On My Calendar

While some of my friends are posting about spring break vacations, we just came off of a weekend of Scouting for food and leading worship at church. I'm treading water wishing I could take a week off just to clean my house. KarenW seems to be just as busy and posted her calendar plans for the next month or so. I decided to copy.

In addition to the normal homeschooling and housework, the next two months include:

  • 2 sets of out of town guests (this week & next)
  • 3 girls in dance; recital in May with in-laws visiting
  • 2 kids in piano
  • 3 kids beginning soccer in April
  • 1 son in Boy Scouts (which means a couple of weekend activities in addition to the weekly meetings)
  • 1 husband who is Scout Patrol Committee Chair
  • 4 kids' dentist appointments (I should probably schedule one for myself too)
  • 1 daughter turning 8 on May 2, which necessitates the traditional 8 year old b-day slumber party
  • Cincinnati Homeschool Convention with my beloved. Wanna come? Rumor has it Marshy & JenIG will be there too. You're jealous now, aren't you?
  • Keeping a friend's 4 kids for a long-weekend
  • Begining a new history co-op with another family
  • Finishing up Zoology Co-op
  • Coordinate & facilitate Inspiration Night for Homeschool Group
  • Coordinate Easter/Spring Poetry Recital
  • Celebrate Passover with friends and my mom and dad
  • Easter (with my family)...we might be leading worship too, I'm not sure...
and....
now this is the big one in case you stopped reading long ago...
.....
are you paying attention?
....
....
  • My beloved is PREACHING the next two Sundays at a church here in town!
He's never done this before, so I'd appreciate your PRAYERS!

That's it for now, unless I forgot something, which is highly probably. I'm sure we'll figure out how to squeeze something else in, like a camping trip, a couple of field trips and playdates, or something.

What about you? What's on your calendar?

Grace and Peace,
Angel

Will his sermons be posted anywhere online? I'd love to watch/read/listen in.

God is so good to have given me such a supportive wife!

No need to squeeze anything else in though--coaching a soccer team will suck up any remaining free time:S

I'm glad my kids are still little and don't have social calendars yet. :~)
Sounds like a lot of enjoyable business, though.
How did the preaching come about? What a great opportunity!

GO CHRIS!!!!!!!!!
How exciting. Don't over analyze and all will be great. That's what I tend to do when my husband is talking....uh, over analyze him. :(

No one else gets the same thoughts that a wife gets. haha.

Busy month.
Do you ever slow down?

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Amy said...

How wonderful! I wish we could be there to hear what God has to say through Chris!

Sheesh! And I thought my next month and a half was crazy busy!

(Love the newspaper comic that your daughter made. Might have my kids do one this week. Oooh, that would be a fun thing to make and send out to the family!)

I have an idea: You do your schedule, and I'll do mine, and we'll see who's still standing at the end!

Congratulations to your husband. We will pray for him.
