since sunday.

In some ways, it's hard to believe it's only Tuesday morning.  So much has taken place in the last couple of days.  We've had a steady stream of family here.  I love having them, but I am a bit tired of entertaining/doing dishes.  I'm also housesitting this week for some friends, which may turn out well because I think some company may need my bed later this week.  Most of the memorial service plans have been made (graveside for family Thursday, service on Friday).  Gramma and her 3 kids spent all afternoon and into the evening meeting with the mortuary and church making plans.  Everyone was here for dinner last night, then we jumped right back into planning.  I typed the obituary as I received the input from others, finally finishing around 10:30 last night.  I'm exhausted, as I think pretty much everyone is.  For whatever reason, I've been waking up around 7 every morning for more than a week.  Apparently I can't sleep in any longer.  I've reverted back to my days of student teaching in which caffeine helped me survive the days.  Before this week, I haven't really had caffeine (except maybe once or twice) for months.  Hopefully things will somewhat normalize by next week.

Pretty exciting plans for today: Going to go clean Gramma's house!  She isn't able to do much on her own, and it's been awhile since we've been over to help.  Other than that, pretty much just hanging out, funeral planning, and possibly getting a little work done (we'll see about that...). 

On another note, I have more sewing and crochet projects waiting for me than I can possibly do right now.  On top of that, my mom is planning to get a new sewing machine and I hope to learn quilting sometime soon! 

Ok, off to get ready.  Hope your last week of 2010 (can you even believe that?) is a good one!
