I'm here -- kind of!

Second part of my whirlwind week:

We lucked out twice with the weather. At least I am happy. We had a few snowflakes in the air on Wednesday morning. Other places had real snow, and as a result Holly's riding lesson was postponed. The kids and Robert were wishing for real snow here though.

I was able to get next week's school schedules written on Thursday. (Of course, I might not get them typed up until Monday morning . . . )

Yesterday morning, the weather was bad again, icy roads and a head on accident on the highway we take to Roanoke. All was clear in the afternoon for my lovely minor female-type surgery. It went fine. I stayed in a pain med-induced stupor and went to bed by 8:00. I'm not in any pain; I'm just working hard at preventing it. :) Each time I tried to crawl out of bed this morning, I returned ten minutes later. Again, no pain, definitely a good thing! Even my face is numb.

I was able to make my appearance at the neighbor's jewelry party. After getting my car stuck in their driveway (it's across the street, but I drove), I called Robert to rescue the car. Once inside, I stumbled over an unexpected step, but at least I wasn't the only one. The most amazing thing is that I didn't fall flat on my face.

Trevor really had wanted to go to the local homeschool group Christmas party tonight. Knowing that I wouldn't be up for making the potluck food, I asked him what he wanted me to bring. "Stouffer's Macaroni and Cheese," he suggested. Ah! Perfect! I pulled it out of the freezer, baked it in the over, and stuck it in my own casserole dish. It was the second dish to disappear tonight, right after someone else's chicken nuggets. :) And Robert made chocolate chip cookie bars. We stayed at the rather small party for two hours, leaving before the group went caroling.

So far, so good. Now I'm ready for bed.

I'm sure I'm forgetting something, but it doesn't really matter. I'm not at the point of remembering much yet.

Yawn.
