Happy Monday, everyone! What's on your schedule for this week?

This is going to be super busy and emotional week. Today, I have to go and stand in line at the DMV. Blech. Tomorrow, work work work. On Wednesday, my mom is flying in to visit. Yay!!! So, I will be heading to the airport and pick her up. On Thursday, my baby is graduating from Pre-K and leaving her preschool. *sobs* They are having a little ceremony followed by a picnic lunch. As if that was enough, my teenager has her 8th grade farewell ceremony on Friday. *sobs again* I'm proud of them both but it's so bittersweet for this mama's heart. I have a list a mile long of things to do to get ready, so I am going to kick it into high gear this morning.

I hope everyone has a wonderful week. :wub
 
Wow, two graduations in one week! They are always a little bittersweet.

Should be a quiet week, at least for me. My son has his AP tests this week so will be studying for those. If he's pretty caught up he'll go camping this weekend with scouts. A free weekend for me means scrapping!
 
This week is looking pretty plain jane for me I think. Just work, finishing putting together Jennah's bed which we didn't finish this weekend, and yard work still. NOthing too exciting. :)
 
My mulch was just delivered. Yay? LOL

I am feeling pretty on top of things that I have mulch already in mid May. Usually it's more like August before I'm ready for it. :rofl

BRB in 12 hours, have 5 yards of it to spread. /faint
 
You can tell it's close to the end of school for us. This week I'll be at the school every day for media center help, pantry help, Cookie Dough distribution, a prize party for the top cookie dough sellers, the musical showcase and helping in the 3rd grade class that I volunteer in....super busy week.
 
Laura, I'll be thinking of you this week. It is so bittersweet to see your kiddos go through those big milestones at the same time.

We have a busy week too! I'll also be at the school almost everyday this week as well, for volunteer stuff and for one of my son's performances. My dad is coming into town today and we have the usual schedule of baseball and soccer games and swim practices.
 
Lots of things going on here. First, I'm waiting for my bamboo tablet (mother's day gift!) to get arrive. Then, there's the Guest Polly announcement :giggle Biting all my fingernails here!! Also, I'm sort of helping my sister with her birthday party that will take place at the end of the this month. :D
 
Mostly just cleaning and a bit of school work here for the first of the week. Then Homeschool Group on Wednesday and on Thursday we're heading out for the weekend to visit friends from our old neighborhood and going to a Ren Faire. Really looking forward to a long weekend away.
 
Let's see... tonight will be my belated Mother's Day celebration. DD was completely wiped out from camp and was totally distraught that she hadn't been able to finish whatever she is working on for me, so we postponed that bit. ;) Tuesday DD has a recognition breakfast for the Safety Patrol and I have my library shift. Thursday night is Girl Scouts. Friday is DD's Field Day (which was supposed to have been last week, but it got rained out), and Friday afternoon DS has a sax concert. So a little busier than usual, but nothing super major. :)

The talk of mulch reminded me that I really should get out and trim our tree though. The branches are hanging over the sidewalk again. Ugh. I usually can't lift my arms the next day after I do that. LOL
 
It's fun reading the "haps" of everyone's life. Yeay for the bamboo tab!! I love mine although I don't use it nearly enough.

This week is going to be about settling into my new apartment. I'm very tired, I spent the weekend out of town and 12+ of those hours were driving. We have no furniture here yet, and still have so much to do.
 
Busy week here too... all the regular with soccer plus a 5 game tourney this next weekend for my DD, BUT we are starting to wrap up some activities like orchestra - last week was the final performance for my DS who made 6th grade honors orchestra, so it meant extra weeks of practice, rehearsal, and performance. Glad he got the experience, but also glad to be done schlepping him all over!

I get to see Marie Osmond tonight as part of a Women's Lecture Series called "Smart Talk" - maybe some of you have that too where you live. I know it's in different cities. If you do have it, but don't attend, I can say it's been worth every penny! I go with a group of friends and we carpool and eat dinner together...discuss it etc. So fun! This week is my 4 day work week, so I'll be packing all my errands into today:)

My 6th grader is getting ready to have a farewell ceremony and celebration too, so I relate Laura...can't believe it's time for middle school already?!
 
today was somewhat heavy and emotional, cause lina got her ear-tubes today...all went pretty good and she was such a big & brave little girl!!!

Work wise it's going to be an easy week, cause I only have to work on Friday. On Wednesday my aunt & uncle from the states are flying back home :(, but on Thursday we've got a fun afternoon planned, cause I'm hosting my SIL's secret babyshower! Can't believe my lil brother will be a daddy in 5 weeks!! *sigh*

This week is soccer M&W and both nights DH happens to be busy - with church group doing Not a Fan course, and with serving the homeless at the downtown mustard seed organization. Then we have football equipment pickup for my 9-year-old (second year playing Atom football).

I've got to squeeze in a chiropractic adjustment for our dog who is recovering from knee surgery - she's overcompensating using her other legs and is now lurching because she's thrown her spine out of alignment. Might also get her an acupuncture treatment to help with the pain and swelling (I think my dog gets better medical treatment than I do now). Luckily our regular vet does both - she's an amazing vet.

Plus both kids have field trips and want me to skip work to help out, but that isn't likely with my work deadlines. So I'm going to have unhappy kidlets for a couple days.
 
Normal week here. Dentist appointment DD tomorrow. Should be interesting since I think they are going to do x-rays. Crossing my fingers that every things turns out good and don't go down the bad teeth road that we've been on with older sister. Playgroup on Wednesday...if it doesn't rain. Friday we is the BIG ultrasound to find out if it's a boy or girl.

So jealous of all you ladies who are going into your kids school this week. Our school does not allow younger children to come with mom's so I don't get to help in the classroom. It makes me sad. : (
 
Tomorrow the hubby and I are going to see and meet Christina Perri and Wednesday we are taking Ezra out to spend some of his bday money. Thursday he works so nothing that day and Friday just our regular routine of running and errands and things :)
 
This week is the last week of school before summer vacation! I have so much around the house stuff to get done before the 2 crazies are here every day. I need to make sure the 3yo and I get some quality time in too. We also have Kindergarten graduation on Friday, but I think that's about it for this week. It's a lot more low key than last week.
 
I am glad I took today off today because I am just plain exhausted from the weekend(Kenzie's bday sleepover, etc). Soccer is over now so we do not have soccer practice anymore until September. I am sure work is going to be horrific tomorrow after being off for 3 days. Nothing much else really going on this week.

Kenzie's 5th grade graduation is going to be at the end of this month. Poor Laura having 2 in one week. But atleast your Mom will be here...
 
Not a whole lot going on here. I'm working, Hubs is working, kid is being babysat. :whistle

I got my work ID badge today. Fun times.

I'll be mostly chugging along looking forward to the weekend. I'm going OOT with Miss Monkey to see some old friends I haven't seen in 5 years and am missing Monday on work to drive back, so I can't wait for that! :giggle
 
I'm going to be crazy at work! I just hope the weather stays nice like it was all weekend. Makes my crazy days a little better!
My computer has been giving me fits so I'm hoping to find some time to go to an Apple store to check out a new laptop.
