Good morning FS buddies!!
It's the bright, early, wonderful time of 6AM and I have already been up for an hour!! Hubby had to be at work a little earlier, then all the kids wanted to be up by 5:30. I had to sew a button onto a pair of pants, then just couldn't hold off on checking on my pals here, so here I am for a minute.
I noticed that I had some questions on my second journal yesterday, so thought I'd answer them here...
Your daughters START school at 7:25??? Or is that just when they have to leave? That sounds awefully early if it's when they start! Nope, Ev, that's when they START.... they like to be there by 7 or 7:10 to hang with friends first. So, yes, it's awfully early, especially when you take into consideration that they both have hair far below their shoulders which they feel needs to be straightened every morning, make up to put on, and possibly eat some breakfast... Thus, the 5:30 wake up time-- and we'll see if that's long enough :)
Are you going to make any special plans for your weekend off?
For my weekend off, I'm hoping to get up north to the Tacoma area to see my family (mom, brother and fam, and sister) and HOPEFULLY bullytrouble! I find it a little funny that her and I have known each other since we were about 10, she's the one who introduced me to this site, we only live 2 hours apart, yet we have not seen each other in YEARS (I've never met her daughters!!)! Seeing her will depend on their schedule, though.... And ALL of it depends on my husbands schedule... there's a possibility that he may have to work ;(
BTW, you know how they say that women who live together or are close tend to end up on the same cycle? Well, do you think the same is possible for women who journal daily on Fatsecret? TOM came to visit today, as I've seen he has visited so many others recently as well!! I'm feeling bloated and crampy. I'm looking forward to his series finale, but I hear that I probably still have at least 13 years before he even starts his exit :(
I suppose I should get myself ready to go as well. I have to get all the kids to school, then follow my oldest out to drop off her car to get the tranny repaired, bring her home, and then some more running around before they get out of school. Some crazy woman (I think it was me in a delirium) told my youngest daughter that she could have 4 or 5 friends over after school today! So, maybe instead of running around, I'll just come home and veg for a bit... Oh, yeah, almost forgot, have to get to my WW meeting site and weigh in today.. hoping TOM doesn't mess that up too bad!
Have a SUPER FANTASTIC day everyone! I'll check in later...
UPDATE: 1:30 PM
Well, so much for relaxing on my first day without kids home! I feel very accomplished, though. After getting the kids off to school and taking oldest daughter's car out to mechanic, I stopped by my WW meeting site for weigh in... up two pounds from last months WI, but I have to credit some of that to TOM's visit, so not stressing, yet. Got home about 10 and decided to organize my food pantry, which led to an all out house cleaning spree. So, for the last 3 hours, that is what I have been doing. Cleaned and organized the pantry, vacuumed the downstairs areas, wiped down tables, cleaned 2 upstairs bathrooms from top to bottom, including shower walls and sweeping and mopping floors (on hands and knees), and am in the middle of doing more laundry. Everything but the laundry is stuff that I hate to do and tend to put off--- I truly believe that showers should have the ability to clean themselves!! How the heck do you really get all of the cleaning chemicals off of the walls without taking a shower yourself?!? If any body has a secret, I'd love to hear!!
Just got through eating a Garden Burger and some mixed veggies for lunch. Have to start rounding up kids in about 20 minutes, and hubby has requested "inch a lottas" (that's how he texted his request to me earlier today LOL) for dinner, which take some prep, so..... I've got the rest of my day cut out for me!!!
