Okay, I have to admit, I did all right last night with getting stuff done. I made a grocery list and menu, got my class planned and worked on my bible study. Tim playing his new games helped me out a lot as he will play them for a long time and not mind that I am doing other things.
Thursday is always my busiest day. This morning I did NOT get to walk. Tim informed me we needed to pick up the truck from the mechanic and so I didn't have time. I got ready this morning and we went straight to do that and had to go right to bible study. I took Tara with me so I didn't have to come back home afterwards and we made it just in time. Sammy and Alyssa stayed home to do schoolwork...which reminds me...I need to go check Sammy's schoolwork. Alyssa is at drill team for ROTC so I will check hers after I pick her up at 4:30. After bible study I went home and got Sammy and we came back to co-op. All we were doing today for my cooking class was planning a menu and making out a schedule. We are doing a full turkey dinner so Kathe (the other teacher) and I will have to be there early and start before bible study and Sammy and Hunter (Kathe's daughter) can work on some of the other stuff while we go to at least part of the study. The kids are coming early (about 11:30-12noon) to get started so we can eat and clean up by 2pm. I will be so glad when this class is over. It has been fun, in a way, but I am not sure what I was thinking when I volunteered to teach. Oh, yeah, I thought we would be in our house by now.
During second hour of co-op I had to run home to get Alyssa (good thing we only live a mile from church) and take her to the school for drill team. They are having an extra long practice today as they are getting ready for the Veteran's Day parade this weekend. I have to miss it! This is the first one I have missed since Alyssa started 3 years ago.
Tonight will be a YOYO night for dinner (Your On Your Own). Usually that means leftovers or whatever you can find. The older girls need to be back at church by 5pm to get ready for the Jr. High Group (which they help lead) and Sammy, Tara and I will have to be there at 6pm for me to attend worship team practice. Sammy is involved in the Jr. High Group, which starts at 7pm. My choir practice also starts at 7pm and lasts until 9pm. I have a lead part in the drama for the Christmas Musical so I haven't actually been singing on Thursdays during choir. I really am missing it, although, I absolutely love acting! I did it a lot in high school and college and it is a blast for me. That is why I can't be at the girls parade Saturday, because we have our first big dress rehearsal that morning. It's okay, though, they have a drill meet the next Saturday and I will be able to go to that.
While we are all gone, Tim gets this one night to himself. I know he really enjoys his time to be alone and "veg" so I take Tara to childcare at the church. She loves to go to childcare anyway so it all works out.
Gotta run and pick up the older girls....

I love your "YOYO" dinners. We have those too but I love your name. I think I might steal that name from you :-)
I stole it from someone else, so feel welcome! LOL
This is the second blog I've visited this morning where Emily already posted MY comment! I'm going to start using YOYO too, and if you post it at SHS, you might just be responsible for coining a new American phrase!
Diann, love your photo collage on the left. I'll have to figure that out at some point.
Could Tim give you a better Christmas present than being in your new house?! How exciting to see it all coming together and finally living this dream!
If we get in our new house by Christmas, it will definitely be the best Christmas present EVER and I won't need anything else.
I got the photo collage from Flickr.com It was pretty easy.
