Are We Done Yet?!?

What a grueling week. Each night this week, Karen & I talked about emptying the camper of the towels and other supplies that we did not take out of the camper on Labor Day, which is when we returned from our final camping trip of the season. Unfortunately, each night this week, we didn't get it done. The amount of homework the kids had would have prevented them from helping us - isn't that why parents have kids so they have cheap labor? - so we instead dealt with laundry, homework, and supper. Megan had a volleyball game on Thursday and, of course, Survivor started up again. I am in a pool @ work and have Ashley & Russell. I don't think either of them will last very long, especially since Ashley had votes against her @ the first tribal council.

Today and tomorrow are going to be activity-filled days as well. The kids and I are going to work on the basement until Karen gets up, then we're going to work on the camper. The Iowa v. Arizona game is @ 2:30 and I *will* be done by then. Megan is going to a 1:00 movie and after she gets picked up, we may be going to 4:00 Mass in CR, depending upon the timing. We pretty much have to go then because we're going to Jeff & Karen's for supper in Ely ~6:00.

Tomorrow, we have some friends coming down ~11. Our parish auction is from noon on so we may be able to go to that for a bit. Alex has his first basketball practice @ 6. We have 7 kids. It's going to be interesting. I think we will have 7 tired kids.

Then it's back to work for another fun-filled week of what we just finished going through this week. It's crazy.

Next weekend, Megan has a car wash on Saturday and a birthday party - bowling in Cedar Rapids. She has quickly turned into a social butterfly which is good. I think my baby is starting to grow up.

Meanwhile, her father doesn't. The next TNA PPV (read Eric Cohen's predictions here) is this weekend. I never watch these as they happen, but I (usually) look online when they are over to see who won.
