Just.....
It has been an interesting weekend. Only a little out of the ordinary. First I need to thank God for sending a friend to show me how to be humble and appreciative. I think I have mentioned before that I am somewhat prideful. A friend gave me a large sum of money. So, thank you God for making them willing to part with hard earned dollars.
Second, I went to Krispy Kreme donuts in Louisville on Sunday morning. I walked in the door and a gentleman working there handed me a fresh still warm donut. I told him I loved him. And at the moment I bit into that melt in your mouth confection, I did love that stranger!
I was in Louisville to go to a Christmas dinner theatre production thingy at my mom's church. It wasn't as cornball as I thought it would be. It wasn't stirring and magnificent, but very nice. They performed and served dinner all together. The people in the choir, that is. They started off with a couple of solo songs and monologues while you ate the jello salad appetizer. There was a little break as they brought out the actual dinner plates and then while you were eating pork tenderloin, green beans, and cheesy potatoes they performed more. Dessert was already on the tables, lemon and pecan pie. It was nice.
The cleaning isn't going as well as I had hoped. I thought that if I could just work and work and work it would get done. This is a monumental task. And I don't have very willing cleaning partners. I have to "loudly encourage" the kids to keep working. I lost it this past Wednesday when the washing machine broke and flooded my kitchen and it ran under the walls into my bathroom and bedroom closet, and I just quit. There was tons, litterally, of laundry from the kids rooms. I went out early Friday go get lay-a-ways out for Christmas but needed to be back by 12 so Alan could leave for a "30 Seconds Down" fishing/camping trip. You will have to go to his blog to read about that. Pretty funny. After the repairman came and fixed the washing machine and I got Alan off I had to go out and get the lay-a-ways that I didn't have time to get earlier in the day and then got movies, came home and proceeded to fold what laundry was clean and just watch movies. So, I have until Thursday night to get things in order. It will take all day Friday to put up the tree and then clean up from that and be ready by 7p.m. for our party guests. I am unrealistic in my goals. And I won't even mention what my house looks like at this moment. :-( Very discouraging. Right now I am just.....
Well, I am not getting anything accomplished at this moment or as long as I sit in front of this screen. Peas and carrots to you all.
