Hey there! How have you been? Whassup? 😀
I had no plans of going MIA on this blog this week but wow… apparently life had other plans. After the back to back retreats that kicked off the month, then picking up College Son in Mankato with his broken foot… THEN getting stuck home in a snow storm and returning the aforementioned son on Monday in a whit
e knuckled 4 hour drive back to his campus in less than fun driving conditions…
I then proceeded to come home Monday night wiped out from the STRESS driving, Tuesday I worked and then went directly to the grocery store (did not pass go… did not collect my $200) where I picked up my items for book club – was home all of 40 minutes before off to Book Club I went and trust me.. it was awesome, more on that later today… Home around 10 pm, work on Wednesday, then home for an hour then back to work with the students like I do most Wednesdays, then home at 8 pm where I proceed to watch a couple of episodes of Downton Abbey (do not judge.. more on that another day!)…
THEN Thursday I worked, shopped for salad makings, home about an hour and off to mt friends Chad and Amy’s home where I have a tradition now of spending Valentines Day with them as Al (hubby) is usually in Florida this time of year for the equipment auctions. I was at their home until 10 pm then home, one episode on Downton and then bed. TIRED.
This morning I am free until 3 pm where I then drive to the cities for a Board Meeting for camp and then will be back home around 10.
SO yeah… my week has went like that. 😯
Looking ahead, I have a few things going on Saturday but Sunday will be wonderfully quiet and next week is much less crazy train and more chill. YAY!!!
What I miss most in busy times like this is books. I just have not had the time to sit down and enjoy a book for more than a few pages at all this month. Maybe on Sunday…. 😀
Hows your week shaping up? Any fun things planned?
Book Journey 
Wow, what a week! I do admire how you maintain your good cheer in the face of it all…lol
I’ve been enjoying my books this week…The Year of the Gadfly and Blue Jeans and Coffee Beans were both great reads.
More reading this weekend….
I am a bit tired Laurel, but it is a ll good things so I am happy to do them.:D
Whew, I’m exhausted (and incredibly impressed) just reading about your week, Sheila! I hope things calm down a bit for you. I’ve read some good books lately and continue to work on a knitting projects. We’re going to babysit our granddaughter tomorrow night at her house. A quiet weekend so I hope to read and knit some more 🙂
I believe they will… lots of good and busy things 🙂
I’m not as busy as you, but am having trouble keeping up these days too. Thanks heavens for audio books or I’d be in a load of trouble.
I hear you there Kathy, they have kept me going too 🙂
You sure had a busy week! Hope the weekend leaves you more time for you 🙂
Thanks – I think it will 🙂
I was wondering how you were making out with your son at home… glad to see you got him back to school and got home safe. Busy bees get all the honey though, so remember that as you sit with your feet up. 🙂
Thanks, it was treacherous but we made it 😀
Wow, what a busy bee you’ve been this week! I’ve had this week and the coming week off work as ‘holiday’. No real ‘holidaying’, it was more a case of use it or lose the holiday hours, although I am travelling this weekend with my fiance to see my family in Wales, so that should be good.
Glad your travel in the snow went well (well, as well as I imagine driving in snow conditions to be)
I hope you get to enjoy a book at some point! 🙂
I was MIA this past week too because I’m knee-deep in unpacking. Funny how life keeps kicking you in the butt every time you make plans, but what can you do? *shrugs*
Glad that you made it back safe and sound from dropping college son off at school! Driving in snowy conditions is never fun. Have a great weekend!
Amazing how life gets in the way of the important things like blogging.
No judgement here for watching Downton Abbey – you need time to chill out after that week!
I’m feeling pretty much the same right now – my dissertation deadline is the middle of next month, but I have two assignments and a week long field trip to fit in before then too! I’m trying to fit in blogging as and when I can but I’m not going to get stressed about it!
