Cheerful week ahead

These are our evenings this week...

Monday: haircuts for Lena & Ally
Tuesday: Lena cheering @ 8th grade boys' regional game
Wednesday: Lena cheering @ 7th grade boys' sectional game
Thursday: Lena cheering @ 8th grade boys' regional game (if they win on Tuesday)
Friday: Lena cheering @ Central Catholic HS basketball game
Saturday: Lena cheering @ 7th grade boys' state tournament (if they win on Wednesday)
Sunday: After attending Mass, we become immobile on the couch for the rest of the day

On top of all that, Tom's birthday is on Thursday. He's offering to skip this one and remain 38 until Feb 5, 2010. Mmmm....not thinking so much. I'm thinking he will get a McDonald's Happy Meal for his birthday dinner. I've told him that if he's behaving well, we'll get him a McDonald's apple pie and stick a candle in it!

Don't feel too sorry for him, however. On either Thursday or Sunday, I'll be making him lamb stew...and he's getting one heck of a birthday present, though it is NOT the antique tractor that he really wants!

Ally is so not looking forward to this week! Poor kid has to tag along to it all. We'll make it up to her this weekend. A bit of chocolate (and some one on one time) goes a long way to readjusting her attitude and mood. Yep, she's my daughter!

I CANNOT wait for next Sunday!
