We were at 48° yesterday with wind and off and on rain despite no rain in the forecast and are supposed to be at 55° with rain today. But by Friday we’re supposed to be up to 87° and sunny for 2 days! This weather is completely crazy everywhere. I am hoping it has leveled out by the time we get back from the family reunion and that spring will finally make an appearance. I’m having enough trouble believing we’re in May already. I’m not ready to go from winter to summer, but am ready to pack away the flannels for awhile. I want some spring!

I’m not going to get into specifics, but could use everyone’s prayers for some health issues my mom is going through.

I can’t believe were already a week into May let alone that there are only 232 days until Christmas. Life is passing by all too quickly. I want to make changes to my life to allow me to slow down and enjoy it more.

I’m still all about helping where and when I can, but I will be more selective about it. I was asked last minute to fill in for the kitchen at the Eagles Band Night Saturday for a man who was scheduled to work and had to deal with a family emergency so of course I said yes. Long story short he told one person in charge it was a family emergency and another that it was counseling with his wife. He then proceeded to show up as a guest and danced the night away. Twice earlier this same week I had already had clean up the kitchen he’d left dirty so needless to say I was a bit miffed at the audacity to lie to 2 different people in charge and then act like he did. He didn’t even thank me for filling in for him! People like that just kick the nice right out of me 🙁

I had already talked to a few other people about helping on some other community projects (that are non-Eagle) related for after we get back from the family reunion. I’m going to accept their offers and jump in to help in other areas.

THIS WEEK’S TO DO LIST, PROJECTS & APPOINTMENTS

LAUNDRY & CLEANING A few things to do in order to get packed and then clean up from packing 😀 GROCERIES & ERRANDS I have a pedicure later today and a few errands, but cooking our of the freezer and pantry before we leave for the family reunion. PAPERWORK, PHONE CALLS, PROJECTS & TRAVELS Trying to tidy up some loose ends, but trying to get a hold of some people is like pulling teeth. RECIPE RESEARCH & MENU PLANNING Looking for some spring menu inspiration when we get back. I am working on a Hawaiian Chicken Salad recipe that I have high hopes for.

WHAT’S ON THE DVR/TV

We’ve been cleaning out the DVR before our trip. We also binge watched a few episodes of CARTER with Jerry O’Connell over the rainy weekend.

I’ve been exhausted while falling asleep, but I’m still on Fannie Flagg’s I Still Dream About You.

BREAKFAST is always a work in progress for me – it will generally be hot water and a fruit yogurt 😀
