The World According to Leslie

Once a year, most churches have Homecoming celebrations. I don’t know where the tradition started, but I have always been in churches that have them.   Today, the church that we recently left is having Homecoming. My parents still attend there, and Dad wants me to come help with the music. So, I’m going. The Princess and I are going. I’m not thrilled. I don’t really want to see everyone there again. There are a few people I could do without seeing again….ever. But, since Dad asked, I will be there.   After church, the Princess and I will be coming home to get a lot of work done. She has two projects for books that she completed last week.  She is on book 6 now for the school year. I am getting ready to start book 4 for myself.   I have plenty of stuff for the PTC from her school to take care of this afternoon.    We will be plenty busy. Not to mention….laundry, homework, and groceries.  All the while, Tony is working and we get to do it...

Monday night, I had a PTC chair meeting at the Princess’s school.  I’m the chair of the social committee for the PTC (Parent Teacher Committee).   Tuesday night, I had a Teacher Appreciation sub-committee meeting. 2 hours. Accomplished a lot!     Tonight (Wednesday) I have a Hospitality sub-committee meeting. 2 hours. Hopefully will accomplish a lot!   Tomorrow we start Girl Scouts for the year! I hate starting so late, but we had to get some new girls. Right now, we have like 15, I think. We always accept more.   Friday, I have to work the gate for the football game at school.  Once that is finished, I will be coming home to crash…..  Yeah right! That’s not how it works.   Saturday, while Tony is working, the Princess and I have to be at the softball field for a double header! That makes for a VERY long day!   Sunday, I’m going to my mom and dad’s church (the church that we recently left). Dad asked me to come ba...

Today, my pastor will be speaking at a different church.  We will have the pastor of that church speaking at our church.  Why is this special?  Well.... the churches are two different denominations.  However, we try to do this once a year....on Crossover Sunday. Tonight we will gather at another different church and meet with several different churches.  Some baptist.  Some Church of God.  Some A.M.E. Zion.  Some non-denominational.  A little of everything.  And we will sing.  Each church has a song or two.  We will sing and sing until the singing is done. :) I love Crossover Sunday!

Yesterday, I spent almost 12 hours scrapbooking with my Scrap Happy Divas.  I love hanging out with these girls!  Scrapbooking IS therapy! :)  While I was there, Tony and the Princess took my car to have the oil changed.  They also washed it.  Since we live in the South, the salt trucks were out like crazy for the past couple of weeks.  We have had "snow" one Friday and "ice" the next!  This week, it's supposed to hit 70!  (REALLY!?!?!?!?)  That's nuts! Today, we had church this morning.  Then lunch at IHOP! :)  Love that place!  Then...grocery shopping.  We went to Sam's Club, first. The greeter at the door said, "Are you paying with cash?"  (Really, do people still carry cash?!)  We said, "No."  He said, "Then the lines are going to be long because the credit card/debit card machine just went out!"  I sent Tony back to the car to get my purse.  The only MANDATORY thing was some chee...
