Superwoman's Sunday Adventures

I have decided that without Facebook, I truly am Superwoman. :-) This morning I woke up at 8 and could not go back to sleep, as much as I really wanted to. I decided to take advantage of no one else being up and enjoyed a long, hot shower. I blow dried and styled my hair (if anyone knows me, that alone is proof of Superwoman status), did my make-up, got dressed for church, put on the homemade apron I made for Bill, tidied up the kitchen, put the clothes in the dryer, chopped some vegetables for the crock-pot meal, seared the roast, put everything in the crock-pot, fixed Rebekah's dress with some nicely done stitches, hard boiled a dozen eggs for snacks later in the day, made sure Nate and Lily took their showers, made sure the kids were in their Sunday best, did buns on the side of the girls' hair, cut and hot glued flowers to some hair things, put the cute new hair things in the girls' hair, shooed the kids out the door with their scriptures, and we managed to get to church a few minutes early (our ward starts at 11).
The whole morning, Facebook beckoned me, taunting me with its many applications, quizzes, and statue updates. I kept telling myself that I would check my Facebook when I had a spare minute. That spare minute eluded me as I kept finding more things I wanted to do, which drowned out the constant Facebook nagging.
I feel incredibly accomplished. I hope more of my mornings go like that.

Oh, and after church, I played a game of Spaceopoly (aka: SolarQuest) with the kids. I won. :-) After we broke our fast, we watched "Back to the Future Part II" and then Bill and I took a nap. When we woke up, the kids asked us to play the new Monopoly as a family. Bill and Lily kicked all of our butts. While we were playing, our good friends, the Zieglers, dropped by and we visited for a while. Little Bell had her dolls and "cell phone" and was so happy. Jayson and Kenna were just as happy and cute. We can't wait to hang out with them tomorrow.
After they left, we resumed our game where Rebekah was the first one bankrupt, then me (after some "unwise" trading with Lily - call me a sucker, but I couldn't let her lose!), then Justin, then Nathan, and it was down to Bill versus Lily. Lily had most of the property and lots of hotels, and Bill had over 40 millions bucks. We called it a draw or we would have been playing ALL night.

We closed the evening with some gourmet Dave and Thomas popcorn while watching a couple episodes of "Charmed." Now it is quiet time. Everyone else in the house is tucked in bed and sleeping, while me, Supewoman, is blogging. Ahhh, it doesn't get much better than this!
