with Andy and have a go at it. Sounds like fun to me;)

Have a good weekend everyone....remember the United States Supreme Court just set back women's reproductive freedom 3 decades - but today is the 9th anniversary of Columbine and Rush Limbaugh knows the facts so we won't worry about how little emphasis our government places on proactive measures to save lives and provide women with the freedom to make their own health care choices. We'll just skip that part all together and focus entirely on all the ways our kids are totally screwed up today, so much so that they are killing each other. Then we can all stand around in shock and horror and point fingers at peer pressure and guns and the parents and Marilyn Manson and video games and bullying. All of those issues are clearly much bigger than the fact that our leaders are waging a war of fear unto us, that we are murdering hundreds of people every day all over the world, that our kids are facing times like no other in history, that American soldiers are facing 2, 3 and 4 tours of duty in an illegal war, that our economy is teetering and not one thing on the global scale feels remotely stable at the moment. Gee, I can't imagine why young, impressionable people might be stressed out and have no means of support. We are to busy trying not get blown up right now to pay attention to the needs of our own children. That's pretty depressing considering they will be our leaders someday.
