Tuesday Ten

1 I didn't realize that Christmas Eve is on Saturday. What the heck is wrong with me?

2 Well, it could be that we have been pretty busy. Monday, yesterday, I helped make ornaments with the 5th graders, who included my son Harrey.

After school, I drove Hermionie to her concert call and came back 40 minutes later to watch the concert. Right after the concert I drove to the high school for a meeting about the band trip, which is next week.

3 Screeching halt today. Ronn the red had a half day so we took advantage of the $5 footlong subs at subway. He polished one off before I was done with my half. Unreal.

4 Harrey the younger needs to get a couple of phone numbers so that he can get together with some classmates. The kids that he is friends with all have learning problems. Oh, well.

5 Actually,when I was in school, I had friends who had learning problems so who gives a rip?

6 I had a good pity party on Monday. No one was invited, just me. I feel like I don't get out enough with friends. So I prayed about it and cried behind my sunglasses as I walked my dog.

7 In response, we were invited to our friends house on Christmas eve and to another friend's house on Christmas day.

8 I had a hard time getting something for Harrey. Now, Harrey had a Christmas wish list of about 10 things. He knew that he would only get one, possibly two items. I asked what he wanted and he wanted a specific game.

Hermionie is getting a boom box and Ronn the red is getting a camera. Was it fair to only get him a game?

I got him the specific game. I don't want to encourage video...oh, who am I kidding?

9 Would you guys like me to read my Tuesday Ten sometime? You get to hear my vocal inflections.

10 I am so excited to have my kids home, if only for a bit.

Hermionie will be going on a youth retreat for 3 days 2 nights.

Ronn the red will be going on the band trip for several days.

Which leads me to my youngest. We'll be doing something, probably involving downtown and a museum, at least once. He can't wait for next year when he'll be old enough for youth group.

10 a I think I need to make some cookies to get myself in the Christmas spirit. I've been letting my daughter do the cookie baking but I think it's time for me to get baking too.
