another crazy week ahead...

I'm blowing off Menu Plan Monday again. Technically, I suppose I could have done it...I do have a plan, but it's a quite an abbreviated one. Trying a new recipe for chicken sandwiches from the latest Simple & Delicious for supper tonight, making Taco Salad tomorrow (thanks for reminding me of this winner...and for introducing us to it to start with, Kara), making a huge batch of spaghetti sauce for supper Wed. and for freezing for the future. Thursday is the boys' last day of school, and we traditionally take them out to eat, but with soccer, who knows...it will be a play it by ear type of thing. And as for the weekend...we might just go somewhere.

Frankly, I just can't wait for this week to be over. Well, if I can just survive till Friday afternoon, I'll be okay...

*The fourth quarter report for Annie's homeschooling is due on Friday. Last quarter's took me 8 hours to do; I'm guessing this one will as well. I can get it started today, but can't finish it because we still have several things to get finished, most significantly 4 final tests.

*Gray's field day is this morning. Which means Annie won't be getting any school work done.

*Trip to the library tomorrow--to return some books and because sign up for the summer reading program starts then.

*Annie has a flute lesson tomorrow.

*Max's preschool graduation is Thursday morning.

*Need to get teacher gifts. And make treats for both boys' classes.

*Need to make an anniversary card for my parents...and get gift mailed.

*Monday-Thursday evenings are filled with soccer.

*Normal cooking, cleaning, laundry. Well, cleaning may have to wait.

*Throw in a few minutes a couple times a day for wound care. A nice Father's Day hiking outing yesterday ended in a trip to the urgent care clinic yesterday. Gray fell running through a field and took a fairly large slice of skin off his thigh. He's feeling okay now, except during dressing changes. The poor guy has his field day this morning and soccer tonight...hopefully his "boo-boo" won't ruin his good time.

*Anyway, if I survive all this last week of school stuff that lasts through Thursday, I have a trip to the dentist to get 3 fillings replaced to look forward to Friday morning. I'm a major league dentist wimp, so it may be a good thing that I'll be so busy this week and won't have time to dwell on it.

Okay...off to get back to it.

another "finally did"

Can't believe I forgot to mention another thing I finally got around to this morning...I made an appointment for my long overdue first mammogram.

Now, I can't say I'm afraid or even apprehensive about it. (The reason I haven't done it before now has more to do with inconvenience than anything. I know, I know, that's a truly lousy excuse.) Anyway, like I said, it's not that I'm worried. But I am curious about what it's like to have one. I'm assuming it doesn't hurt or anything, right? Is it uncomfortable? Does it take long? Any info that anyone is willing to pass along would be greatly appreciated.
