My To Do List For This Weekend

Yesterday soon after I finished at the office, we went to visit a family whose husband/father dropped over dead a massive heart attack last Friday in Barbados.  We were probably there for an hour or so and then left to go have dinner.  It was kind of nice being that we haven't ate out all week!  After that we came home.  I was sooooo tired!!  So, I thought I'd get my book I'm reading and sit in the recliner in the living room to rest and read for a while.  Haha!!  After reading a few pages, my eyes became very heavy.  Instead of going back to bed I laid the book down on the floor and fell asleep.  It was ridiculous as I sat there and slept almost two hours.  When I woke up it was almost 9:30!!  So, I got up and then went to bed.  I was all settled getting ready to snooze away and Dennis came to bed.  At one point, he rolled over and hit me square in the face and didn't even know it!!  Then I was wide awake.  So, around 12:30 am, I got out of bed and moseyed around for a while doing a few things.  I then took my book and went to another bedroom and laid down.  I read until almost 2:30 and slept for about 4 hours.  The moral of that story is don't take a pre~bedtime nap!!  But as I was laying in bed trying to go back to sleep after getting socked in the face (it wasn't that hard but he still got me in the forehead) I was thinking of all those things I wanted to do this weekend!  

Here is a list of things accomplished and those still to be accomplished:

AND THE LIST GOES ON AND ON!

The nice thing is that Monday is a holiday for us, so we don't have school which means the office will be closed.  Did I hear some say "HALLELUJAH"?  Oops, that was me you heard there :o)  So, I worked hard today hoping to enjoy my day off a little bit.
