Worn Out!

Wow--this day off seriously wore me out. I am in the "industrious" few days of my month and I have been seriously busy, busy, busy!! I did decide to do some school today--about half a day's worth and tomorrow we'll do the other half instead of cooking. I also did laundry and cleaned up and unpacked. Then--I went looking for sports shirts so that we could go and have a free Chick-fil-a sandwich for lunch. Since we are not big sports fans I could only come up with two sports shirts. So, I put a call in to Uncle Billy and he came through for us on one condition--I had to wear a Georgia Tech shirt. That seems like no big deal but I come from a family of Georgia Bulldog fans and I went to University of Georgia for one year and Dawg fans don't wear Tech shirts. But--like the sign below says--sometimes we do.

After our lunch we were headed to the mall to do the last of Hannah's birthday shopping and I just kept my shirt on because.....there's a Chick-fil-a at the mall. I also carried the girls' shirts in my purse. We picked up Madi Y on the way to the mall and she brought a shirt too. Shopping was fun and our free sandwiches at the mall hit the spot. After the mall we went to Play it Again Sports to buy a ball glove for Ollie and I so we can practice less painfully with Grace and Joe. Right across the street from the shopping center was a Chick-fil-a. Yes, we stopped again. I was full and so was Grace so we "donated" our sandwiches to Madi's brothers but Hannah and Madi both ate another sandwich! Thank you Chick-fil-a!
Since my day wasn't busy enough I decided to make a big ol' Russian dinner with Hannah's help. She has been studying Russia (Weeks 29 and 30 in My Father's World--only 4 weeks to go!!) and I like to make a meal from whatever country we are studying. The week is going to get busy so tonight was the night. We made Pirozhki (little meat turnovers), Borscht, and cabbage and Russian apple pie (not very pielike at all!). The food was really good. I've never had Borscht before. I always assumed that I wouldn't like it since I don't really like beets but I was wrong. It was really good. Actually, we all liked it. After this busy day I am completely worn out and ready for bed. Unfortunately, my work is not yet done. Hannah bought herself a mix stick today (kind of like an ipod shuffle) and she's waiting for me to help her put songs on it. I'm off to get that started and then I get to go to bed!
