I wish I could get these things done early in the morning so they weren't hanging over my head. That always makes me kind of panicky during the day like I'm forgetting something. I totally forgot about going in to help with Kid's Day in Whitney's class tomorrow until she happened to mention that tomorrow is Kid's Day! Good grief, that could have been ugly. I'm so glad she mentioned it. I normally write things down on my calendar so that I won't forget, but when I got the call about helping tomorrow I was reading on my bed and wrote it on a scrap of paper (which hasn't been seen since). It's very disconcerting when I do this because I like to feel like I'm on top of things. It makes me fear I'm forgetting other things as well.
I slept so poorly last night, and ended up on the couch from 4:00am-7:45am. I had gotten in bed to read around 10:45pm and thought I was drifting off to sleep but then kept tossing and turning and feeling antsy. It was grim. When I got up at 4:00am I actually thought about blogging, but then talked myself out of it so that I wouldn't be wasted today. (How grown-up of me!)
I just realized Whitney's eye surgery is already a week from Thursday (the 25th) yikes! She informed me last week that she's "not going to cry about it because I already know what it's like" so that's good, but it's still a little bit scary. It's already been almost a year since her last surgery (March 2006), so that's hard to believe. This time it's at a different medical center that's supposed to be nicer (not that Utah Valley Hospital wasn't fine) so we shall see. I just wish the weenie eye doctor would be less weenie-like. I'm afraid he's going to reprimand us for not getting Whitney's tonsils taken out, but the pediatrician said it wasn't necessary. Do you think I need a note from her doctor? Ha.
In other news I cleaned up my scrap room a little bit yesterday (enough that walking over to turn on the light is easier to do) and hope to do some more today. I always feel really accomplished when I make progress in here and love it that I always find fun things that have gotten lost along the way. (This is the BEFORE picture, just so you know.)
American Idol starts tonight! Has anyone been watching Grease: You're The One That I Want? Lori came over last night and we watched Sunday's episode and now I'm pretty much hearing the soundtrack of Grease in my head 24 hours a day. I suppose I'm okay with that, but it's kind of weird. (Baby, some day when high-yi school is done...)

My week isn't too busy, but I'm sure things will come up.
I feel like I have accomplished what I need to in a day when I finish a major project, my home is clean, or I have taken the train more than five times. I know that is weird, but I feel like I have gotten more done when I have been more places.
I won't be watching American Idol-- I'm not really a TV person, but I've been sucked into 24 for another year.
Wow! I didn't even realize I was the first to comment. How's that for timing!
We are having a snow storm here, and in true Portland fashion, everything has shut down. It's like an unofficial holiday. So the busy factor of my week has really decreased - at least for today!
Whitney's eye looks sad in that picture - poor girl! We are also Sunday night Funniest Home Video viewers. My kids just love that. I find about half of them excruciating, but it's fun to do that together. Good for you on your FHE streak! And, we probably will be watching American Idol, but no Grease here.
I do feel like I have a REALLY busy week, but it is mostly at home stuff...filing, quickbooks, phone calls for the business etc. I always feel a little stressed when I have so much hanging over my head...the days seem to go by way too fast when there are so many things to get done
I hope Whitney's eye surgery goes well and is the last one. so hard for her to have to go through!
My week is busy in that I have to come up with the perfect birthday present for a friend. It will consume my thoughts until I do.
Don't watch AI and getting dinner on the table makes me feel accomplished!
Way to go on the FHE, it's a toughie sometimes but they say there are blessings to it. heh
I enjoy hearing about what you have going during the week. It gets me excited for when my kids will be in school and I'll get to do stuff like that too.
This week is actually not busy at all, which I like since it is so cold outside. ONly plans are social plans over the weekend, so that's pretty happy for me.
My day feels accomplished if my house is clean, I do something creative or service oriented and I read my scriptures.
I hope Whitney's surgery goes ok. That picture always makes me so sad.
How about that wannabe Sandy dumping that wannabe Danny after she didn't make it and he did?!
Alison--That was some high drama wasn't it? I think she thought she was going to make it and he wasn't. I was embarrassed for her when she stormed out. By the way, Lori and I were wondering if you would be on there.
We have moved our FHE's around too. I say whatever works. This week was the first time I have thought about letting the kids watch AFV. Not that I don't like it, I just forget. They LOVED it! The big kids were belly laughing and I think it might be a weekly show now.
Your week does look busy. At least you have it all written down now. I feel good at night if my floor is vacuumed and the dishes are clean in the dishwasher.
I have the dvr set for AI. I'm ready, although it does get a little old in the beginning. I get so embarrassed for people when they act like idiots that in no way can sing! It makes me cring!
My busy-ness is nothing that I don't create for myself. Your days, though full, don't appear unmanageably so--yet. Things can happen and life gets in the way.
But, Jill, I don't think you're being respectful enough to your random post. It's not crap! Just the things that make your life yours! ;)
I informed my hubs that American Idol started tonight. Do we want to get sucked in again?(Carrie Underwood was our 1st season)He said no. There is so much more to do with 2 hours than watch some of the worst singers try out!Even though that is the funniest part! I do feel we need to edit it a bit,our kids watch, and we definately edit ALL the commercials! Prime time is NOT kid friendly at all. Plus, I don't care to see the trash myself, so it's ok.
This week is low key compared to last! Good thing, I have a sickie home today!-ciao
Congrats on 100% FHE, that can be so hard to pull off! We're doing alright, if you count the Risk game that we started last night.
My week is busy, but manageable.
I hate thinking of Whitney having that surgery again. I really hope it is better for her the second time around, last time was so sad!
I feel good about my day if the beds are made, kitchen is clean, floors vacuumed, toys picked up, and I managed to do something for myself and/or someone else.
Can't wait for American Idol to start!
Poor Whitney. I could go through last-year's posts to figure out why she needs eye surgery, but isn't it easier if I just ask? I'm terrified of eye surgery so I'm glad she is handling it so well.
I feel accomplished when I organize. If my drawers are clean, the outside isn't so bad. If I can cross things of my list I feel accomplished too.
Thanks for linking Kristy. I noticed your link yesterday and checked out her blog. So thanks!
My week is way too busy and the cold is slowing me down. Hate that but it is all busy from my own doing.
I feel accomplished when I get things done around here without wasting a ton of time. And when I have all the laundry done- something that I have been doing so great on this year. I fell on some ice over the weekend and still feel all stiff so I am moving slow this week. Not a good week to be nursing a sore body.
Not watching AI tonight- probably reading, scrapping or playing Catan with some friends. I hope it is a good one for those that do watch.
I totally understand the whole thing about feeling like you are forgetting something. I hate that, as you read when I forgot to take Tess and her friend to dance. AHHH! You look like you have it under control! Good for you.
My week is not too bad if I don't think about all the things I could be getting a jump on :)
Wish I could dig out my craft room!
Wow, your week is busy!
I love to watch AI...and I did watch Grease on Sunday, I kind of liked it!! I love the sound track, I watched that movie so many times when I was younger, I knew the whole movie word for word!!
I hope all goes well with Whitney.
P.s. I LOVE the book you suggested (These is my words)...I can't put it down!! Thanks!
Congratulations on your new found success with FHE! That's a major accomplishment. I like the idea of watching AFV with the kids. I bet Clayton would crack up b/c someone is always getting hurt of falling (at least from my past recollection of it).
We are totally lying low since umm we have had Monday off, today and now tomorrow. Crazy. Yes, we are American Idol fans here. My favorite part of the show is the first episodes. I can't believe how people really think they sound good and are AWFUL. Good t.v. at any rate.
Way to go on the 100% FHE. That's huge in my book.
I am VERY impressed with your FHE record for 2007. I have a super hard time keeping that up with our kids so little. We have to pretty much pin them down, literally, to get anything accomplished. Perhaps I am going about it the wrong way.
The week is fairly busy but manageable (is that a word?).
We love American Idol and just double checked to make sure it will be recording while we are gone. It is one of the things we can watch as a family, despite some swearing and immodesty.
I feel accomplished when I can see that something is completed. I hate things in progress or not really knowing what I did with the day. It doesn't have to be major, beds made, floor vacuumed, calls made, vt, really anything that can be crossed off my list.
I just saw that Michelle used "manageable" and spelled the same way I did so know I know it is a real word.
Good luck with Whitney's surgery. What a brave girl! I haven't been watching Grease but I did just rent Bride & Prejudice, the Indian version of Pride and Prejudice. It was very Grease-like. The director was mixing Bali-wood with Hollywood. Interesting, very colorful, I can't decide if I like it or not but I am intrigued with the dancing and music.
My week has been crazy so far, but think it will start slowing down tomorrow.
I can't wait to see the new and improved room...when you finish it. I'm with you I love discovering new things and realizing they are in fact not lost. Good Luck to you.
I'm recording idol.
I can't wait for AI either! I have book club tonight (same book as you guys just did, how is that for coincidence?) so I will have to watch it later.
Good luck with your BUSY week!
**How busy is your week looking? im wondering if i should take a picture of the calendar?? like you SOMETHING everyday..ugh.
What makes you feel accomplished in a day? i like amie's list..i'd prefer someone else doing it though..
Will you be watching American Idol tonight?** i think so..i dont really care too much for the beginning shows..so we'll see..
NICE on the fhe! and i say sunday is great for it! like i say, mine is about 7 -20 minutes long but its EVERY monday!! and thats what matters is that its everyweek no matter what day or how long..just that it happens..
It's nice to record Idol and then breeze through the try outs - I get so embarrassed for those that really think they can sing and are so terrible! - Congrats on the 100% FHE thus far! I really think that is so important! I need to do better myself! - I am getting nothing done this week as we are snowed in - literally. - I loved watching GREASE and was dumbstruck when that girl left her boyfriend in a huff like that - LOSER! Did she forget that she was on primetime tv? Geez! - wondering what eye surgery your little one is having. My 12 year old had a lens implant (twice in one eye) this past year due to a tragic/whacky accident involving a PLASTIC piggy bank that lacerated his cornea! So sad to mess with the eyes! Wishing her a successful surgery and you great strength as a Mom with a "little" on the other end!
Nice job with the FHE! It's great to find a plan that works for you. Our FHE's ahve definitely evolved over the years, but two things have remained constant - we have to have a treat (of course!) and play a game. We could still do better at having great lessons, but we always end up having a good time - even if it is a little bit crazy - and I think that's what's important.
So sorry about Whitney's eye. Poor girl. I'll be crossing my fingers and praying that all goes well for her and YOU, too.
This week is busy (every week seems busy to me!), but not CRAZY BUSY like things are sometimes. To be a good "on top of it" day for me, I like to make sure things are picked up around the house (doesn't have to be sparkling clean - just picked up - at least on the main floor!), read my scripturees, do some sort of exercise, and read with my kids.
We're tuning into American Idol again and happily so, but thank goodness I can tivo it - I think the commercials have increased ten fold from last season! The beginning of the season is the best with all the wacky try-outs. Do you think they are all serious when they try out? Don't you think some of them might just be acting bizarre just to get on TV? I could be wrong, but come on, who seriously comes dresses as Appollo Creed to try out?! Don't they know that no one who comes in costume ends up going very far?! But I still can't help myself, when they get tossed out of the room, I feel bad for them, especially when they cry and think they were really good. I have to admit, my symapthies generally fade a bit if they rant and rave after they get out of the room, though. And why in the world don't they just put a sign on the side of the door they are supposed to exit through?! I don't know why this bugs me, but it does. Did Paula seem a little more out to lunch than ususal last night? I thought so.
Have a great, busy week!
I made a presentation for work that went well and I also made tiramisu for the work meeting. It was a hit. I love good tiramisu.
I have things I need to get done, cards to make, good mail to send, Christmas to take down and put away...
Busy week here too. Just like last week. I just don't like it so busy. I hope next week calms down a little bit. Oh, and I watched the end of American Idol last night and will be watching tonight for sure!!
My week didn't look like it was going to be busy, but has turned out that way.
I can only really feel some sense of accomplishment if I've actually completed something that I had planned to do during that day.
American Idol was entertaining as usual last night. We are so happy to finally have some good TV to watch again.
