Super Saturday #3

Kinda late on Super Saturday... I know... unlike me right?  Hah, not this week.

And I needed today to be more Super than Awesome.  It's been a draining week. We're fully back in the swing of school and after school activities.  I've seen the inside of my van more than my house this week... whew... I'm feeling OVERCOMMITTED to my kids activities.  And it's bitterly cold out the last few days... the urge to eat fattening foods and hibernate for a month or two is pretty strong.

On my agenda for Super Saturday: 

-- Volunteer at the kids' school's Monthly Fundraiser (which I'm training to be the co-chair...). 

-- Stop in my favorite store and browse

-- Stop at the grocery store and pick up cat food.

-- Laundry mountain!

My reality for Super Saturday:

-- Volunteer at fundraiser... pretty sure I was the worst co-chair trainee today.  Honestly... I wanted to sleep in today

-- Stop in at my favorite store and browse... my daughter had a stinking meltdown because she needed $12.95 to buy a book and she only had $6.  Sorry... babe... do some extra chores and you'll have that money in NO time.  She did not like that at all.  But her pouting and tears made me want to help her out even less.

-- grocery store... ugh... it was too close to noon to have been a nice calm visit.  Again, I don't like shopping on Saturdays and I did it AGAIN this weekend.  Will I never learn?

-- Laundry mountain... I got the pile folded, but it's not put away and there's the "waiting in the wings" batch that needs to be washed, dried, and folded... Soothing Sunday is going to suffer a bit!

There's only one way to have a Super Saturday... that's to stay on task during the week to keep on top of things so weekend work is minimal.  This week, that wasn't a possiblity for me, because I had some personal emergancies to tend to (well, okay... that sounds bad, but visiting someone in the ER trumps laundry any day!  So it was someone else's emergancy that I [without question] had to assist with and that person is okay.).  Things didn't go according to my plans this week and that, frankly, makes me GRUMPY.  So here I am on Saturday evening, feeling more tired because I'm grumpy at all the things that have piled up. 

Yep, I'm human... but since I'm awesome, I'm going to roll up my sleeves and dig in.  The reality is... it's all a pile of minor stuff and if I just make a list and tackle it... Soothing Sunday is still possible.  So I'm going to champion early Mass attendance so I can get my shizzle done before noon.  So my daughter and I can finally watch Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.  And yes, I own the DVD!
