I practically have no voice left. I do however have a nice barky cough. My throat hurts, my glands feel swollen and I am wondering if I have strep. That would not be good.

I have a full weekend ahead of me so the chances of resting are zilch. It all starts tonight when I get out of work. My in-laws are returning home from a 3 month stay in Florida. My kids are so excited to see them. We will meet there around 6 for pizza and to visit. I have to admit I am excited too! I love my in-laws. They are wonderful people and have such a great relationship with all their grandkids. They have stepped up to the plate since my parents died and have filled the void that was left behind to some degree. I am very thankful to them.

Tomorrow I will go to yoga class to help get me in the zone. Then I have to take DD to her retreat at church. Since I am the snack coordinator I will be there to make sure we have everything, to set up, and to clean up. Then we will stay for mass. All in all it will be about 6 hours at church. Then we will take the kids to Friendly's for dinner as that is the restaurant DD chose for her birthday celebration. Then I have to make cupcakes for DD birthday celebration at religious education.

Sunday is DD actually birthday so we will celebrate at home in the morning and at her religious education class. Then it is off to the niece's birthday party at noon. Then I should be able to squeeze in some laundry and housework. Then maybe I can rest.

The good news is I will be so busy I won't be spending much money Also, it is supposed to be nice here all weekend-in the 60's which is awesome for us! I can't wait to be able to go outside without a jacket.

Today was payday and I don't have any bills that need to be paid! Plus I have money in my checking account left over from last pay period. Blogging has really helped me be mindful of my spending. I have to make it a point to try to check in more often.
