This Carousel Doesn't Stop!

I have decided to start blogging while I am baking cookies in a new way! The experiment is baking cookies dough in a cupcake pan. Be right back, the buzzer just rang!...Two more minutes...

Last week was so busy!  I worked on Wednesday and Friday, so everything else had to get fit in with the time left. The biggest task was making Matthew's costume. I cut out the pattern Wednesday night, sewed  a lot at quilting (thanks for your help Norma!), stopped after the hood was on. Put in the very large sleeves on Saturday after cleaning the kitchen and finishing the laundry that had been getting done a load at a time.  In fact there is still a load left and it is time to start all over! Watched college football too of course.  Too bad the Wolverines lost.If you read last night's blog, I finished the costume at 5:45 pm and the Trunk or Treat started at 6pm!  Talk about "cutting" it close!

Some really great news! The  Greenville High School Football team won their first playoff game last Friday. It was a great game.  They play again at home this Friday against Muskegon.   Come on team! You can do it!  How exciting!  However, during the game we got a message from Sarah that "her" car's power steering stopped working on the way to a hockey game in Grand Rapids.  I drove the Prius and Jeff drove the van to GR  late Friday night, saw the end of the Hope hockey game and then let Sarah take the van and we came home in the Prius.   Matthew came along with us. The Kia was towed to a local auto repair.  This morning we found out it was the power steering belt that broke.  We suspected that, but wanted to be sure there wasn't any other damage.  Praise the Lord for small miracles, large ones too!  Even those that are disguised at coincidences.  We should get the car back today and be back to normal tomorrow!

As for the rest of the week, the merry go round continues:

• I have an ultrasound tomorrow, a follow up from six weeks ago, where they discovered an ovarian cyst. We will see if it went away or decided to stick around!
• I am working two days  a week now, pretty much every Wednesday and Friday.  That will help with the planning, I guess.  There will be some days that I will have to take off for certain events.  
• Choir rehearsals, kids and adults, Chimes and Orchestra. 
• Mary is coming home for a few days this weekend. It will be nice to have her home.
• Have to keep up with the mail, bills and such too. 

Some good news to finish this blog~Matthew has been accepted to the National Honor Society and will be inducted on November 11th, Veteran's Day!  I am off to get two tickets to the Christmas Concert by the GR Symphony.  They come to Greenville every year!  I can't wait.  Have to get tickets early so we get good seats.  They go fast. Oh and by the way, the cookies are cooling and sinking, but I think they are baked and will taste good. Think I will add some frosting!

Better get going!
