So, as you can see I didn't get to finish my last post! Yes, it is indeed another busy week filled with lots of activities. Anyway, back to last week. After getting in late from the company Halloween party, my night was just beginning at 9:30pm. There was a Family Readiness Group fundraiser in the morning, which meant I had 25 breakfast burritos and two batches of cinnamon rolls to make. Needless to say it was a very late night and I didn't get to bed until 2am. About 4hrs later I was awake again to reheat everything and ensure that I made it to Foster by 8:15am, which also meant ensuring that all three kids were ready for school before I left. After a very successful fundraiser, which made the late night effort worth it, I ran Olivia to school, but not without what she needed to bring for her Western Day celebration. Yes, another child with another food requirement, which I managed to forget and had to run to the store to pick up which made her late for school.
After dropping Olivia off at school, I was able to come home and sit in front of the computer and try to catch up with my school work; which is keeping me very busy and glued to the computer. I was then off to see Olivia at her Western Day celebration. It was great to see her so excited about parade up the hill for all the parents to see and singing all the songs they had been learning. Duane and I actually got a preview of the singing because she was standing on our bed in front of the mirror singing, "If You're Happy and You Know it, Stomp Your Boots". After the performance and lunch it was back home we went to start on more school work and more cooking.
Yes, the oven hadn't begun to cool down before it got fired back up for baked goods and appetizers that were needed for Ryan's pack meeting for Cub Scouts. While Duane went to a Battalion Hail and Farewell, I dragged all the kids and platefuls of more food to the school to see Ryan earn another belt loop, which was for flag football that he played earlier this year. After convincing the kids that they did not need to go play at the playground in the dark and that Mom needed to go home and pass out, we headed back to the house, I shoved them into bed and sat on the couch and did nothing.
I have to say that I've never done so much cooking for so many things in such a short amount of time. I love helping wherever and however I can, but I often over commit myself and I really only have myself to blame. I fear I will never learn!
It was so much fun watching Olivia stomp her boots and yell yee-haw!

My goodness, those kids keep you busy. Sounds like you are quite the cook. You sound like my mom, she can never say no to helping with anything, and everyone knows she is great at it so they always ask her! It is a good way to be.
