Thanks to my loving husband for posting this weekend and holding down the fort in my absence; I was on a whirl wind of a weekend and did not sit down at the computer until today…..sigh! It began with MOPS (Mother’s of Pre-schoolers!) on Friday and didn’t end until last evening.
MOPS was great! Everyone enjoyed the Deceptively Delicious recipes we made and we had a wonderful speaker, a dietitian who is also a MOPS mom. Being a huge label reader myself when I shop I really appreciated all the information she gave. The best advise yet for those looking to lose weight was making a lifestyle change, move more, eat less and stay away from “diets” which usually means you are cutting out one or more food groups entirely….which isn’t healthy and your body usually rebels at some point because it really needs a little of everything everyday!
I also had a leadership weekend at church and I help in our coffee bar and with hospitality so I had to be there. It started on Friday night and went through Saturday afternoon. It was good though, we heard our Pastor’s vision for our church which was awesome and got upcoming events and leadership changes and it was all in all very encouraging and a great time of fellowship.
Then after the church conference I went to a baby shower for a good friend of ours, she is having a little boy which is great as she already has a daughter. They are very blessed and it was well attended and she got lots of cute things for her new little one. We of course played games which I usually never win and we got necklaces upon arrival and told we couldn’t say “baby, the mommy’s name or the baby’s name” well, after much losing and gaining of necklaces I came out the winner which was a nice surprise and great fun! I won a cute little heart shaped box ( I love little things like that) and a Starbucks card…..Wahey!!!! ( I love coffee!!!!)
When I finally got home on Saturday my youngest was pleased I had a slew of necklaces for her! The dog was all over me and wanting another walk! and my hubby bless him wanted to hear all about my day. My son was having a fit of boredom but was better having gone out earlier with his step-dad and sister so all in all it was good to be home. I was stuffed from eating ALL day it seemed 
so I had to figure out dinner for the rest, we then finally sat down after our little one was in bed to watch a movie and just relax for a moment which was very nice indeed!
My oldest daughter called at her usual early time on Sunday (seems mom is always still in bed!) and said she was coming down for the day which was a nice surprise so after church on Sunday we were busy doing this and that with she and her boyfriend. We had a nice lunch out and after they left I surveyed the disaster that was my house. While it was a good weekend I really hate it when I get to Sunday afternoon and I have hardly been home at all. My house is usually in a very sad state when that happens and that causes my stress level to go up a fair amount.
So while daddy and our youngest sat down to watch Shrek I got to it with my mop and started clearing through the rubble……after taking a break to make popcorn for the movie watchers I took the dog for a walk and then called it a day!
At 7:30 my lovely daughter was asleep and I was sat down with my husband to finally relax a bit before hitting the hay early……as we were both tired.
It was a nice weekend, filled with friends and family and coming and going but I am thankful that all my weekends aren’t so jam-packed! This morning I laid in bed and prayed about my busy Monday ahead and made a plan with God to help me get the important things done!
Enjoy the day!!!
