frenzied dinner option

I can't believe its Thursday!!
Its been a long week.... *sigh*

This weekend is Bam's Confirmation so there's a bunch of last minute things to be done.
Then next week the final day for filing taxes is approaching.
THERE IS SO MUCH TO DO......

Uhhh...... I think pizza for dinner is on order for tonight.
Normally we make our own homemade pizza so this is a rarity for us.
So today, we decided to pick up a pizza pie and drinks from (where else) Costco, of course.

Veggie Pizza and Sprite night.

Mmmmm.....

FIRE, FIRE, Please put out the fire in my throat.....

Awk...

This is how my throat feels as I battle a sore throat.......

So very glad none of the children are ill.

But I'd rather be ill than to let them go through the suffering.

I'll try my hardest to continue on, despite feeling slightly defeated.....

Ding-Ding----Round one is over (you haven't won yet throat ick)

Round two is next and I'll be armed (I'm certain--after seeing my doc today)

Luckily blogging doesn't require an audible voice because right now I don't have one.

fluffy, puffy pillows under my head.......

The weekend is here......

 My Bam is in Santa Fe for state competition tournament.

Fifi, Sweetheart and Cookie are excited to make this a girls weekend.

--Sorry babies, not today.....

Mommy's throat is irritated and I feel feverish  

 I can't get ill.... I'm a busy mum.

Ohhh no..... I feel woozy now.

Fifi says,"Relax-Rest-and Recuperate Mommy" as she fluffs a pillow for me.

Cookie and Sweetheart assured me, "Don't worry, we're here for you...."

So lucky to have the best children in the UNIVERSE

alarm clock shock

It's Friday

What an exciting and exhausting week we've had!

We're trying to get used to getting up very early, getting dressed (washed and brushed), remembering backpacks, lunches or lunch money. Plus all the items they'll need for their elementary, middle and high school lives, their extra curricular activities and breakfast, all before we head out the door. 

In the evenings we're washing, drying and setting out the clothes and hair accessories. Dinner, nightly bathes, finding shoes, sweaters and packing mid day and after school snacks in their backpacks.

Plus we must keep our commitment of nightly homework, daily football practice, volunteer time, family time and somewhere squeezing in dog walks and playtime.

Whew..........
