4/7/09 Survived day 1 of Spring Break!

Filed Under Uncategorized | 3 Comments

Yesterday…was not so fun.  Granted I have seen worse days, but the kids are already whining and picking on each other, and the girl was just constantly getting into SOMETHING!  It makes me worried for summer, but I keep telling myself, it will be warm then, so I’ll want to get out more, and there will be more to do (zoo, botanical gardens, swimming, etc).  I’m not sure if I’m buying it though lol.  I guess I better make up some sort of master plan for when that time comes!

Thankfully I also managed to find something in the house for dinner, so we had grilled honey garlic pork chops, some kind of potato thing (bleh) and a veggie.  Not the most exciting but oh well.  HOwever this now means that I HAVE to go out today to pick up some things..and it is still cold :(  I swear I need to move somewhere warmer.  Or it just needs to warm up here ;p

So, that is what I am off to do..get the kids and myself ready (I am still in pjs lol) and drag my sorry butt out to the car to get some food.  Hopefully the girl will fall asleep on the way home and I can take a nap!  Yes, I know it is only 9:30 ;p””

4/6/09 Brrrrr…..

*shivers*  It is supposed to be spring here people!!!  So WHY is it currently 37* and SNOWING???  Ok, no accumulation but seriously, as I type it is snowing fat little fluffy bits of snow past my living room window!  Did I mention that yesterday we had a high of 65*?  No?  There are many things I like about where I live…the weather is NOT one of them.  And the worst part of it is that unless I can find SOMETHING in this house for dinner tonight, I have to go out in this cold yuck to get groceries :(  I am praying for something in the freezer to magically appear.    I guess I should be thankful, at least I’m not one of those poor schmucks who are braving the freezing temps to attend today’s opening day for the St. Louis Cardinals.  I will watch that in the relative comfort of my own home :)

Weekend was busy and definitely not long enough.  Friday night was my Relay for Life team’s Trivia tournament.  I think we had a pretty good turnout and everyone seemed like they had a good time.  We raised over $2,000 and I didn’t get home till after midnight!  Which reminds me..I am 1/3 of the way to my personal goal :)  The only thing I haven’t figured out yet is who has donated to me, because usually it is only my family who donates and I get the $ from them in person.  Supposedly there is a way to find out so I need to see if I can figure it out because the wondering is killing me lol.  I’m wondering if something isn’t showing up on my computer because it is a Mac, maybe I will try DH’s computer and see if I can look that info up.

The boys are on spring break this week…I hope I can keep them entertained and that the fighting is minimal.  I am hopeful but not truly optimistic lol.  Today we are just going to kind of hang out here, maybe tomorrow  I will take them to the library.   One day this week I will take them bowling..I enrolled them in the kidsbowlfree.com program which gives them each 2 free games a day through the summer, and the program started today :)  Other than that, I have no idea…I’d love to go to the zoo but it isn’t supposed to be very warm this week *sigh*.  I wish they’d move Spring Break to later in the month..I bet you anything next week it will be beautiful with warm temps and sunny skies!  

I guess I should get going around here…It is 9;15 a.m and I am still sitting her in my pajamas, and I really do have a lot of (uninteresting) things to do today.  Here’s to a good start of the week ladies!

4/1/09 Wednesday again!

I like Wednesdays..that means we are just a couple of days away from the weekend :D  Not much going on over here.  Still tired, I haven’t been sleeping well the last couple of weeks for some reason.  It’s one of those things where you lay down, and then you wake up and it’s like you never went to sleep..like your brain was on overdrive all night long.  I rarely take any medicine but it is bad enough that I am thinking of taking some tylenol pm or something tonight..I just feel like I’m running on fumes or something, and I know if I don’t get a decent night’s sleep soon it is going to catch up with me.  

I just spent the last half an hour blowing yolks out of eggs.  Kids’ Spring Break is next week so I thought we’d do a craft and decorate some eggs to look like Easter eggs.  I blew out the yolks, set them in some bleach water, and am now letting them dry for a couple of days.  Then I will cover the holes on the end with tissue paper and next week the kids can decorate them with glue, glitter, beads, etc.  I might put some ribbon on them and label them with some sort of tag, and they can do one each year.  I think they would be pretty hanging on a tree of some sort.  I’m also going to do a couple for their annual Easter egg hunt, except they will have money rolled up and stuck inside of them.  Hopefully they will turn out decent!

Other news, I updated the “My Progress” page here on my blog.  Not a whole lot of change in the last 3 weeks, but I guess it is something?  I haven’t really been trying so I can’t complain about my lack of progress.  However, I am considering joining Curves again.  I had joined once before when my DS #2 was 8 weeks and it is really the last time I can remember ever seeing results or sticking with anything for very long.  I had to quit when I ran out of babysitters and haven’t been back.  I did work out at the Y a lot a few years ago but still never really saw results either, so maybe this is what I need?  Unfortunately I am not sure what to do…if I join this week they will let me tag onto the end of March’s special, which is basically you bring in a bag of food for their food drive and they waive the $99 registration fee and then it is $34 a month.  Money is really tight this month, so I may have to wait a few months and hope a good deal comes around again, but I am really tired of being tired and not having the motivation to do anything about it.  I really need that push that they give you, because there is always someone there working, and they are very involved with you, not just sitting at their desk.  When I called and told them my name they still remembered me even though I haven’t been there in 3+ years! Hmm..what to do what to do…It is also about $10 more than if I upped our membership at the Y to a fitness center membership (but does not include any classes I would take). Which I would do, if DH would go too, like he has been saying he would, but I don’t know if he really will or not.  I KNOW I would go to Curves, and I can fit in a 30 minute session easily.  Gah..I don’t know!  I guess I will talk to DH tonight and see what he thinks.

I am going to go lay down for a little bit before heading out to do more errands.  Hope you are all having a nice week :)
