It's been a while since I posted a Weekend Window, but since ours was JAM PACKED, I decided it would be a good idea. Friday night ended week 1 of school. I chaperoned our school's FCAT Dance. This is a party we throw for those students who achieve on our state's mandated test. It was a lot of fun. Of course, I came home EXHAUSTED...the good kind.
Saturday was CLEANING OUT day at my house. I was determined to work on our garage which was FULL...especially since DH's office boxes are all now stored there (and trust me, pastor's have a TON of books). We took two trips to Goodwill and got pretty much half of it done. It was SO HOT that I just couldn't go any further. I also made a load to go to school (because, trust me, TEACHERS also have a TON of books). All the boys pitched in and helped...but DS 3 was an absolute trooper. He loaded. He mopped. He schlepped. He blessed his Mother. He and I jumped in a friend's pool Saturday afternoon to cool off and BOY was it refreshing!
Saturday night was DS 2's first Debutante Party. He is escorting one of his friends for the season. It was an 80's party. I had to laugh because I really couldn't tell him HOW to dress for it at first. I mean the 80's are a bit of a blur for me. They had a great time. This whole experience is absolutely amazing for him and for us. I mean some of these families spend $15,000 - $100,000 on the Deb's party! Yesterday, DS 2 told me that some Deb's are wearing Vera Wang gowns to the Ball in December. Amazing! I just keep thinking of all the things that money "could" be used for....
Sunday, DH left for another week in Texas. He's been home for a while, so we'll have to get our "groove" back for when he's gone. I miss him so much when he's gone.
After church, DSs 2, 3, and 4 and I headed to Tampa for a soccer game. We picked up my Mom and had lunch at Cracker Barrell before going to the fields. It was HOT HOT HOT out there...and DSs 2's team lost. There were some bad calls for certain. I am pretty sure it should have been at least 2 - 1. Oh well.
By the time we got home last night, I was ready to CRASH. And that is exactly what I did.
Just another few days of my crazy life..
Have a GREAT week, everyone!!

Life that only you will understand how much you should be enjoying once all of the boys are gone and have families of their own!!
I so hope that you still can come, Susan..

We have been cleaning out pastor books from the attic to send to Ethiopia Mr. Wonderful says he doesn't need them any more and they can do so much more good there than in our attic. We are sending out a contain to Ethiopia this weekend so it will be a hot time loading the 40 foot container. Got all our boys prayed up.
Is a Debutante party like a Sweet 16? That sounds like a lot of dough!
I know that it feels great to clean out the clutter. I need to do it again, but I need to find the time too!
Have a great day!
What a busy weekend! Thanks for your encouraging comments about my son starting school. I know he will be fine, but it is such an adjustment for me!
WHEW!!!! I am tired just reading your post. You have been VERY busy.
I have a little surprise for you on my blog!
WOW! I didn't even know deb's still existed in today's world! I'm thoroughly floored! So the boy is getting a taste of Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous, huh? What does HE think about all that money being spent for one party?
Oh, hey! Stop by! I have something for you over on my post today!
I just don't know how you keep up with your schedule!! I;m exhausted just reading about it ;)...although I can relate to the cleaning up of the garage...every time I do it I swear it will be the last time...how does all that stuff end up there????
A busy, busy time out in the heat. I do not envy you at all. I just hid out in the a/c all weekend...
A Vera Wang gown so they can slop down the front of it? Spare me... Ahh to have that kind of spare cash... Not that it will ever happen...
That's such a big waste...
You were as busy as I usually am!!
Have a good week!

Somehow the mention of Vera Wang and an 80s party in the same post made start singing, "Everybody have fun tonight/Everybody wang chung tonight."
I could use a fraction of that Deb cash and end up with a nicely decorated keeping room...thank you very much. hee-hee. Girlfriend, you amaze me with your energy.
Me again....come on by and pick up your name plate. Hope you like it.
