It is inevitable. I plan one major activity, or new doctor's appointment on a day -- it could be 6 months out, it could be 6 years out, and every other event or activity for that month falls on that day. Take for example today.
There is a doctor's appointment in the morning. OH, guess what you lucky Friday folder stuffer (sending home info for school parents) this is distribution week. The week where town and not so town organizations can send home their info through the school. Basically hours of sorting and stuffing papers destined for the recycle bin. These two events can't happen at the same time, but they are trying to.
This is also the first day of the winter activities through the PTO. And of course it's Brownies. Not as much of a bottle neck as the doctors and Friday folders. We will just miss the first day of the winter activities. Instead there are 14 Brownies coming here to get ready for our sleepover at the Science Museum. It is suppose to be the coldest day of the year-to-date and in order to get the troop to my house, we have to walk. It's only a 10 minute trek, so if they have hats, mittens, scarves and hopefully a jacket -- all should be okay. In the past -- this hasn't always been the case. I will have a backpack full of extras, and hot chocolate in the crock pot. (Not in the backpack, but back here, at the house, on the kitchen counter.)
And just where do you put over 14 backpacks (siblings will be here) along with all their winter garb, and still have room for activities? I'm still clueless on this one. I'm thinking it will be one of those all will be revealed moments.
Next weekend is looking mighty interesting too. With the winter activities, museum sleepover, girl scout cookie booth sale, children's Mass, and Super Bowl all competing for our attention. I'll probably get my period, just to make things really interesting. Why not?
OH, am I suppose to be rewriting a book in here somewhere? Yeah, right.
