Yesterday was a good day. Killian got up and took 3 goats to the sale. Perigrine and I got up and finished prepping for the Relief Society activity. Killian ran the errands that he wanted to get done while we were at the activity.
The activity went really well there were 10 of us there. Everyone seemed to have a good time. Lots of Shower Fizzies were made. Someone even asked if we could do it again closer to Christmas. I am calling it a success.
Our RS president thinks we should cut back these activities back to once a quarter or at the most every other month. She feels that we will get better attendance if we don't try do it every month. That just seems counter intuitive to me. We are a small congregation. We have our regulars, who always come. The other some when they don't have things happening. I know that doing activities on a Saturday is not always the best time, especially for the younger women with kids. But I am not in a position to do these activities on weeknights. Plus a lot of our older women would just as soon not drive at night. I still think the way to get attendance up is to have it routinely every month and the same day every month if possible. But she has the calling and I have to support her decision.
After the Activity, Perigrine and I unloaded the car grabbed Killian and drove to Adel for the Day Lily Festival. It's not a huge festival but it was fun. We had Tamales and fried Oreos. We also bought a lot of freeze dried candy and snacks at the festival.
I told the kids that more and more I think we need a freeze dryer. Killian corrected me and said we don't need it but we would have a use for it. Reminding me that Needs, Wants, and Uses are 3 different things. Still in my mind I am debating using my annual bonus (if i get one) to buy a freeze drier instead of paying off debt. I am sure the sensible me will win out and I'll pay down debt. Still I want one.
We were all worn out after our adventure and had a lazy evening. It was a good end to a long stressful week. Today will be busy as well but that's okay. Tired from doing something else is not a bad thing.
The next 2 week are going to be hectic and long as well. I really need to get back on my schedule but that is not going to happen for at least 3 weeks. But I am going to keep up my stress reducing activities, eat healthy, and try to get enough sleep. And on the weekends do things we enjoy.
How was your Saturday?
