It’s Sunday morning and I feel like I need to set the tone for the week - a better tone than this past week.  I made it through a few planned events, lol, and this week is a little more toned down (but not much).  The sky is blue though, which is a wonderful sight, even if it is cold.

Sometimes I am too ambitious for my own good.  I have two toilets in my house that were running nonstop, causing me to receive a water bill that is $60 more than usual.  I’ve been tinkering with them and fixing them, but as my mom pointed out, the house is now 10 years old and these being the original valves, etc., they probably need to be fully replaced.  I had replaced the one in my master bath last year (all by myself, woo hoo!) so I figured I can do these too.  Well, halfway through I ran into a snag in the downstairs bath when I didn’t have the right type of wrench for the mounting nut and it is different than the one I did last year, so I just couldn’t get it off.  So I moved to the upstairs kids bath.  Got to the SAME point, toilet in peices, and it is the same mounting nut.  Can’t get that one off either.  So, I need to get (or preferrably borrow) the correct tool.  Until then, both toilets are dissembled.  Yikes.

I had a really nice visit with my family this weekend.  It also involved lots of food, as always.  I made mostly healthy stuff, with the exception of the corned beef yesterday.  But we always have corned beef each March, and it’s only once per year.  I have been running nonstop lately, literally.  I don’t even want to rehash how bad last week was.  I didn’t even sit down to eat dinner Tues - Thurs.  I eat at the counter while trying to multi-task because we had somewhere else to be right after each dinner.

House is fairly clean right now, with the exception of toilet parts.  My family always helps out to get things back to normal before they leave.  I have a ton of school work to do today, DD has a birthday party 4:30 - 6:30, and it is half hour away.  You have NO IDEA how inconvenient this is for me.  Sundays are my cleaning/food shopping/school work/prepare for the week day.  Usually done in PJs.  I want to, no, I NEED TO, exercise today too.  My school work has to come first today though … last Sunday MBFF and family were here and I rushed through, had no time to myself whastoever, and I got my first B to show for it.  Extremely disappointing.  (And it was something so stupid -  a journal assignment!  Arghghgh!  All because I didn’t cite the management theory I was talking about to our text book … in a frigging JOURNAL)
