Monday Meanderings

There should be a law against rainy Mondays.
Mondays are heard enough, starting another week filled with work and obligations...rain is no help.
If I could control the weather, there would be no rain on Mondays.
I did manage to already clean my room, the bathroom, put away a load of laundry, get another washed, and load the dishwasher.
-----------------------------------
It's a busy week. It's Red Ribbon Week at school.
Tomorrow Aidan has a Scout meeting, and a friend is coming home with him to ride with us for Scouts.
Wednesday I have a meeting in the morning, then later I'm helping to prep stuff for Secret Santa at school.
Thursday Pat has Lifeteen, and then Friday is the parish Feather Party! And then holy smokes, it's already a week until Thanksgiving! How did that happen so fast?!
---------------------------------------
I don't have a menu planned for this week. I looked in my kitchen, and this is my general idea:
Scrambled egg & sausage sandwiches on English Muffins.
Italian Rice & Beans or Refried Beans over rice.
Crock pot creamy chicken.
------------------------------------------
I'm still feeling "homesick" lately for my side of the family. I am looking forward to going to SC for Christmas.
----------------------------------------
Speaking of Christmas, the stores area already chaotic and filling with rude, greedy customers. I want to finish my shopping asap.I need to get the game Sorry, some books for the kids, and I want to get them one of the Lego games. I really want to not do this alone. I'd love to leave the kids with the sitter and Pat & I go together. Think it will happen?

How's your Monday? What's on your agenda for this week?

Manic Monday

This is my momentary sanity break. Join me. (Manic Monday found here)

What is the most useful gift you’ve ever been given?
Tough question. I want to say my family. If we're supposed to name an actual physical object we've been given, I'd go with the plant ticket to Europe for a semester. I learned so much about myself that semester, traveled to many different countries, and made some amazing memories. I could have never done it without my parents giving me that plane ticket.

Name the most terrifying moment of your life so far.
Either post-partum after Aidan was born, when I was having some pretty scary thoughts, or when I was having my miscarriage. In the one instance, I was scared of myself. The other, my body scared me.

One hot summer afternoon, while walking through a parking lot at a large shopping center, you notice a dog suffering badly from the heat inside a locked car. What would you do?
I'm not a pet-lover, but I would probably go to Mall Security or Customer Service w/ the license plate number. Hopefully the owner would get paged and tend to the dog.

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you're week is off to a good start. :)
