Hooookay. What’s on my mind tonight? Hmmmm.
You are such a sadist. i wish i could take a night off for braindeadedness now and again.
i guess i’ll start with my day. The baby is such a pill lately. Now that he’s found the stairs, there is NO stopping him. i think we may just have to say ’screw it’ and drill holes into the walls at the base of the stairs and mount a gate. It’ll jack up the wood, but he must have found a way to escape one of us half a dozen times today. Twice he made it all the way up to the top of the stairs. No landing… just a long-ass flight of stairs and a hard wood landing if he were to fall. He is relentless.
It was nice to have the 22yo up for dinner again tonight. It was a blast to do the Singstar thing. What i lack in talent, i make up for in volume. i may not sing well, but i sing LOUD, damn it! It really was a lot of fun, and the girls were really good about letting the boys play along. The 2yo has the soul of a rocker. You should have seen him.
i did the two-mile walk DVD this morning. It’s an okay workout. Not even close to the freakin tae bo, but i used the little two-pound weights, and i’m sure it did some good. i need to find something between the walking DVD and the Extreme Tae Bo workout. Tomorrow i’ll do the walking one again, though – because it’s just simpler than trying to do complex moves with the boys all up in my business. At least today it was easier. Maybe they just need to get used to it.
The diet was harder today. i tried to stay away from the caffeine more (as per your instructions) and i think that jacked me up some. i got hungry today. Also, i am just burning more calories, too. i don’t know. It certainly wasn’t unbearable. Being a little hungry isn’t the worst thing.
It kinda felt like it at the time though. Heh.
i’m so discombobulated. i guess it’s the diet tracking and extra time for the work-outs… maybe it’s just the change in my routine (which you know is hard for me), but i can’t seem to get anything done! i had a talk with the 17yo about the laundry situation. i did three loads of laundry and MAYBE half a load of it was mine and the boys – the other 2.5 loads of laundry was teenaged girl stuff. It took most of the day to sort through the disaster they left in the laundry room. We need a better system. i want to blame the 19yo since we didn’t have this problem before she moved back home, but who knows? The 17yo was unwilling to lay blame on her sister (and THAT’S an unlikely thing) so i have to believe it’s not all her fault.
Tomorrow i’ll talk to her about it, too. Then i’ll do some of OUR laundry, because we need it!
i’m really excited about your job prospect, and also about going to the MAsT meeting on Saturday. This is a big weekend for us. i’m stoked.
Tomorrow: i need to go to the grocery store before the 19yo leaves for school at noon. i’d like to get my work out done, and then shower and go – getting back before noon, but if that’s not possible (and it may not be, depending on the boys, my dad and everything) i’ll give her a small list and send her.
The 17yo has school. Fish is on the menu, and it should just be me, the boys, my dad and the 17yo.
i have to do those tasks for you (the work laundry, the candles and stuff), i need to clean our room, work on other laundry, and make sure the house is in order before you get home around 9:30 tomorrow night.
The 17yo gave me a book and i am dying to start it. i know. i know. Duma Key. i am enjoying it, too. My reading lust is greater than my free time.
i’m so, so, so glad you’re coming home tomorrow. i miss you so much. i need you. i want you. i love you.
