Getting it DONE

I haven't been blogging but I've been doing quite a lot. And none of the things I actually HAD planned for the week happened, like Movie in the Park. lol But here's what DID keep me occupied....

Soccer
  • Returned an AWFUL LOT of soccer phone calls and then returned even more
  • Updated the soccer coach list and the website
  • Registered several new soccer players, several of them in person
  • Ordered a batch of soccer uniforms
  • Downloaded Openoffice and Firefox onto the soccer laptop (yes, this job comes with a laptop!)
Homeschool Group
  • Arranged a field trip (free!) to see the King Tut exhibit at the Indianapolis Children's Museum
  • Dropped off a couple books to co-op teachers
  • Organized the homeschool group's storage area at church (along with two friends)
  • Updated the homeschool group's policy statement (with one of my co-leaders)
  • Called several people on the co-op waiting list to confirm their interest
Exercise
  • Went to kickboxing class two mornings (one hour each) - Anyone want to come along?
  • Jogged/Walked two mornings (2.5 miles each time, can now run ONE MILE without stopping - Can you believe it?)
  • Went for a four-mile bike ride with some of the kids (all good except for that last hill - eeeeeek)
  • Bought an exercise ball at a yard sale for FIFTY CENTS! Whee!
Errands and more!
  • Bought David a pair of running shoes and a pair of soccer cleats
  • Ordered a wireless router and then set it up (now we have a wireless network! Whee!)
  • Called David's soccer coach to let him know he'll be missing practices next week
  • Called Verizon Wireless to arrange a back-dated text messaging plan (now you can text me!)
  • Went grocery shopping at Meijer and Walmart
  • Did a MILLION loads of laundry, all of it hung on the clothesline except one load
  • Sent a resume for a teaching job
  • Stopped at Arby's Thursday (TWO times) for FREE sandwiches because the Tigers hit three home runs in their last game (Thanks to Maryann for the tip! You have to print out the box scores.)
  • Went to a lot of garage sales
  • Got David all packed for his missions trip
FUN!
  • Watched Slumdog Millionaire and King Arthur and Knowing and one episode of John Adams (The only one I really liked was John Adams.)
  • Listened to several disks of The Fiery Cross (a couple of them while grocery shopping). LOVE IT!
  • Went to two libraries
  • Spent Tuesday afternoon visiting with two friends (and our 12 kids)
  • Visited another friend overnight on Wednesday and spent all day Thursday with her and another friend (and our 11 kids)
  • Saw a movie at the theater Thursday night with a bunch of girlfriends (WITHOUT our kids, except for one aged 20 lol)
  • Spent Friday afternoon at the beach with a couple friends (and our 12 kids - Notice a trend?)
Notice there is NO writing or querying on this list of completed tasks. NEXT WEEK FOR SURE! (Someone hold me accountable instead of inviting me to do fun stuff! lol)
