So here's where we're at….

This is the week before trek.  We have 9 days before GO time (technically 8 since Wed night will be spent in the action too).  I have a MILLION things to do…cut flags, e-mail maps out, meet with all the subcommittees on Thurs night, look up and make copies of more stories, tie yarn around the babies, etc, etc and that's just the stuff on the list – it seems everyday more comes up, and there are a million little things that I can't even list (they're all in my head).

I also have to clean my house because my Dad and Christy are coming to stay with the boys next week and well, I need to make this place at least habitable before they come.

Then we have all the normal stuff of course, homework, piano, Scouts and dinner prep.

Yesterday I took a 2-year old whose mom was rushed to the hospital to have her baby, today I'm watching some friends' boys, and then I coordinated meals for my neighbor who had jaw surgery, putting myself on the list for Wed.  Then another neighbor is needing meals because her FIL is dying.  So I signed up for them too thinking I could just make a big bulk meal…come to find out I need to feed 8-10 people in the one family.  So, I found someone else to do the jaw surgery neighbor, but feel bad of course…

Yowsers.

Any other week, I would be so thrilled to serve (and actually I am anyway because they all need it), but can anyone say overcommitted??

And on top of it all, my sinus infection is coming back.  And I feel crummy.  So much for the amoxicillin.  I went and got Mucinex today – hoping it does the trick.

Sometimes I am my own worst enemy, I think.  🙂

    Oh dear, we are SO alike. Eric hates that my plate is always so full … and I do it to myself :). Hang in there. Sounds like you need dinner!! 🙂 I’d bring you some, but I’m under the weather too. This trek is going to be amazing!!! It will be over before you know it!

    You need Neil MD. sinus rinse… it’s a nasal enema in a box!!! It’s wonderful afterwards, but not fun to do. But it completely clears out your sinuses in minutes. Get it at CVS. Did wonders for David SHumway’s sinus infection. Hope you feel better— you are my HERO!!!

    Can Dana and I come cut the flags and tie yarn around babies while you do other stuff? We can show up with cleaning supplies, too…

    Wish I was there to help you out – meanwhile I think you better depend on Costco for those “larger” meals. Was in charge of a “food drive” for a friend and her family yesterday – amazing what people came up with – such creative meals and ideas – if you can’t bake just take over muffins, croissants,etc. for their breakfast – easier on you – and you have still contributed in your own way!
    TREK, like your friend said, will be over before you know it and you can look back and have such great memories of the making of no doubt will be a successful event!
    Deep breaths MER…
