Time to relax

This has been such a busy week. I had to work on Tuesday evening. Wednesday was Ash Wednesday service and our choir had to sing. Oh, and I had to make a salad earlier in the week for a funeral that day. On Wednesday evening we found out another member of the congregation died and that funeral was to be today, Saturday. Our choir was asked to sing for that. Thursday night was the only night that we actually could stay home and relax. There was a big winter storm on Thursday, so I got to come home early from work too!! Yeah! Then Friday was rush rush when I got home.

As soon as I got home, I helped KJ straighten her hair as she was going to go with us even though it wasn't our week for kids. Brian and I changed clothes and we headed over to the local fireman's Friday fish fry. When we got there the line was sticking out the door of the fire station and winding inside. We waiting 45 minutes to an hour before we could get our fish, etc. It was getting close to 7:00 pm and we had to get going to a danceline performance where we were meeting friends from out of town. Their daughter was performing. Luckily we made it in plenty of time to spare, but I think I could haven't eaten more fish!! Oh, well good enough for my diet. Besides it was a little greasy and I have been trying really hard the past month to eat healthy and I think the grease didn't set that well in my stomach. After the performance we went to the local bowling alley where our friends sat with the mother of one of their daughters and discussed buying a car for her upcoming 16th birthday party. That was interesting to sit in on. But, a nice change to see exes sit together in a relaxed atmosphere and talking amicably about their mutual charge. I really wish that we could do that with Brian's ex. I don't ever see that happening.

So, then after we got the kids all off to where they were going to be for the night, the other couple and Brian and I had a nice night out. Fun, laughter and conversation.

But, then it was up again and ready to go this morning. Had to take buns to the school for some peewee tournament that the rec board was putting on. Not sure why I still get asked to donate them, but I do. Two packages of buns every year. I guess it is the least I can do for the school kids. I'm just glad that I don't have to work the concessions all day. After dropping those off, it was on to the funeral. A little warm up singing before hand then sit through the funeral. It turned out to be an interesting one. I found out a little bit about the man and who he was related to that I knew. It is nice to be in a small community sometimes. I think the choir did an excellent job.

While I was doing this, Brian was doing his good deed by helping the neighbor move his daughter for the fifth time within a year. Luckily, she is young and they only had to make one trip. They loaded Brian up around 10:00 and he was home shortly after me. I made us a big breakfast/brunch and after our tummies were full, we laid down to a nap after our short night. And now here I am posting on my blog late in the afternoon. And, the fun just keeps repeating itself for every week from now until probably mid summer. Oh, isn't life fun when you have things to do!!
