Super Long Weekend

As the night approaches and the weekend is about to end, I can't believe that I'm still standing. We've had a really long weekend. In fact it seems like one never ending week rolled into the weekend. After you come back home from a vacation there's always a million and one things to do and this past week was no exception. There were several things to do at home but besides that we had 2 birthday party invitations waiting on us when we got back. Also, we already knew about Greg's Christmas party for his office so that made it 3 parties to attend yesterday. I honestly do that know how we managed it. All I can say is that it was not easy with 2 young children. We shouldn't have even attempted it but we did anyway. The 2 birthday parties were at mid-afternoon and they kind of over-lapped so what we did was started at one stayed for a little over an hour, left Greg with Arjay at that party and then Adryana and I headed to the next one about an hour late. Crazy!!
I know but Adryana really wanted to go to her class-mate's party and the other party was for really good friends of ours so we didn't want to not go to that one too. After the second party finished we had just a little over an hour to come home shower and dress for Greg's office party. Greg and Arjay was already home and Arjay only had 45 minutes of nap. Not to mention that Adryana did not nap at all. She's usually okay with not taking a nap sometimes but Arjay really likes long naps so we were really concerned about what the office party would bring. It was really a long day and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone with young children. I'm just glad it's over.
Then today I taught the toddlers (Arjay's class) at church. It was very overwhelming in the beginning but the circumstances that made it difficult were worked out and everything worked out fine. After that I came home and did some more house work. I also had to help Adryana with a school project. I still feel like I'm all over the place trying to catch up since we returned home last Sunday.
On a positive note, I was able to get a few Christmas gifts on Friday. Obviously I am happy about that since I felt like time was running out. I really hope that things calm down really soon but I doubt it because this week is the last week of school and Adryana has her school party. My friend is also graduating nursing school and I'll attend her graduation on Thursday. I'm so proud of you Kev, keep up the good work. Best wishes!
Before you know it Christmas will be here...only 9 more days!
