Where's Waldo?

My apologies, but lately I just can't seem to find the time for blog entries.  Just to give you a peek into JulieWorld, here's what last week looked like on my calendar...


Sunday - Wednesday ...
Four Grandma Days while Jay and Colleen enjoyed some time with old friends in Orlando. Fortunately I had a bit of help on Sun/Mon due to the Labor Day holiday.  Tuesday was a "quiet" day home with Fin.  On that Wednesday Fin had swim lessons in the morning while Meg had cheer followed by tutoring at Barnes and Noble after school.

Thursday-Friday ...
My girlfriend Cristina visited Thursday AM until Friday PM.  She accompanied me to my local book club meeting Thursday night.  Friday evening Fin was back for an overnight stay followed by another Grandma Day while both his parents were at work.  Meg had an American Sign Language event at the mall Friday evening but fortunately Randy took care of the transportation.

Saturday ...
Grandma Day ...  'Nuff Said :-)

Sunday ...
I drove Meg and a friend down to West Palm where we went to two different malls looking for shoes to go with Meg's Homecoming dress.  We had a great time shopping and were eventually successful in finding somewhat dressy flat shoes for the tall girl who will be wearing a short dress.  :-)  We were gone most of the day and the 10,000 steps I registered on my pedometer should give you an idea of how much walking/shopping we did.  *insert bulging eyeballs here*



Here's how my this week is looking as of today...

Monday ...
I was able to get back to Zumba after missing all of last week due to other commitments.  It was great to be back but I'm exhausted.  Meg has tutoring after school (which means a trip to her former middle school) and then Fin will arrive for an overnight visit.

Tuesday - Wednesday ....  
Grandma Days for Fin and I.  Tuesday he has swim lessons in the morning.  Meg has cheer after school.  Wednesday he and I will be attending Meg's first home football game.  (Could be interesting. LOL!) and I'll take him home later in the evening to meet up with his parents once they're off work.

Thursday ...
Hopefully back to Zumba for me.  Meg's cheer squad will be walking in the Homecoming Parade later that evening.  I may take Fin if he's available.  *wink*

Friday ....
More Zumba in the AM.  The Varsity Homecoming Game is this evening and the JV Squad will be joining the Varsity squad in cheering.

Saturday ...
A morning mani/pedi appt for Meg followed by a hair appt in the afternoon.  The Homecoming Dance is that evening.  Not sure if I have Fin that night so the logistics of who she's going with and how's she's getting there have yet to be worked out.


I'm hoping to fit in some "play time" in my craft room this week.  I tend to get a bit grouchy if I don't have some time for me in between all of the above and regular errands, etc.

And Grandma Days?  They consist entirely of feeding/changing/playing/playing/playing with Fin. He is such a good boy and we have a lot of fun together.

Speaking of Fin...while I don't get on the computer much to blog you can find regular updates on my Instagram accounts.  Look me up and send me a friend request.  For my personal stuff (a private account) I'm 2GenMom.  There you can find out all kinds of Fin cuteness as well as what I'm doing, eating and yes, drinking.  *wink*  I also have a second account (public) for my crafty stuff.  You can find me by first and last name, which for obvious reasons I'm not posting here.  Those of you who know me will be able to find me.  :-)

So that's my life in a (sorta) nutshell.  I'm hoping to have my Grandma schedule for the next month later today so I can plan out my next several weeks.  Subbing has been out of the question recently but if this next month's schedule permits, I do have days lined up.  Today though I think I'm going to just do a bit of quiet vegging while I'm alone in the house.  :-)
