Just Breathe

I am feeling a little overwhelmed right now. I have so much going on it is making my head spin....I know, I know I did say that now that gymnastics is over I would have more time with my two angels but I am wrong. I am in all the committees at school just about because they have to have a representative from all departments, I am the only girl and the three guys I work with will not go nor do they really care to go. If we aren't represented at the meetings we get into trouble so I guess I get to represent. So anyway.... here I am superwoman trying to juggle all sorts of things that are happening over the weekend and on Tuesday. To start there is the schools craft show that the hockey and gymnastics team are running as a fundraiser. I really have not done that much work but I will be in the gym and cafeteria at the school Friday night setting up for like 3 hours and then on Saturday I will live at the high school from 7:30 until 6:00 making sure everything is going smoothly. I hope everything goes well..... Tuesday the History department and the Physical Education department are pairing up to do their mandatory breakfast for all faculty. We have a new principal who is wonderful, but we had to read this book, The Fish Book (which was a good read), and out of it we were told that each department would be hosting a breakfast. I have volunteered to bring a french toast casserole and those little gummy swedish fish for gifts to faculty. Our theme is a military one, kinda like that show, Mash. We are going to be set up like Mash and everyone is wearing camouflauge attire. It will be really neat I guess but I wanted to find camouflage ribbon to tie around the swedish fish packets and haven't found it yet. I going to look at Michael's tomorrow. Also that same day we bring in our departments Thanksgiving basket that we donate to the Salvation Army every year. I get all of the stuff that goes in the basket every year and then collect money from them. I have yet to get our turkey, my Mom volunteered my Dad into getting it for me. Way to go Mom!!!! That is a really fun thing that we do together for the needy families in our town. Two other committees have things going as well the week of Thanksgiving but I am not going to keep boring you....because I am guessing you get the point of my rambling...
Okay, so that doesn't necessarily sound so bad when I write it all down but I am leaving out one of the most exciting and awesome events that happens on Tuesday. Landon turns 1. We are having a party on Friday so I am trying to get out invitations and make a card and get a gift and everything that goes into having a party. Because I am a perfectionist I just want everything to go as planned and with no problems. I just need to take a deep breath and let everything fall into place. Okay, here is my deep breath and then I am going to go work on some of the things I have here at home that I can do.
