I think i mentioned what i was doing this week but it's been a whirlwind! After church sunday we had a get-together. Monday morning we went out of town. We had to drive with 3 dogs and a lovebird and all our junk! I ran to the "local" pet shop since we were in town and found a little bird travel cage!
It started raining on the way up and hasn't quit yet!
Wednesday we had the Fall Festival that i opened my mouth about planning. Since i procrastinated til the last minute *I* had to do it all! Not thinking we were going to be out of town in an unfamiliar place and not able to cook the chili (!) i just went along... tum te dum... Until tuesday evening. Realizing the situation i told dh i needed to get going as early as possible in the morning and we left by 7:15. I had to do all the shopping (in an unfamiliar Super Walmart) and cook the chili and cornbread (4 batches), print out games and coloring pages (which i left on my puter where we were staying), get everything to the church and set up. It came together ok but i am never opening my mouth again!!!
So thankful that's over. I slept in this morning and then cleaned up the kitchen from the day before. It was so nice to have it over with that i didn't even mind the mess.
Then we made our way back up here, a two hour drive on a good day, with all the dogs and bird... again. They were very good this time - no whining or trying to tear the car up.
We are here til saturday. The weather report indicates possible rain the whole time. bleh We shouldn't complain; we've had gorgeous weather forever. But it does put a damper on getting out and about.
My mind was clear. Dh said he tho't i was spending to much mental time on it but little does he know i was putting the shopping list in the order i'd find it in the store so i could shop quicker and more efficiently - and it worked well to HIS benefit. He had to stay in the car because the puppy decided to start chewing on the upholstery!!! 
He couldn't be left after that.
