So, you survived iNSD and here we are on Monday. What do you have planned for the week?

Super crazy week for me. I am the co-coordinator of teacher appreciation week at preschool. We are hosting a breakfast, luncheon and gifts for the teachers this week. I am also making food for DD1's middle school teachers. I still need to make/buy some gifts for a few of the teachers too. iNSD got me a bit behind on that front. DD1 is home from school today with the crud, which I suspect I am catching because I woke up with a super sore throat. Ugh. No time to be sick! I need to shop for Mother's Day gifts and get those sent out as well. On the work front, I will be going through all of those wonderful Guest Polly apps we've gotten. (You have sent yours in, haven't you?!)
 
I have my son's troop Court of Honor tonight where he'll be recognized as one of 7 Eagle scouts since the last one. A hair appointment where I'm REALLY tempted to try out something new. I'm just mailing his high school graduation announcements this morning.

Other than that it's work during the day, scrap at night. I'm looking forward to scrapping with all my new goodies from the weekend!

I do need to get Mother's Day cards for my mom and step-mom this week and get those in the mail.
 
sounds like you'll be busy Laura!

We have a little classroom play on Thursday, but until then, it's catching up on housework that I didn't do all weekend! And scrapping of course! ;)
 
Seems like everyone is busy this week... I'm working most of this week. The boys have dentist appointments and such and I already can't wait until the weekend! Is that bad? lol!
 
We have school Spirit Night tonight, tomorrow is my son's 2nd grade musical, Thursday is the Mother's Day tea in my daughter's Kindergarten class and they have Spring Fling on Friday! Only 2 weeks of school left, so lots of things going on there. Also, my sister ordered a swingset for my kids; it's supposed to be here the end of this week or next and we'll have to put that together before summer vacation starts. Definitely a busy week!
 
Getting everything ready for out trip next week to Chicago! YEA!!!!! ***I'm really excited about this trip!***

This week is graduation week so things are busy around here at work to get all the 'stuff' taken care of before Friday evening. Two of our kids live in Texas so they'll be here next weekend! All-in-all not too crazy around here but enough to keep us on our toes!
 
but did we really survive? huh??? cause the fact that I can't even bring myself to open photoshop today begs to differ. :lol usually I open that as soon I turn on the computer.

and I have absolutely no plans for this week. :p
 
No, Laura, you do NOT have time to be sick! :) Here is hoping your sore throat goes away quickly!

This week is busy for me too...hair appt, Mother's Day celebration at boys school, a couple of medical appointments, Mother's Day gift/card buying, work stuff, etc and etc... just general busy work.

Trish, I am jealous of your no plans for this week! and Renee, I am totally with you in that I can't wait for the weekend!
 
This week is a pretty laid back one for us. Only plans we have are to go to a homeschool group meeting on Friday. Well that and cleaning/laundry/teaching/scrapping...the usual. I have a few goodies I bought this weekend I can't wait to use...unfortunately I spent the weekend mostly not at home so I got hardly any NSD scrapping done. Hoping to get a couple more of the challenges here done before the deadlines today.
 
Aside from working on a guest polly app :flirty ... I'm going to have to be avoiding the digi-world for a few days while I play catch up on school. Bah. Darn those end-of-term obligations. My advisor called me Friday and is freaking out because I have three major things due. She doesn't realize (well maybe she does now) that I am a terrible procrastinator. I do better work under pressure.
 
Oh my goodness, Laura, you are one of those wonder-mom volunteers, aren't you? I only do a minimal amount of volunteering at the elementary school. I took on too much last year, and I got really overwhelmed, so I decided to cut back this year. But even what I was doing then was way less than some. The schools and kids are so lucky to have moms like you! I hope you don't get sick!

It doesn't actually feel like Monday to me. The past two weeks have been such a complete blur that I feel like it must be at least Wednesday. Not too much on the calendar for me this week. DD has a half day of school on Wednesday, so I might need to take her for a little shopping, since she's outgrown most of her summer clothes. She has her first ever overnight on Friday, a camping trip with a few girls from her GS troop, but I'm not going, so I just have the prep to deal with (and all her nervous questions). Other than that it's just the regular stuff around here. I've been feeling a bit under the weather too, so I'm gong to try to get some rest and hopefully fight off whatever this thing is before it gets worse.
 
I can't even breathe I have too much stuff on my to do list. Kyra graduates on the 20th with an open house party on Friday the 18th. The boys have ball practice or games almost every weeknight. I'm trying to fix the house up so it's not too embarrassing if someone has to come inside (the party is in our backyard). I'm also getting my landscaping and yard in shape after two years of neglect because of my back. I also have 4 veggie gardens to plant! Throw in the fact that my family still expects me to feed them every night (grrrr) and I'm in overload mode.
 
This week is our teacher appreciation week, too. I am not coordinating it though! I did signup to help and already did my part. I am the chair of both my kiddos end of year class parties. I am already meeting with the other chairs this week to plan them out because we do one big party per grade level and it's usually a field day type of event. I can't believe there are only three more weeks of school for us!

I also need to shop for Mother's Day gifts. Eeeek!

And I'll be using random.org all day tomorrow to pick some TLP prize winners. :giggle
 
Just work going on here. This is our busiest week next to the week before Christmas. For some reason, my left foot and ankle is swollen though and shoes aren't fitting me well. It's pretty painful too, but I don't have time to sit around and put it up. I've got way too much to do at work.
 
I need to get quite a few things done at work, so it's going to be a busy week, yet again. Nothing special going on, DH is out of town.
 
Happy Monday everyone!

Fairly busy here as well. Hoping to come up with something neat for Bugga's teacher for Teacher Appreciation and the moms for Mother's Day. Need to send a few things in the mail and deal with a couple things (still, again, 18 months later) for my Dad's probate issues. Then on Wednesday afternoon we are driving to San Diego for DG's dental/oral surgery appointment. We'll be back on Thursday after the appointment. And then Friday we are having Bugga's BFF over to celebrate Bugga's birthday, which is next week.

Bugga and DG have some kind of yuck as well (cough, sore throat and the snot) and I'm so hoping I can fend it off as it's sinking in a bit as well.

In the midst I'll be designing and blogging and hopefully scrapping a bit. Woot!

Hope everyone has a fabulous week!

Umm, yeah, totally sent mine in, lol...

Last week was rotten, just plain rotten. But, we are getting an apartment here and move in late this weekend. So I am excited to get that all worked out. We've also talked with the builder and picked out a great area to build a house in the next year. They haven't started the phase we want in so in a few months, we'll be ready to put down some earnest money and pick our lot out!! WOOOT!

So this week WILL get better, I'm determined, but seriously I am so tired of house hunting that I really want to just veg out this week!

This is actually a super busy week for us. A friend is coming over today to help pack; I'm meeting two friends for lunch tomorrow. We have 3 baseball games, 1 baseball practice, 2 soccer practices, 1 soccer game. My parents are coming into town to help us with our moving sale Saturday. There's the actual sale on Saturday, and then I've got to figure out what to buy for Mother's Day gifts and Teacher Appreciation. I'm kinda tired just thinking about it. ;)
 
Work, soccer, work, work, soccer party, work, OFF FRiday! Need to get ready for Kenzie's birthday party Saturday...I am taking a few friends to see Dark Shadows in the afternoon Saturday and then back to our house for pizza, cupcakes, Monster High Shows, etc. A few girls will spend the night. She wanted a Monster High Themed party so all of the decor is Monster High. lol. It is also Teacher appreciation week here.
