Busy Weekend

I am quickly learning that weekends are not for relaxation. In fact, I am busier on the weekends than during the week. Sometimes I take a day off during the week just so I can enjoy the silence and peace. The weekend started with my Friday night date with my son to his Middle School Talent Show and then our movie (but the relaxation ended there).

Saturday I was up bright and early excercising and then driving my daughter to Sturbridge for a girl scout event. I then spent several hours shampooing our carpets and cleaning around the house. After driving back to Sturbridge in the late afternoon to pick up my daughter, I thought my driving was done. However, since the carpet was drying and the furniture was all in the kitchen and dining room, we decided to order a pizza. Guess who was chosen to drive to the pizza place? That's right...Yours truly.

Finally after dinner, we decided to rent a movie but instead of driving, Renee and I walked to the video store so we could enjoy the beautiful weather and get some fitness. (3 mile round trip walk). So I slept very well that night.

Sunday, as usual, was a busy day. Started early in the morning with more excercise. Then I drove our son to church so he could sing with the Teen Choir at the 9am mass. He had to do two masses today because he and Rachel altar served at the 11am mass. I actually had to cantor because our scheduled cantor never showed up. Good thing I am a trained musician because it was all sight read.

After mass, I had more errands to run and then quickly back home by 1:15 to go with my wife and Rachel to her Girl Scout fund raiser. It was a fashion show and well worth it. I have a soft spot for little girls (as most dads do). And yes..I know my daughter has me wrapped around her little finger.....and I love it...

So...next was grocery shopping and doing some copying and preparing for our trade shows this week. Starting to feel a cold come on but I can't afford it at this time. Hoping to get some sleep and start fresh tomorrow.

Long week ahead. Will touch back soon.
