Thrown Together

Throwing things together. That is what this weekend has in store for me.

Hey why not? Since the kitchen remodel, that I have yet to bounce back from, life at home has been unorganized. Unsettled. Just not back to where it needs to be. Progress is being made. Little by little. I think that is what is bothering me. I want it done and I want it done now. This weekend! Let's make lots of lines on my to-do list. That's not going to happen though.

My Big Guy plans to get up real early to go into work. He is already tired but he'll go in and then he'll run around all day Saturday mowing, working on the dog kennel, perhaps he'll fit a 20 minute cat nap in there. I'll be babysitting the puppy, housecleaning and trying to get the kids to do something without me participating. They'll protest when I ask them to clean up their rooms or put clothes away so must likely, I'll throw (not literally) them outside. The Little Big Guy hasn't played on the dirt pile lately. Although he was King of the Dirt Pile this morning before we left for the day. Dirty boy = happy boy! Everything washes = Happy mom!

My childhood friend flew in earlier this week and hopefully she'll visit our home for lunch on Saturday. So I'll make some eats for us to enjoy before we give her the tour. I'll throw together a salad, some sort of meal and dessert! It'll have to be chocolate.

Sunday we have a thrown-together invite. Sort of a spur-of-the-moment reunion. For our class, that's the best kind. Classmates flew in from the west coast and the class has been invited to the farm for a get-together. I am looking forward to this. Even though many classmates still live locally, we don't get together as often as we should. We haven't stopped to get off life's busy highway to enjoy each others' company. That is about to change. I hope many of us take the time to stop by, share some stories over a cold drink, laugh alot and take pictures. I am excited. I'll be throwing something together for that also. I can't go empty handed. You gather people. People are going to eat and drink.

So much to do and not enough time to get it all done. I'll see what I can cross of and what gets accomplished. I think I'll be baking some ABC recipes this weekend too. With a puppy in the house, the morning starts off earlier than I'd like so I'll BAKE the most of it!
