where oh where to start

Have you ever had one of those days when you think...uh, what just happened? Today was one of those days. The kids have Youth Conference this weekend. Friday evening and all day Saturday were supposed to be a couple of hours of pure childless bliss. Well, the childless part happened but not the bliss. :(

It all started when I went Visiting Teaching on Sunday. One of my ladies was frustrated because she was trying to put together a job fair and was not having much luck. Well, I volunteered to help. What's the big deal, I thought. I will still have Friday night and all afternoon on Saturday. Three hours helping at Youth Conference will dent but not ruin my plans.

Then, Thursday came. The color guard council has been trying to plan some fundraisers for everyone to earn money for the Washington DC trip. Well, they need help. Like some adult supervision that will help things actually happen. So, we met on Thursday to plan some activities. In the meantime, one of the other mom's decided to get a booth at Nibley Heritage Days and have a bake sale for the guard, without telling anyone her plans. That was fun. So, on Thursday we hurried and planned some stuff for the booth on Saturday. Crappy!! There goes my afternoon!!

So, now what? I'm thinking, "well, I can still run to Sears and look at some appliances. I probably won't make it to the Verizon store, but maybe still make it to Joyride bikes? Oh, and I need a new carryon for my trip on Sunday. I can work Youth Conference and the fundraiser and stilll do all that right?" WRONG!!

I made it to Sears. Yup, that's it. Now, I'm sitting here blogging and wishing I had the energy to go somewhere else. But, then I remember I need to do some laundry or I wan't have any clothes to pack. What happened to my blissful weekend? If you know where to find one, please let me know. I would love to go visit, borrow, steal, something to have one.

On the bright side, Kaitlyn and I went to see The Blithe Spirit on Wednesday. It is so cute. We had the best seats and the actors were really good. Kaitlyn has decided that she needs to ask them if they have summer internships for High School students. She wanted to make some of those costumes--until she saw the one with all the fur. Who knew she was a card-carrying member of PETA???!!! :)
