What Day Is It?
Oct 2nd, 2008 by Sylvia
I don’t know if I’ve been too busy to write or just too lazy. It seems like its been crazy busy around here, but when I look around and see how much I haven’t gotten done, I wonder.
OK, I did manage to get the choir music ready, and I also managed to get all the food ready for the 19th century picnic we went to on Saturday last. Come to think of it, its that picnic that wore me out. And I did manage to get my articles in for the T2CHK Ezine, just under the wire. It should be on the site soon.
We’re studying Ancient Egypt in school. Getting ready to prepare our chicken mummy. I am using a game hen, actually. Can’t see any reason to spend $6 on a big bird and mummify it. The game hen was $1.98. Plus, what would we do with a big old hen after it is mummified? Easier to bury a game hen. So today the children will name their mummy and think up a history to go with it. They will design and build a sarcophagus. Then tomorrow (what ever day that is) we will begin the process of mummification.
I just realized that today must be Thursday because I went to church last night. Duh.
Oh, and I got all the fabric from the T2CHK fabric swap yesterday! Yay! All the fabric is beautiful. I can’t wait to use it. I’ve already got some pillows in mind for three of the pieces and some quilting projects in mind for the others.
A friend sent me a cd of the Antrim Mennonite Choir, it is absolutely beautiful. My children have asked to hear it again and again. I ripped it to my computer so I can listen to it any time I like.
I’ve got lima beans and ham in the pressure cooker right now. We’re going to lunch at Church today and that’s going to be my offering to the potluck meal. I wasn’t going to go, its a lot of trouble to cook and get everyone ready, takes a chunk out of our day that we really don’t need to have taken. But DH wants us to go and says people miss us when we’re not there. How can you say no to a bunch of sweet old people? (DH = sweet but not included in that group of old people. See, I know he reads here…. LOL Hi honey! :) )
OK, the day isn’t started yet and I am tired. More vitamins. Whew. I can’t do any more online Bible studies or take on any more mentees until I get some energy back. I’m actually glad that the pile of things I had to do last week is done. I won’t be taking on anything else til I feel like myself.
“It seems like its been crazy busy around here, but when I look around and see how much I haven’t gotten done, I wonder.”
That’s how I feel!
I’m sorry you’re so worn out, Sylvia. I hope your weekend is restful. I could use some resting, too. It is raining so maybe that means we won’t be working outside this weekend? One can only hope!
Love, Wardeh
No clue anymore as to what day it is, lol.
Have a great weekend!

I hope you had a good weekend!! More hugssss, Robin
