My head is pounding, my stomach is nauseous, my eye is itchy, and I am non-stop sneezing. What I thought all week was me sneezing due to extra dust from moving around the rooms, apparently may really be me getting sick. It is 9:17 and the painter guy will be here around 11, and I wanted to do my workout beforehand. I am sitting here fighting with myself: Kelly, look at yourself. You feel like crap, your head is killing you, what kind of energy are you going to use on this workout when you are like this? BUT Kelly, you only did the treadmill yesterday, you NEED to workout today, if you save it “for later” it may never happen, so get off your big butt and do it!
Ouch.
I just had an english muffin so the tummy is feeling a little better. I haven’t taken anything for the headache because the only thing I have involves PM in the name .. lol .. DEFINITELY don’t want to take that! OH WAIT! I just remembered I recently bought some Excedrin Tension Headache. BRB!
Ok, med taken, fresh coffee poured. Maybe this will kick in soon and I can get a workout in at 10 am … Get Chiseled is 40 minutes. 40 grueling minutes. Except that my legs just hurt walking back up the stairs.
I didn’t sleep very well again last night. DD slept over, her room won’t be ready until tomorrow the earliest and being that the boys had a friend sleeping over in their room, I had her in mine. She is such a wiggle worm all night! I can’t take it! lol
Yesterday we did a few more things around the house in the AM, then I sat out in the backyard for about 45 minutes. We had lunch, I walked on the treadmill for half an hour, then showered and went school shopping. Never. Again. I thought it would be “fun” to involve the little ones and allow them to pick out some things. Well, first of all … my little 6 yo son - ALL the kid wanted was a down vest from Old Navy, that he WORE around the whole store … In August. And wanted to wear through the mall, but I had to put my foot down there. And a Bakugan shirt (some weird character thing) that we had to negotiate the color of. DD6 though … lol. Oh boy, I can’t wait to see what she will be like in 8 or 10 years. This is too sparkly, she doesn’t like stripes, nothing plaid, HAD to have a denim skirt with a ruffle on it. But the focus of her shopping trip was going into Claires to get bracelets for her outfits. We found the cutest purple belted trench coat at ON, and first she wouldn’t even think about it because it was corduroy (lmao) but then she tried it on and loved it, was posing in front of the mirror and I had to tear it off of her. (It really is adorable though)
DS12 was the least picky! All that and the boys only got two outfits each and a couple extra things, sneakers, etc. and DD didn’t even get one FULL matching outfit. Sigh. I did order the a lot of things online though, and I will have to go back out by myself. She was too much. Then I spent another small fortune in Target on more room stuff - I swear, I am so done. Let this be over. They had a pink chandelier nightlight. How could I resist?
The kids had Wendys at the mall for dinner and I had one slice of veggie pizza. We didn’t get home until after 9, and by the time we put everything away it was already late. I watched Knowing … it was okay. I thought it would be better.
So today is get the painter situated at 11, then like 11:45 I have to leave to head to MBFF’s youngest son’s birthday party. Only 1 kid RSVP’d so she canceled the place she was having it at, and is just doing it at the pool. It is overcast and drizzly right now, that could change. The painter is actually MBFF’s employee, so I trust that he will be fine here alone. R told me to lock up my valuables, and I laughed … what valuables? Okay, I will take my Louis Vuittons with me in the car. He wouldn’t know what they are anyway. I’m just teasing, I am not worried about it.
So anyway I want to be back here around 4-5. I am not sure how long this room will take him because there is also a corner that he needs to fix, retape/compound. I guess I *could* workout tonight if I had to, but I really wanted to get it done this morning. Tonight I need to mop the floors and get the kids allllll ready for a new week at camp. OH, and I need to get to the supermarket at some point! Sigh.
Okay, I am going to go nose around here. I may put on my workout clothes just to see how I feel. Oh, I did buy myself something yesterday - a cute new yoga outfit!
Sometime today, I am determined to get some sort of physical activity in!

Okay, did 33 minutes of DVD. I only have the ab work and stretch left, so I will fit that in later, didn’t have time this morning. Painting is 90% done and looks adorable, it is the PERFECT shade of lavender! On the pinker side, not the grayer side … like some lavenders can be grayish. Home from birthday stuff, going to make a chicken enchilada dish for dinner, then later have to run out to groceries.

My DD’s room is lilac. White drapes/comforter. Very soothing. Hope you get your painting et. al. finished. Sounds like you did some serious damage to your pocketbook! And a pink chandelier night light would definitely be a must have item.
