Why Me?

Is anyone out there as grateful as me that it's Friday? This week has been particularly hard. Maybe it's the working 10 hours Monday and Tuesday that threw me off, or that I hurt the feelings of someone I really respect, but something feels weird. I am so ready for it to be over. But before that, I've got to get through the weekend. Here's the rundown of the expected (and perhaps unexpected events):

Friday
I'm going on a "campout" with the Activity Day Girls. We'll be in some one's backyard (thankfully). I even made little camp songbooks so we can enjoy the camp songs from yesteryear. We'll be singing such favorites as "Once an Austrian Went Yodelling" and "Sipin' Cider." We'll talk about the Young Women Values (cause the theme we're working on is preparing for YW) and the scriptures associated with them. We'll drink hot chocolate (yum) and enjoy each other's company. I am kind of tempted to bring little rubber bands and braid hair!

Saturday
In the morning we'll get up and have breakfast - that's given! Then we'll make friendship bracelets using the colors of the YW values. I am kind of excited about that part. I had fond memories of making and wearing friendship bracelets. Daniel pointed it out that they won't actually be given to anyone for friendship. Oh well, that's still what they're called, though.

I will hopefully come home and catch up on my shows, laundry, and cleaning. Cleaning my room is a weekend ritual. It wouldn't hafta be if I did it more routinely. I used to be so good at it too. Nerds! I am hoping to start (and possibly finish) the Family Home Evening chart that we'll use. I am excited with the possibilities, plus I've been itchin' to be crafty and this will definitely satisfy the urge. Then I will gear up and get ready for my favorite ballet. I am super excited about it and I know it will be a good thing. I've always love to watch dancing. This is mostly because I am so obviously not a dancer. But I long to be. Do they have grown-up ballet classes? I'd probably be too embarrassed to go if they did.

Sunday
Sunday will be my day of rest. Hurray!!! I look forward to going to church and being partaking of the good spirit that is there. It is also very fun and amazing for the Old Testament to come alive again through Dad's teaching. I am grateful that he's the teacher because it makes my transition to Sunday School from being in Primary a much easier one. And then I will spend a lovely time hanging out with my family and cuddling with Sydney. I love just sitting and talking with them and joking around.

I'm hoping that after this weekend I can feel refreshed and overcome this really awful week. Jada from work says, "You're only what, Catherine?" pause for dramatic effect,"one person; you can only do what you can do." I take things slower and enjoy the week ahead. The End.
