I feel like i have a lot to accomplish and little time to do it.

Your favorite lessons from Lunchlady Land will return shortly. School is back in session (gulp) on the 25th. That is just around the corner.

In the meantime, I have to clean the kitchen on Monday, attend Lunchlady Land training on the Tuesday (which may end up being a blog post in and of it's self) and then the following Monday I have to attend a mandatory first day meeting...thankfully only until 10:30.

All of this is cutting into my pool time... *** smile ***

As of this weekend, here's what i need to accomplish:

• Get a birthday present for my nephew (his party is tomorrow)
• Cut out the bulletin board pieces I laminated.
• Finish cutting on the cricut the other pieces I need for the other bulletin boards.
• Label the gazillion photos i had taken last week and possibly post a few of them. We finally got a family picture!
• Laminate some newspaper articles

This is probably enough. I don't want to over do it.

• Finish Little G's birthday invites: I need to finish these up if I expect to have a party on the 17th. Hello...note to self it's already October.
• Survive early a.m. soccer: Why oh why do we have soccer at 9 a.m. and have to be at the field at 8:30 a.m. on a Saturday???? It's Saturday. It's October. It's Pennsylvania. It's cold.
• Grocery shop: This is self explanatory. However, I need to stress that we really have NO FOOD. I haven't a clue what we will eat this evening for supper.
• Determine what scrapbook supplies I need for my trip: I said last week that my trip to the beach was falling apart around me, but we managed to pull our sh** together and rent a place and stop bitchin'. Which, with a large group of women, isn't as easy as it sounds.
• Go to Target: I need some supplies for my laminater and Target is the only place that carries them.

If I haven't bored you to death...share what you have planned this weekend.

On a completely separate note, hilarious blogger Jenners is hosting a new game. Which is to write a version of William Carlos William's poem, This Is Just To Say,

Here is the original

I have eaten
the plums
that were in
the icebox

and which
you were probably
saving for
breakfast

Forgive me
they were delicious
so sweet
and so cold


Here is my version of the poem.

I have
decided not to
listen to
the drama

which you
were no doubt
surprised to
learn

that mommys
can indeed ignore
whines and wails
it's true.

Some of you who popped by this morning or over the weekend saw my post with the hail storm photos. Whew...we still haven't fully recovered from how crazy that really was.

I figured out my mileage for DH and the total came to almost $1,000; I guess that will work out to my benefit. Good thing I kept track.

After much debate and a few comments, I decided to keep the scrapbook page just as it is. It is growing on me.

The birth announcements for my friend are 90 percent complete. I still haven't taken a photo. They are very simple, but I think that she will like them. I'll post a pic tomorrow.

All 34 pages I made last weekend are now in a new scrapbook album. I love it. Nothing beats getting all those into page protectors!

The house is very quiet because all of the bambinos are at school and I'm tempted to just blog all afternoon, but alas laundry is beckoning and I must run the vacuum. Dog hair is over taking my home!

What did you accomplish this weekend?

1. Take oldest for her 10 year pictures.  I debated if I really wanted to do this.  We have fall school pictures and spring school pictures.  We all know that the older they get the less their looks change, but I think I'm still going to take her to Sears for pictures with the big number 10.  It's been a tradition since my kids were wee little and I think I will regret it if I don't do it.  I figure I won't take her again until she turns 15.
2. Figure out my work milage from 2008 so my hubby can get to work on the taxes.  Maybe if I hand over all of my information it will motivate him get started.  After all, the clock is ticking.
3. Figure out why I don't like this scrapbook layout:

In only a few short hours I will be heading north for my scrapbook weekend.  Yeah!  I'm so looking forward to this.  It's been almost a year since I've seen my friend, Megan, and I really need a weekend just for me.

Here are five things I hope to do:

• Go to Chili's for dinner tonight.  I really like their mushroom Jack fatijas....not to mention their giant margaritas.
• Scrapbook six months of photos.  That is not really possible, but it's good to have goals.  LOL
• Get in the hotel jacuzzi!  Self-explanatory.
• Call my sister every 15 minutes on Saturday to find out how things are going at the Walk to Defeat Juvenile Diabetes in Greenville, N.C.
• Sleep as long as I want!

P.S. Everytime I've clicked on my blog lately there has been a new follower! This makes me uber happy. If you aren't following, what's stoppin ya???

1. Make at least 10 more scrapbook pages.  I just got a big package of pictures in the mail and they are calling my name.  It goes something like this "Don't do the laundry...it can wait.  Come.  Come and scrapbook.  You know it will be more fun."
2. Upgrade my phone.  This has been on my list for sometime now.  My plan was up in January and I still haven't managed to upgrade the little bugger.  It is freezing up on me and causing me grief.  I don't think it is reliable.  Plus, between you and me, I really want a little keyboard as I'm addicted to texting.
3. Take the kids to the park.  We are supposed to have wonderful weather this weekend and my oldest got a new bike for her birthday.  I think she is a little intimidated by the size of it and really needs a nice day to find out how easy it is to ride.
4. Watch one of my NETFLIX movies and post a review.  I'm tired of keeping these things for more than a few days.  I feel like I'm not getting my money's worth. 
5. Pay the handful of bills I have on the counter.  After my Paypal Hacker disaster, I've yet to get all of my bank/credit cards in order and I really need to pay a few bills.  While this is tedious and hardly can be described as fun, I still need to get this done.

What do you hope to accomplish?
