Where My Brain is Right Now....


Youth Conference planning. 

Emails, phone calls, last-minute scrambling, 18 watermelons dropped off on our door step, practice session of leather branding, looking for a wheelbarrow to borrow, thinking up 50 appropriate skit ideas, figuring out how to nicely tell someone that we found someone else to be in charge of their station when they couldn't decide,  going to the store, going to pick up a rental truck only to find the rental store had closed early, etc.... 

All that in amongst a 10 hour day of volunteering at Cub Scout day camp, 5 hours taking a mandatory volunteer slot at a swim meet, a feverish and coughing Ellie, a routine doctor visit, visiting teaching, and all the while trying to keep the kids happy, dressed in somewhat clean clothes, and eating somewhat healthy meals. 

In other words, don't ask me to do anything requiring any brainpower right now.  I'm thinking that the .0000000000001% unused brain cells I have left should probably be kept intact for remembering how to sleep.

    Hey L, I was wondering could you help me with my math homework tomorrow? ;)

    Good luck with everything you need to do!

    And have you finished up my new blog book that you are publishing?
    Thought this was going to be ready yesterday! ;o)

    Honestly Lara, you never cease to amaze me. You get more done in a morning than I accomplish all week.

    Not only are you a full blown Type A, but honestly a Type AAA+

    Hope you get a week or two sometime this summer to just slow down and read a good book or two and take care of yourself.

    We love you.

    Did you get a rental truck despite it being closed early? How is Ellie doing now? Hard to believe how busy you guys are. I think the wristbands are pretty cool and turned out very nicely. How did Youth Conference go anyway?

    Welcome home! Magnificent job of keeping the herd entertained on Friday. Now that you are back home time for a long hot shower-an extra nap and a day or three to pamper yourself. We will expect any new blogs until mid-week, so just relax.

    I think Spencer's lime green shoelaces totally make the pioneer outfit!

    I bet you're pooped. Hope you've carved out some time to chill out!
