"I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days attack me at once." -- Ashleigh Brilliant
That's how I've felt all this week. I am definitely behind on just about everything I should be doing and need to do here at the house!
I've been feeling all week that Eler Beth is needing some extra attention from me, so I thought Saturday afternoon maybe she and I could go do something together. When I asked her what she'd like to do she said, "Go shopping!" I didn't know it but Thomas had been thinking that she was acting like she needed a little more attention from him also, and he also wanted to get Andrew out to do something, so he asked them if they'd like to go night fishing Friday night. They did, and I had the house to myself all Friday evening and night, but I didn't get too much done. I had to work Saturday morning, so I knew I couldn't stay up too late without paying for it.
They got in Saturday morning about 4:30 with seven very large catfish! They were Blue Cats -- good eatin'! They dragged all their stuff in and collapsed into bed; except for Eler Beth! She kept coming in our room to tell me that she couldn't sleep! When I got up to go to work she was still up and she had woke up Andrew so he and she could play a game. Thomas got up too and was getting prepared to take pictures of the fish. I'll try to post some here soon. I went to work for four hours, grabbed some lunch and came home. When I got home all three of them were asleep. That sounded like a good idea to me, too, so I climbed into bed beside my hubby and took me a little nap, too!
When I got up they were cleaning the fish; then Eler Beth and I got cleaned up and went to the mall. We hit Kay-B toys first, then Walden Books, then mosied along to all our other favorites. I came out of it pretty good. I don't think I spent quite a hundred! I got this neat book at Walden Books that was on clearance: THE COMPLETE BOOK OF CREATIVE SCRAPBOOKING, like I really need another one! But it has a nice section in it on "altering books", and I've been wanting to try that. When I'll have the time is another question!
Everyone slept well last night, needless to say. We made it to the meeting this morning, grabbed somelunch and came on home. I have done three loads of laundry, and that is about the extent of the housework I've done this weekend! Thomas has cooked, Andrew has done the dishes, and Eler Beth keeps dragging things out of her room because she wants to rearrange things. It's absolutely too hot and humid to go outside. With the heat index it is 104* out there! I'm going to clean my bathroom, and everything else can wait for tomorrow! Too hot to walk, so it's crunches again tonight!

I presume Eler Beth is your daughter? My youngest daughter is named Leah Beth, but she doesn't like Beth. I can't understand why. Paula
