August Eighteenth


Four days of feeling tired, pained and sick and I'm finally starting to feel normal again. I actually can't wait to get back into the routine of the week on Monday. But, yes, until then I will be taking it easy and resting all I can. We have a movie planned and baths and facials for the afternoon. Dinner will be sirloin steaks on the grill and veggies.

I'm getting to enjoy some time outside this afternoon. It's not as hot out and laying in the pool and watching the clouds is so soothing. I am wondering when we'll get more rain.

Tomorrow we'll get to spend some time planning the kids birthday party next month. We have our vacation planned for October this year, when the kids are on fall break, instead of in September when they'd have to miss school.

Oddly, I have nothing to really muse about today. Just kinda taking things as they come and mentally preparing for next week. My brain is a little quiet today. Usually happens when I don't feel well. It's hard to concentrate on anything.

Let's see what tomorrow brings....

Cookies. Why yes. Yes I'll have a case.

My workout motivation just arrived last night by the case full. Girl Scout Cookie season is in full swing and I love Thin Mints as much as I love drinking and cursing. So, that's an awful lot. If you'd like to support some awesome little ladies and remove just a small box of temptation from my presence, hit me up. I'd be glad to get you your fix. And maybe I'll let you chase my toddler to burn a few calories. That's what I did this morning.

Hello New Year, Bye Bye Tonsils!

We've started off this year with a BANG! Well, kind of. I guess? I don't do resolutions. But, I did set new ground rules for behavior around here.  Bella had been getting a weekly allowance since she was 3 for doing chores around the house. Lately, the allure of doing chores for allowance has diminished and the Christmas brattiness had been setting in. I came up with a new plan as of New Years. For every time Bella acts up, has a tantrum (apparently she hasn't outgrown these) or talks back, she loses a toy. I keep a big box in a storage area to put them in. For each day she completes her chores (usually only on Wednesdays and Sundays), she gets to get a toy back. Plus, at the end of the month, if she had done her chores and hasn't lost too many more toys, she gets an allowance. She seems to like this idea so far and hasn't lost many toys this year yet.  As for her brother, he's still too little to understand a lot of rules. But, we do make him pick up h

I feel like...

That episode of Sponge Bob where  Sponge Bob and Patrick are selling chocolate bars and that one crazy fish dude is chasing them and yelling "Chocolate!" I'm the crazy fish dude. But I have an accomplice. I guess hump day really needs to happen...... If you know what I mean.
