Big Finish to a Big Week

Gosh, I feel like I've lived a month in just the past seven days. Highlights include:

• Cleaning frenzy to prepare house for birthday sleepover guests
• Wrangling said birthday sleepover guests
• Cleaning frenzy after birthday sleepover (to include household laundry!)
• Work - crazy work stuff...
• Payday and bills
• Last basketball game for school
• Third Quarter parent-teacher conferences
• Planning for Spring Break trip to Ohio
• More birthday fun - ice cream for the classroom snack, cookies for the weekend snack, still have some gifts to wrap and share...
• NCAA Tournament (My interest in college basketball has perked up after watching the grade-schoolers play. Third grade boys setting picks, running plays, shooting one-handed layups? Oh my!!)

That does sound like a lot, doesn't it. Funny thing is, as when I'm at work and faced with a pile of stuff to handle, I feel like I've got a better handle on things when I've got a lot on my plate. Those in-between weeks over the winter, where the laundry piled up and the kitchen was a mess, it wouldn't have taken much to take care of it, but I just didn't feel it. Now that the house is somewhat straightened up, it won't be as hard to keep up with it. At least, I hope not.

Aah, but the thing I haven't done in all this crazy living is worked out - and I miss it! I'm ready to lace up my sneakers and hit the floor. Woohoo! (And we'll see how sore I am tomorrow!)
