Calm Before the Storm

As far as our weeks go, this one is actually pretty quiet and that is so nice as I look ahead to next week which will be wall-to-wall busy!

After school yesterday I attended my first ViA (Volunteers in Action -- Palmetto Health) Executive Board Meeting. I am serving as the CMN Co-Chair for 2008 and very excited about this! As soon as the meeting was over I headed to Ruth's Chris to meet some of the GNO girls for dinner. It was delicious as always! I had the petite filet and ordered a side of the BEST sweet potato casserole I have ever had! Several of us ordered sides and shared so I had the sp casserole, scalloped potatoes, crabmeat stuffed mushrooms and regular mushrooms. There wasn't a bite of anything I put in my mouth that wasn't just terrific (but the sp casserole definitely won first place....the pecan topping was to die for). We had a great time eating and talking. It was so nice to see familiar faces and get to know new women and a few JWC girls even better. Five of us there are going to be playing Bunco starting in a few weeks so it was fun to plan for that.

The rest of this week is pretty slow, too. Tonight Clay has scouts, Thursday I will be at home most likely as our director is giving us a sub day to work on report cards, I pick up Clay's report card on Thursday and I'm suppoed to have a Mary Kay party, but right now I'm not sure if that will happen or not.

I'm loving the rest, though. Starting Sunday, the next week will be full force. It looks like this:

Sunday - Palmetto Place Care and Share (we're skating....how fun is that?!)
Monday - No School (hallalujah!) and Ron and I are having dinner with a vendor
Tuesday - A local meteorologist is coming to school for our kids/Open House for the magnet programs Clay is applying for - for next year
Wednesday - I have to teach a lesson and be observed by the Department of Archives for a class I took last summer/GNO (we have two this month...Ruth's Chris was an "extra") at Macaronie Grille
Thursday - I have a second lesson to teach and be observed/a home party at a friend's house
Friday - Field experience with my class to the State Museum/Ron and I have dinner and theater with some other couples
Saturday - I have a work class to take (so that I can take a day off in February!)

I'm glad those kinds of weeks only come around every now and then! Otherwise...whew!
