A Week Off!!!

Woo-hoo!!! Starting Monday I get a whole week off to stay at home and revive my former life as chief cook and bottle washer. Not that I've ever given up that life I've just added to it by leaving the home 2-3 days a week and working somewhere else. Over the last several weeks I've carefully formulated a plan that I'm hoping to execute in perfect detail. First of all, I haven't scheduled anything that would keep me from sticking to my plan. Second, up until a couple of days ago I didn't tell anyone that I was taking the week off. By adhering to #1 and #2 I feel confident that no outside force can deter me from my goal. I have quite an agenda that I plan to accomplish starting with a disorganized room in the basement that has been calling my name since Jeremy got married and vacated it. I'm going to get out my Dickens Village and my Christmas china and get a jump start on the holiday decorating. I'm going to load up the Silver Bullet and take a trip to the DI and drop off a few treasures. I'm going to de-junk and reorganize some drawers and cabinets in the kitchen. I'm going to clean my kitchen windows and blinds. There's the regular stuff too like shopping for groceries, cleaning bathrooms, laundry, cooking, floors, dusting and vacuuming. I also need to prepare a lesson for next Sunday, go to Young Women in Excellence on Wednesday with refreshments and props for the program in tow, I need to go to the temple, I've got to plan and organize our 4th Sunday family dinner which will be our traditional Thanksgiving dinner with our kids. I'm going to walk/run along the Legacy Parkway Trail (everyday). Of course I do need to go to lunch with my friend Linda, her day off is Thursday and I always work on Thursdays so here's our chance to lunch together. I got an e-mail invitation from Amy to go to bookclub Thursday night, I've never been to bookclub before but it's at Rumbi and that sounds yummy and apparently you don't even have to read the book to attend. I'm going to call Tiffany and see if she's going. Today I told Mike that I have so much time to myself next week I think I'll go browse around Costco and see if there's anything we need there (I usually only buy bread and gas at Costco), I told him I have so much free time that maybe I'll start our little fire downstairs and curl up in the lazyboy and watch a movie (I never do that, seriously). Of course I need to set aside an hour or so to do the budget and mail the bills, and whatever I do I can't forget that I'm in charge of the YM/YW combined activity the first week in December and next Sunday is BYC; I've got to have presidency meeting this week so we can get it all organized before BYC meeting. Oh, I've got to present a name to the Bishopric for a new Beehive President since our President just turned 14. This may complicate presidency meeting and organing the combined activity this week. Oh well. I can do it, and I'm sure I'll come up with a few more things to do, after all I have a whole week.
