what is this you ask? this is the ending to a crazy week - helping my nephew finish up his science project. (determining which products are not biodegradeable - therefore we should recycle)in this week i've had a family emergency, watching after nephews so my sister could work late, a fund raising event, grocery shopping (at least! we were getting low), a girl's day, fantastic football and now a science day. whew.
it's been a whirlwind of activity and i'm still going strong tonight in getting my clothes together for the week and cooking dinner. we've lived off fast food this week because i haven't had time for cooking or grocery shopping. it felt good to cook tonight.
the cold weather has arrived in alabama (did you hear about the snow in texas?) and i believe some flurries hit up north. we avoided that bullet for now, but had the first real freeze of this winter. brrrrr i've been working on making christmas stockings and another weekend has gone by and i didn't put up a tree. i think i have one more weekend before i just hang it up, right? *smile*i feel as if i've been on a treadmill last week - hopefully it will be better this week. hope you get off to a good start too. gotta run change the clothes over to the dryer.
ps - i'm working catching up with blogs - if i miss one, please forgive me. also, if i check your streams on flickr, i'm way behind there. i still love ya, it's just been one those very little time week.
oh char...
ReplyDeleteyou have been so busy and I hope all is okay with your family.
as always, what a great aunt you are !
our winter is coming hard and blustery this week...we have been so spoiled with almost balmy weather for wisconsin and the snow they are calling for on wednesday is going to kick our butt !
hugs to you my friend....
i am guessing that is part of the science project?! WE got no snow , it went south, and I am in your camp..no tree yet...
ReplyDeletewaddah week for sure! But don't you love that every once in a while. It makes you appreciate the slow days :)
ReplyDeleteI hope you are able to find a few peaceful just-for-Char moments in the upcoming week.
ReplyDeletebreathe relax and enjoy.
ReplyDeletewe are having a science day here too. em and hero trying all kinds of experiments following a primary science book.
Holy snarky birds! I don't think there is anything you don't do! I hope it slows down a bit so that you have a bit of your time. I hope everyone is okay and that all are well and healthy... The temp is minus 29 with the windchill and about a foot and a half of snow! lord love a duck! If this keeps up I am coming down there to help you out. I can do everything but bake. lol. Take care.
ReplyDeleteYou are the best Aunty Char. Running here and there.
ReplyDeleteJust remember yourself and take care love.

Whew! Take a breath! We totally understand and I certainly expected to see less of you around here. You're a workaday woman now! We miss seeing you as often, of course, but so happy for the reason! Take care of Char!
ReplyDeleteIt's definitely a busy time of year, but in a good way. Christmas keeps us smiling as we go about our merry ways :)
ReplyDeleteWe had snow here Saturday night, an inch or two. Enough to coat the ground and shovel off the walkway. It's pretty, for the season.
You have been busy! Seems it's just part of life this time of year. I feel like the days are flying by and I'm not keeping up :-)
ReplyDeleteWow....drag up a chair and sit awhile! How do we get it all done when it gets like this? Being sick for the last 5 days has gotten me behind in some things...the cleaning did not get done...but its still there waiting! :( Take you a time-out!
ReplyDelete...I know you loved that game!! RT
I've always wished I had a sister so that my son would know what it's like to have a great aunt just like you! A busy week, indeed. I hope this week slows down a bit for you and that you have time to decorate your Christmas tree. :)
ReplyDeleteI hope this week is slower for you. Last week was crazy for me too, as my guy was gone. But there's snow on the ground this morning, reminding me to slow down a sec.
ReplyDeleteIt does sound like you had fun, though. And it's better to be busy living, than it is to be busy just being busy.
I know what you mean about being happy to actually cook...we've been on a whirlwind of basketball games and practices that we have had fast food all week. Didnt realize how bad it was until my oldes said 'can we have REAL food for a change?....och....
ReplyDeletelove your sunflare photo!
No apologies needed. It's nice that you help you nephew with his school activities! It snowed here too. I hope those Texans stay warm.
ReplyDeleteyou will probably be in a whirlwind until after the holidays...January can be such a nice quiet time to reflect and by February, bored to death. have a great week!
ReplyDeleteit does sound like an extraordinary busy time for you. i am behind as well and worry that others will think i don't like to visit anymore. that's so not true. so i completely understand.
ReplyDeleteso what did your nephew conclude from the science project?
wowzers!
ReplyDeletesounds like a busy week for sure!
:O)
hoping things slow down for you...
It snowed here in birmingham:) like for a whole minute at least, ha! we had a crazy weekend too, but not in a good way. Hope you have a wonderful week!
ReplyDeletelove the light in the trees.
ReplyDeleteand in this busy week, you still found time to stop by and make me smile.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
Don't even TALK to me about catching up with blogs! I can't even seem to post regularly on mine, let alone get to all the blogs I love to read. (sigh) It's a bit slow today, so I have the time to meander around a bit. YIPPEE!
