Ah...Sunday. (Day of rest?)

I had grand plans for yesterday, and didn't achieve them. OK - some of the cleaning thing got done, but really, Hubby did that...I did not. To be quite honest - I'm having trouble remembering....OH! Right!! Silly me - how soon I forget! My short-term memory is for the birds these days! LOL!. OK - so at church yesterday "my" kids (remember, this includes not only my biological children, but also the children I teach and others whom I love!) sang "Jesus Loves Me" to the entire 11:00AM congregation! They did an awesome job and I am very, very proud of them! Thanks, too, to Mr. Miller - without whom, none of this awesome-ness would be possible! Good form...I say, yes...good form! (wow! where did that come from?) After church we went out to eat and then tried Hobby Lobby (whaddaya know? It's closed on Sundays!) and JoAnn's and A.C. Moore - but to no avail. I have a suspicion we'll find more of the same at Hobby Lobby when we eventually get there...but it's still worth a try. Then we came home and rested some. Got up and ate some. Watched America's Funniest Home Videos and then, after the kids went to bed, I went out to see Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1!!! It was AWESOME! Tired today, because I didn't get home until after midnight - but it was SO worth it! I guess that's it... TTFN JMS

(Chanting) Hobby! Lobby! Hobby! Lobby! Hobby! Lobby!

So today, here I sit thinking about my Project 365 Thanks and how after church today, I have to go to Hobby Lobby and possibly A.C. Moore to try to find a red or green PLAIN sweat suit for Kiddo to wear in the school play. (He's an elf and hats and ears are provided by the school!) Do you have any idea how hard it is to find a plain sweat suit? One without graffiti or graphics on it at all? Yesterday, while spending some much-needed quality time with Little Bit (we really had a great time, but it was still a frustrating day), we went to 2 different Wal-Marts, Old Navy, Target, Ross, Belk, some athletic store the name of which escapes me at the moment, Marshall's, J.C. Penny's, Kohl's, and Dick's Sporting Goods...all in search of the elusive red or green PLAIN sweat suit. I posted on FaceBook last night about this, and was given the tips about Hobby Lobby and A.C. Moore, so I will make the foray to those places today. I have a sneaking suspicion that's exactly where I'll find them! It's a little frustrating that yesterday, in my out-and-about travels with Little Bit, I was all around the Hobby Lobby but never...went...in! Grumble, grumble, groan! Anyway - I want to get that done pretty much as soon as Church is over today so that I can go home and clean some. The bathroom really needs it and the kitchen is...well...a nightmare! That's not to mention that the rest of the house really should just get bulldozed...LOL! So, have a wonderful day! Today it's sunny, cold, and gorgeously frosty outside! I'm loving it! I'm not much into being cold, and winter means, for me, dry, itchy skin, and sinus issues - but you know what? I don't care! I've managed to get in some very good sleep the last couple of days and I'm beginning to feel like myself again! It's amazing what a good rest can do for a body! LOL! TTFN JMS
