Wonder Woman… ???

I was feeling like Wonder Woman this week.  I can’t believe everything I’ve gotten done.
And yesterday was really the pinnacle. 
My dinner at the church came off well. I got a lot of compliments on the
soup.  The salad was good and the fruit
salad was delicious.  The cheesy bread
was yummy too and I even had some leftovers. 
All done with no help until my poor daughter and husband showed up 15
minutes before it was due to be served. 
My son did help me load the car and I had the entire back seat plus the
front passenger seat filled with food that I single-handedly had cooked!  Am I proud? I sure am! LOL It’s just that I
am not the Wonder Woman type. I am usually a complete dork, fail at everything.
Burn stuff, late with stuff, screw everything up.  I am usually a complete mess-up… so to have
this thing come off with out a hitch and even be pretty successful, all on my
own, was truly a give from God… a miracle, I would dare say! The only thing I
did screw up on was that I didn’t have a beverage. I always drink water so I
didn’t even think of it.  One of the guys
from the church brewed coffee, which we always have, but I didn’t think about
anything else.  They found some pop and
some kool-aid though, so it was okay. 
All-in-all I was thanking God because I KNOW it was Him that made this
work.  Only God could turn me into one of
those church people who don’t screw things up and look like they belong .

On top of it all, I did all that while I was coming down
with something.  So, my son and I were
back at the doctor yesterday where they did a mono test on my son and they
prescribed antibiotics for me (although I really may not need them… it might
just be a virus.) 

Then, this morning, still sick, I climbed out of bed and
continued cleaning the house on my quest to have it completely beautiful before
my husband comes home.  In our little
office area he had this tremendous stack of magazines and paper work and all
sorts of paper stuff so that it was piled about three feet high in one area
next to two other stacks that were about 2 feet high.  He also had an empty two-drawer file cabinet
there.  I went through the stacks getting
rid of stuff that I KNOW he really didn’t want to keep (like coupons that were
out of date and so forth). I filed the stuff that I know he does want to keep
(like notes from the various boards of directors he’s on) then separated the
rest by correspondence and magazines/periodicals for him to look through and
organize.  I also did my own desk which
was a little easier so that whole area is done now. 

After that I got my son up and moved to the living
room.  He seemed to be feeling a little
better.  Then I went on to work.  I didn’t make it long at work.  After about two hours I just gave up and left
because I felt too lousy.  Not only was
my nose dripping but my left eye was dripping too. I couldn’t even think.
YUCK.  Plus I was having to deal with
stupid NYC real estate transfer tax forms and was at the end of my rope with
the paper work.  I came home, did a
little tidying up then curled up here on the couch with my laptop.  I didn’t get a chance to login at all
yesterday, so this was a real treat today. 
I’m sure happy I got so much done while I was feeling well.  I’ll have a little maintenance to do in the
morning, but other than that, the place should look terrific when my husband
gets home tomorrow.  The family however,
well… we’re not so good.  I’m sitting
here sick on the couch, and my son’s test came back positive so he definitely
has mono.  He can go back to school on
Tuesday, though, because he seems to be feeling much better today.  I told my husband, when he called, that we
just can’t get a long with out him!

(okay, okay…. I know I’m becoming a smiley addict — perhaps the novelty will wear off soon… I don’t know. )
