What's Going On?

I feel like I have been out of commission for months even though it has only been a few weeks.  While I'm keeping up with most of my favorite blogs, I have done nothing update my own.  This week is opening night for the production my hubby and kiddos have been working on for the last few months (lots of pictures to come).  I've been stitching and ironing to make sure their costumes are perfect.  My daughter also has a dance competition coming up as well as a solo routine she is working on for the recital.  I've been working on the costume for these events too. These sewing projects are very funny to my mom as she remembers how I hated sewing classes when I was working on that degree in home economics.  Now it seems to be a must have skill.  I can't imagine not being able to alter or stitch up something when I get in a pinch.

With all of this fun I also started a Bunko group in my community.  Several friends and I played when I first moved to the community, but our group quit playing.  A new neighbor asked me recently if I played and suggested we get a group going.  This past week was our first meeting at my house.  I think everyone had a blast and looks forward to playing again next month-much needed time away from the mommy duties.

Work has overwhelmed me lately.  This past week I almost missed a meeting because I got the dates mixed up.  I'm usually very on top of things, but I've been more than a little stressed with tons of meetings and lots of reports due.  When I left the office on Friday I felt very good about how much I had accomplished.  I plan to tackle this week with GUSTO!

Tonight, we are enjoying what will most likely be the only meal we enjoy together this week as tomorrow night is dress rehearsal and then the play begins on Thursday evening.  Hubby has city council this week and I have a Monday night meeting.  Hubby pulled out all the stops and fired up the grill.  YUMMY!  Good ole backyard favorites- BBQ chicken, potato salad, corn on the cob and a fresh green salad.
