Ah, well, let's give this a go!

-2 babies born to friends
-1 baby afghan crocheted (almost complete) and 1 baby cardigan knit 
(not started yet)
-1 combined birthday party for my 2 older kids (their birthdays are 
18 days apart)
-1 holiday in Cornwall (southwest England)...I hope!
-1 child starting preschool
-many hours playing the piano; it's been sitting idle for months!
-dozens of books read, including a comprehensive reread of books 1-4
-dozens of hours working at school as a lunchtime supervisor (love it)
-dozens more hours working at school voluntarily (love it)
-5 PTA meetings
-5 preschool committee meetings
-2 school discos
-about 20 Rainbows meetings (wee tiny Girl Guides)
-3 Rainbows planning meetings, which consist of 20 minutes of 
planning and 4 hours of wine, Chinese takeaway, and gossip
-1 or 2 Guide District meetings, which tend to take place in pubs 
(see why I love Guiding? ;) )
-several hours working towards becoming a Warranted Guide Leader
-at least 1 Beaver Scout meeting, after I opened my mouth and 
said "Sure, I can help out" before my brain kicked into gear
-some weight loss...*hopefully*
-several hours happily Elfing
-many craft projects started but not completed (trust me on this one)
-oh, and 1 or 2 hours of housework ;)

I, too, am glad that OoP is out on a Saturday, as I plan to lock 
myself away from DH and the kids, read non-stop, and hopefully finish 
it before Monday.  Sleep?  Who needs sleep?
