Just a day

in Life, random thoughts
It was a pretty uneventful weekend – don’t you just love those?
Friday SD2 and I went to get her new semester school supplies – the specific items she needs for her classes. They had to change her schedule around so she is taking Geometry, Geology, Spanish 1 and Child Development.
Saturday SD2 and I went to get our hair done. I got mine done and she got a trim. She just wanted to go along with me. We then went home to take a nap and lounge around. Saturday I cooked fried chicken and made scalloped potatoes. SD2 had never had scalloped potatoes and she liked them.
Sunday was church all day long. We left the house at 9am and returned at 8pm. There was only about 2 hours when we were home. I put a corned beef in the crock pot and that cooked all day long. We had that for dinner. SD2 had never had corned beef and really wanted to try it.
Monday was back to work/school. I had made a lasagna on Sunday and put in the fridge. SD2 put it in the oven for dinner when she got home. She ate a huge portion so I guess she liked it.
She did call her mom on Friday because we told her she needed to. But she still doesn’t want to see her – can’t say I blame her either.
I am fully into working on SD2 sweet 16 party. Invitations are ordered, speciality M&Ms will be here on Friday. Paper goods have been delivered. Caterer is working on food and cupcakes (I even found zebra cupcake liners). My big void is what to do. The room is 1100 sq feet which is huge and we have about 25 guests ranging in age of 5-70. Any ideas?? The party is only 3 hours long.
So I have cooked 3 days in a row. Did a good cardio workout yesterday and I thinking about just doing weights today. Trying to mix it up some. My first run for 2012 is March 17 so I need to get ready for that.
Anna is good. No movies viewed – there is nothing at the theater to watch because SD2 and I were going to go on Saturday since it was cold and dreary here but nothing.
SD1 starts college this week. I think she is coming to spend the night on Saturday and her birthday is in about 2 weeks. She will be 19. I am glad there is at least hope for her.

It really warms my heart that you and SD2 are getting so close. And that even SD1 is showing signs of trying to get her life together.
I’m excited about the sweet 16 – the party sounds so awesome! I don’t think my parents lifted a finger for my 16th.
I’ve never heard of anyone actually doing this so it may or may not work, but an activity to consider might be passing out pre-printed cards (maybe print 2 for every 8 1`/2 by 11 sheet of paper and cut in half) that has ‘Life Advice for SD2′s 16th Birthday” and have everyone fill out a card of the best advice they wish someone had told them when they turned 16. It could be touching or funny or whatever and you’ll get a variety. Put at the bottom blanks so that the person can put their name, and how they know SD2. Have each person take turns reading their advice out loud. Then collect the cards and put them in a scrapbook with pics of her birthday party.
That should kill about 30 minutes.
