Last night DS12 went to his dads, so DS6 and DD6 were ‘alone’ in their new bedrooms for the first time. DD has been sleeping alone since Tuesday, DS has not because he shares a room with his big brother, so he asked her if he could sleep over. He then asked me if it was okay that he slept over DD’s room “for a brother sister sleepover, just like the old days!” LMAO! The old days, soooo cute!
(That paragraph was from yesterday, about Friday night)
Wow, I started this 24 hours ago and am just now getting back to it, lol. In the last 24 hours I have failed at hanging the shelving I bought for DD’s room, resulting in ugly holes, patched/sanded/painted said holes so they are now non-existant (still no shelving up though, grrr), successfully purchased line for the trimmer and weed wacked the perimeter of half of the yard before the battery died, went on a 4 hour shopping excursion with the twins which resulted in the purchase of NO bra that is needed for vacation (but I did get adorable Michael Kors sandals for 50% off!) … kids PJs … a congratulations gift for newly pregnany XSIL from kids … scored blinds for DD’s room and hung those … returned everything on my shopping list and got 4 tank tops at Old Navy for $2 each!
Food yesterday was weird. Breakfast was late (egg beaters on english muffin) so I wasn’t hungry for lunch before we left for shopping, so I ended up sharing a popcorn at Target with the kids at 3 pm. Then at 5 they had McDonald’s which I didn’t want and wasn’t hungry for, so I had a vanilla cone from there. 150 calories and not quite real soft-serve, but it did satisfy the craving! Then at 7 pm I noticed my eggplants needed to be picked, so I took one of those, cut it up and made some fried eggplant. Not healthy, but considering my weird food day, all was still within calories.
Furniture … heh. Let’s see. Delivery of underbed storage for bunk bed was yesterday and so was the repair of the crooked slat and the newly discovered very loose top stair. Delivery came at 10:30, 5 minutes and underbed storage was in. Looks very nice. Asked the guy TWICE - when he first got there, and at the end, about the repair guy and he told me twice repair guy was coming separately. The window they gave me was until 11:44, so 12 pm rolls around and I call them and they say, “Oh, the delivery guy was supposed to fix it for you”. Then they said they could call them back, but it would be whenever they could fit me in and couldn’t give me a time. I was not spending my Saturday waiting for these idiots to come back. So after a few choice words, we rescheduled, again, for Wednesday. Another day out of the office. FURIOUS doesn’t define the way I feel about this company. Okay, moving on.
Linda, I was cracking up at your comment on the bra oxymoron … SO TRUE! Any strapless bra that stays up basically smooshes the girls to my chest like I wrapped them in an ace bandage. So I was looking for a corset type, but not having much luck with that either. Finally I ordered THREE different kinds from Kohls website, paid $26 shipping to make sure it would get here in time, and am praying that something in that shipment works for me. $26 shipping and it still won’t get here until Wed or Thurs? Geesh.
Today’s agenda is fairly simple:
This morning DS6 woke me up with a huge bowl of raisin bran that was 90% milk. I have to give the kid credit - he made it and carried it all the way up the stairs without spilling a drop! So I had to eat some, lol, although raisin bran the moment I open my eyeballs is not exactly appealing to me. He did it to thank me for his new XBox PJs I bought him yesterday. So cute.
Lunch will be whatever, a sandwich, and dinner will be something with chicken breasts I have in the fridge. I might just make a giant batch of chicken salad. The kids love it, and leftovers are good for lunches.
It is 9:13 am … I vow to be working out no later than 10 am to get it out of the way.
Vacation in 8 days! But I leave home in 7 days (stay at R’s since he lives near airport) … one week, woo hoo!
