Mavie – Ain’t that the poops. My hubby is king of throwing off my plans. I know things happen for a reason (God has a plan every day you know) but still, just one organized fall into place day would be fantastic! Hope you KEPT CALM AND ENJOYED IT!
Diana – Awesome, fun, incredible art work, sister! I’m sure someone will fall in love with one of them! How did you do on Barnyard Punks (I think that was the series, right?) I’m gonna follow your suggestion to Mindy, and search pinterest for dragonflies too. Sounds awesome!
Mtiggie (AND MAVIE) - I so understand the adult kids being more difficult. They want to be “respected” and treated like adults, but want all the luxuries of the 12 year olds. So hard to balance when to get out of their way and let them flop while risking them living with you FOREVER. I totally get the bill paying too. Nic works part-time, pays his car payment and insurance. That’s it. When I ask what he plans to eat for meals (rather than MY stuff) he gives me a two item list. Eats in all in two days, and then is back in my stash. Irritating. On another note, Mindy, glad you have all your choppers fixed!
Jen –
on Mak becoming a woman. Such a bitter sweet thing. She's got a good mamma and is lucky to have had some discussion prior to arrival. Not fun for any of us, but sounds like she's a trooper! I hope camp was amazing for the kids!
Ms. CARMA – where are you? Hope your back soon!
So yard sale was a success. Pulled in almost $900 bucks! Friday was HOT! 105 AND ABOUT 80% HUMIDITY. It was the longest 6 hours of my life. Yesterday was better. About 85 with cloud cover. The thunderstorm (due around 1pm) hit at 10am and it was a mad rush to tarp everything. It was a good sale. Now its pack up the leftovers for Salvation Army.
NS on point starting today. My 2nd box of food arrived with my “10lbs Lost” bear in it. Kind of fun! 214 this AM and looking forward to moving the scale. I saw 212 this weekend, but I’m sure it was because I was melting in the heat.
Lastly, - I have to tell you girls, I am still so impressed by the running that gets reported here. You chicks are animals. I gotta get to it. Researching some new shoes. Looking to start September 1st (hoping for a cool down in weather by then too!
OK. Goal for today – Bullet Journal – I have tried to use technology to keep me organized and I just keep coming back to scribbling to-do lists. Found this through PINTEREST and going to give it a whirl. Hopefully it will be a workable system for blending life, work, and me.
WEED – (This is going in my journal!)
W- 80oz goal (go get your water bottle out and start now!)
E – 2 dog walks this week, Kris. You have to get the animals some energy burn off too.
E- NS – POP – no excuses
D – Commit to the plan and work it. Don’t look for something better 2 days in.
