Under the Gun

In the midst of busy Holy Week and Easter Preparations...I got a little behind with in-laws visiting till yesterday. So I have to finish the Spring Cleaning (not much to go), get the grocery shopping done, and get as much prepped as possible before Sunday.

The game plan is as follows:

Wednesday:
-take goodies to a new mommy
-Walmart or BJ's to pick up the ham and a few other essentials
-have DH help with Pearl so can clean up the office and guest bath

Thursday:
-Grocery store run in AM
-Finish cleaning chores
-Mass of the Last Supper at 7:30PM

Friday:
-Veneration of the Cross at 3PM

Saturday:
-make buns
-Take basket of Easter Foods to church for Easter Food Blessing--Swieconka at Noon
-cut cheese slices and salad veggies (reserve in tupperware)
-pull out platters and bowls (put sticky notes in each designating what dish it will be)
-set table with flatware and china
-arrange living room and serving areas
-Easter Vigil at 8PM

Now, back to the business at hand.
