My week.

#1 Wrote copy for a website about electricity and waste oil and generators. Random, huh?

#2 Felt much guilt due to the fact that my kids watched a LOT of TV, due to #1.

#3 Finally started writing my novel. I'm the next Stephenie Meyer, I tell ya.

#4 Went and saw the Dark Knight. Was actually cowering and covering my eyes at one point. I highly recommend it.

#5 Cleaned house, did laundry and packed.

#6 Realized that it would have been much more fun for everyone to travel if kids and I were sleeping while we attempted such travel.

#7 Went and saw the old homestead in Show Low. Sigh - such a pretty house, still.

#8 Attended the St. Johns camporama, where Josh ate an entire bowl of chili himself. This kid's gonna be an eater.

#9 Couldn't find my watch, CTR ring, or wedding ring when we got back to the hotel.

#10 Turned every piece of clothing, furniture and bedding inside out three or four times looking for said jewelry, thinking my 4-year-old had hidden it.

#11 Started to panic, cry and get very, very angry coming to the realization that my jewelry had been stolen out of our hotel room.

#12 Was unable to sleep on rock-hard mattress. Stayed up all night, instead, reading The Memory Keeper's Daughter. Compelling, but wouldn't recommend it. Very sad.

#13 Attended extended family reunion activities. Allison was part of a skit and was a very, very cute shoveler. She made herself a very best friend with one of the cousins, Jacklyn.

#14 Was thanked about 500 times for reunion t-shirt design. Does that mean I can't send a bill to anyone? Ha!

#15 Took naps in the hotel room with Josh, finally able to sleep. Aaaahhh...

#16 Let's just say... our waitress at dinner was "similiar" to one of the worst I've had in a long time. Chant with me: Please don't spit in my food. Please don't spit in my food.

#17 Finally called the police to make a police report about stolen jewelry.

#18 Stayed up half the night playing farkle with family.

#19 Finished that darn book. Now I can get on with my life.

#20 Got up, started packing to come home... and guess what,

#21 Found my watch and rings UNDER the mattress in Josh's play yard. Any guesses as to how they got there?

#22 Had breakfast with family chock full of yummy carbs, then headed for home. Whew.


Now, to re-read Twilight, New Moon, and Eclipse before Breaking Dawn comes out on Saturday.
