Weekend Wrap Up

I wish the week would last as long as the weekends seem to...then it would be the weekend much more often! It is Monday again, already.

This weekend was fast because there was a bunch of things happening. Saturday was our Young Women Basketball extravaganza...meaning we played a whole "season" of basketball in one day...and found a stake ball champion to send to the region tourney next month. Whew. Not that is was without its drama. But that will be fodder for another post, so let's leave it at four hours of games, and it is done. Yea!

It was also Genius Golfer's birthday Saturday. He is 46. He spent the morning--while I was at basketball--with the 14-15 year old boys tubing at Soldier Hollow. Everyone had a great time, I undestand, and no one got hurt (always a plus in my tubing experiences) so it was a terrific activity. He had planned on golfing that afternoon, but I can't remember if he did or not. I think we all stayed home and vegged out until it was time to go to dinner. It is always a good day if I don't have to cook--so we celebrated with dinner out and then home for cake, ice cream and a movie. Not a bad Saturday overall.

Sunday began early for most of us. The boys had a stake priesthood meeting at 7 AM and I had a camp meeting at 7:30, so only The Girl got to sleep in. In fact she got herself to church at 9, where we all met eventually. Once our service was over, I came home and fell alseep until about 3:30 when I got up and went ot take some pictures for a friend. Her son is submitting paperwork for his mission and need the missionary-look headshots. Then I chatted with this friend about a YW issue in another ward, and brainstormed some solutions. Then one of our Camp committee girls came over in a tizzy because she had just been released after a rotten day as Laurel president (and thus, on the camp committee) and was confused and angry and upset. We talked to her--together as it happened--and hopefully helped her see change is inevitable and that we still needed her. But I also told her to get a good night's sleep and she would probably feel better.

And suddenly it is Monday morning again. This weeke doesn'tlook quite as busy as the past two weeks, but it isn't going to be a watch TV and eat bon-bon kind of week either. Like it EVER is.
