Birthday (?) Weekend

Life in a Nutshell
And so, I just placed my first order with Albertsons.com, supposedly guaranteeing me at least a few extra hours this weekend to.........

1. Make 50 eggrolls for a belated First Communion Party for DS#1 and 4 other friends who will be making their First Communion this Saturday. Approximate attendance: 150 people. Glad I'm not in charge!

2. Cook a ham for same party.

3. Attend t-ball game Saturday before huge party.

4. Attend chaotic party and attempt to keep track of kiddos, especially DD#2.

5. Go to mass.

6. Attend my weekly sacrificial ritual where I run up and down an over-sized field wheezing incessantly.... you know, my soccer game!

7. Go to dinner and a "Da Vinci Code" talk given by a very important friend of mine....... no, I'm not name dropping! :)

8. Birthday? Oh yeah. I turn 34 sometime during all of this. I think it's Saturday. Yup.

So, as I'm watching my girls swing and jump and climb to ridiculous heights on the monkey bars, and see my boys join the others in a game of baseball, and as I visit with the other moms, I will thank God for my blessings and ask Him to continue to let me enjoy this time, these moments........to help me to appreciate what He has given me.
