The phone rang. "I went off and forgot to.... blah, blah, blah... and if it doesn't get in the mail by 4 o'clock... blah, blah, blah."
That "deleted" the housework right off the bat. And doing the laundry. And a few other little things I was going to take care of BEFORE Jef and Jeni arrived from Huntsville for us to celebrate Autumn's first birthday.
I was still in the midst of "partying" when another phone call came. Had I found all the information I needed? Was the form filled out? Was it going to make it to the post office before 4 o'clock (last mail pickup at the Whitesburg Post Office). "It has to get TO MONTGOMERY by Monday." So I stopped partying and took care of that need, then drove into Huntsville to mail it.
I was afraid I was going to completely miss Thomas and Carolyn's 50th wedding shindig but I got back by four so I went on over.
They had a very nice celebration and a whole lot of folks came. I know they were very pleased.When I got back home, for some strange reason, I felt completely drained.... so I sacked out on the couch. Even with all the racket the kids were making, I was able to catch a few winks. Then I got up and heated up some of the macaroni and cheese that I had left from Josh's rehearsal dinner. It freezes very well and kids like macaroni and cheese so I fed all of us JUST that. I really liked that stuff.
Then Jef and Jeni packed up all the kids and headed on home. I decided it would be a good time to try that icing technique the used-to-be-a-therapist customer had told me about yesterday. I was happy with the results so I ran right up to Dollar General to buy me some more small styrofoam cups. (I could find only one here last night when I wanted to be sure and freeze a cup over night so I'd have it today.)
Oh, did I mention that my boss had said if I could work some overtime today, it would be needed. I had thought I'd go in at four but at some point, I decided there was NO WAY I was going to fit that in.
I enjoyed my whole day. It was nice having the grandkids around on my day off.
The BIG thing I meant to get done today fell through the cracks-- sales tax. I'll have to get up real early in the morning and start that and finish it up in the afternoon.
I got a call from an old (actually young) neighbor who moved off to Kansas. She's going to be in the vicinity tomorrow so I invited her for lunch. Josh and Tesia were coming to eat with me on "Shane and Ginger's Sunday" but Ginger begged off because of other commitments. I was going to have Josh, Tesia and Josiah, so the old friend turned up at an opportune time. I don't fix Sunday dinner except on the weeks I have Ginger and family.
