Hello and happy new week to you!  I’ve got a rather normal week ahead of me, which is a very nice thing after all the stress of prom dress sewing, and I’m hoping to just get chores and laundry caught up.  There’s a few end-of-school-year events sprinkled throughout, but they mostly just require me to show up and watch; not a lot of work required on my part.

Cooking

This week’s meal plan:

• Monday: Thai Spicy Chicken Enchiladas, Peas, Lemony Quinoa
• Tuesday: Meatloaf, Lemon-roasted potatoes w/ oregano, Green Bean Salad w/ Mustard seeds, Herbs & Baby Chard
• Wednesday: Spaghetti, Caesar, French bread/garlic bread
• Thursday: Leftovers
• Friday: Baked Potato Bar, Broccoli Slaw
• Saturday: Warm Goat Cheese & Chicken Salad,
• Sunday: Chicken Satay, Stir Fry Veggies, Rice

Clothing

• Get the laundry under control, yet again.
• Wardrobe rotation

Cleaning

I think I’m going to change my daily routine and put cleaning first thing because it’s not getting done very consistently when it’s scheduled later in my day.

Caring

• The girls need haircuts before graduation.  I wonder if I’m up for cutting their hair myself?  It worked fine when they were younger…
• Driving lessons

Creativity

• Need to start working on Renaissance’s graduation quilt
• Need to start working on a few decoration items for Ren’s graduation party

Gardening

• Behind on planting seeds, so need to catch up on that
• Need to assemble hanging baskets
• Weeding, as always
• Transfer tomato and pepper seedlings into larger pots because they’re not quite ready to go out yet, but they’re outgrowing the starting trays

Celebrating

• Take down the last Christmas tree this weekend.  It’s a two-person job and Michael and I have not been home and well at the same time on a single weekend since before Christmas to do it.  This is, by far, the longest I’ve ever had a tree up and it’s driving me insane.
• Finish up addressing and sending out Ren’s graduation party invitations

Community

• Nathaniel’s last Cross Country meet is this week
• Renaissance’s last band concert is this week

Top priorities this week:

• Get grad party invitations out
• Get Christmas tree down
• Garden
• Cleaning
• Laundry

Alright, forward we go! I should be able to accomplish a lot this week, given that the forecast is pretty rainy and I’ll be forced to work inside the house most days.
