Busy Week Ahead

This has got to be one of the busiest weeks we have had since Vacation Bible School last summer, and I don't think life in general is going to slow down any time soon! This is what we have on the schedule this week: Monday - deliver the last of the candy eggs that the youth at church sold in their fundraiser, I have an appointment to update my will at the attorney's office at 4:30 and DD has to be at the high school to serve dinner for the honor society at 5:15. I also cannot forget to go to the bank to pick up my old will from the lock box on my way to taking DD to her grandpa's so he can get her to the high school since I'm not sure I will be done at the attorney's in time to take her. I'm also planning on doing some grocery shopping, although most like just an "absolute necessities trip" since I have only a partial list and no menu plan done yet. Tuesday - the kids have a history day at the American Legion not far from here instead of a regular day at school. I've adjusted my work schedule since they don't have to be there until 9 AM, not out the door at 7 AM as usual. If it is raining, I will need to drive them; otherwise, it is close enough that they can walk. And we can't forget to pack a lunch. Which I probably will. At 6 PM, DS and I have a welcome dinner for his acceptance into the local JVS for the next 2 years. Wednesday or Thursday - Experience the Cross at church. This is a walk through the last week of Jesus' life. I'd like to go Wednesday because of my Thursday schedule, but actually Maundy Thursday would be more appropriate. Thursday - Bible Study Fellowship in the morning, which pushes my work schedule back as usual. We'll go to Experience the Cross tonight if we didn't make it Wednesday. Friday - No school but we will attend the Good Friday service in the evening. Sunday - Easter! We have to be at church at 8:45 for DS to practice for the skit he is in, in both services. DD and I are attending the first service and doing childcare in the toddler nursery for the second service. Once we get home, we have nowhere else to go - Grandpa is attending a family party (that once again, the kids aren't invited to, but that's not for this post!) - so we won't be going there for Sunday night pizza, and my Beth Moore Bible study will not be held this evening. I have a huge nap scheduled for this afternoon! Sometime this week, I need to do laundry, catch up on my Bible reading and Bible studies, catch up on cutting coupons, make a better grocery list and menu plan, pay the bills, go through my piles of paperwork to make sure I'm not missing something, decide for 100% sure what I'm doing for the Mother-Daughter banquet on May 7 and inventory what I have for the kids' Easter baskets. I know I need to stop by the local candy-maker and get chocolate crosses for their baskets and I need to get a wallet for DS, but I think that's all I need. It's easy to get overwhelmed when I think of everything that needs to be done in addition to work and the usual daily activities. I just need to remember to pray that I get done what God wants me to get done and not worry about the rest. If I let Him prioritize my day and pay attention to what He's telling me to get done, all will be good. :-)
