August Eighth

I woke up at 5am with the worst anxiety. I think last night's tired and cranky children episode did me in. My daughter argued about wearing basketball shorts for gym. She packed yoga pants in 110 degree heat. And it's my fault. My son needed a hair trim, which I have almost successfully completed previously. This evening, he wasn't having it. He currently has a partial new hair style that we will be fixing after school. Wiggly boys and clippers don't mix. I'm never touching his hair again.
Today I'm aiming for a better day and keeping my stress in check. I have plenty of super strong home made cold brew coffee to get me through.
Back on the treadmill this evening!!! I'm so excited! It's been since Saturday and I missed this time to clear my head and get a workout in. I never would have thought that I would ever enjoy working out. But, it really does go to show that when you change your outlook, things become more enjoyable.

Dinner is sausage and some kind of veggie. Going to have to see what I have stocked in the freezer. I had bacon chips and hummus for lunch and a Kind bar to snack on.

Lastly for today... Loki's hair is all better now! Thank Satan! He's totally ready for picture day now! They sure do hit the ground running at school! 

Today is something about cat day, right? My kitteh is currently hiding somewhere, so no pics of her right now. How's this instead?

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!

Image
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.
