What's new

Mooooonday! Check in!

For the week...
I have an appointment with the head volunteer person at a local dog/cat no-kill adopt-out shelter on Wednesday. Waiting for hubby's paycheck to clear so I can pay some important bills.

Otherwise, my daughter and I (she made me promise!) are officially embarking on a "diet" between 1200 and 1500 calories whilst simultaneously starting to work out. I'm planning on doing a stretching DVD every day. So far it's helped a lot with my flexibility. And (gulp) I'm going to gently dive back into the 30 Day Shred AGAIN. I tell you, I'm getting kind of bored with Level One; I can never stay with it until I reach Level Two because of injuries!

And that's about it. No coffee. No wine. No chocolate or candy. I already deal with no coffee or wine because of medications. But the chocolate? ===> :overreact

OH my gosh....I have a super busy week - for me anyway. I try to limit how much I do in a week out of the house because then my anxiety goes through the roof so it should be an interesting week.

Today I am super sick. Just feeling flu like...chills, completely exhausted, achey...I have come to realize it is a symptom of my Fibro and I do this about one day a week lately. :(
Tues - I HAVE to do grocery shopping
Wed - I have Dr. appt. with a spine specialist to see if there are any issues there that might be causing my back pain.
Fri - Dog goes to the vet for a follow up. I took him in last Friday and found out he has some spine inflammation from an infection so he was barely walking. He is much better now! Yippee!
Sat - Hubby has an eye dr. appt. He turned 43 and his eyes went! LOL

Those are the scheduled things. Other than that I have scrapping to do (can't wait for BYOC btw), lots of working out and miles to run, studying to do and chores (sigh...yuck). I would love to start working on getting my guest room more like I want it - changing out the curtains, hanging all of my collectible plates and ceramic masks I have made on the walls, etc. We shall see. That is a big project. I would also LOVE to get my decor out for Halloween and get it put out. I know I will at least get that done. Whew - I'm tired from just thinking about my week! LOL

OH! And once I get my discount code for the challenges I did - I can buy Gina's family organizer and start working on that. YIPPEE!
 
I can't believe it is October!!! Seriously, so much happened in September and it still managed to fly by.

This week, we are adjusting to DH working out of town for the month (boo!) and just regular work, school, soccer, etc. We have some friends coming in the end of the week, but I think we are just seeing them out and about, so I don't necessarily have to clean my house just for them!

And I plan on doing some scrapping with this BYOC that is coming! :)
 
My office has downsized so much over the last 5 years that there are only two of us now. My boss agreed with me last week and we are moving our offices this month. Today started the measuring for file cabinets, will pick paint tomorrow and start the process of culling papers out of file cabinets that I'll bet will go back to the 50's. It's gonna be fun !?!
 
I am so not ready to accept that October is here. EEK! The year is flying by. Here comes the holiday hustle.

This week's schedule...
doc appointment for 7yo DS
ball practice
ball practice and make-up game
optometrist appointments for our whole 4 eyed family!! :giggle:
volunteer stuff at the school
a big coupon haul
county fair
cheer signups for 5yo DD

Oh and I gotta squeeze scrapping and a little sleep in there somewhere!!
 
Take Zofran. Drag my nauseous self out of bed. Get kids dressed. Put on sunglasses. Get in car. Drive to school. Come back home. Puke. Turn on TV. Lay on couch. Make lunch. Get back on couch. Pick up B from school. Get kids down for nap. Puke again. Go to bed. Wake up. Fix dinner. Pack luch. Get kids in bed. Puke. Lights out for me.

And so it continues...I actually can't wait for October to come to an end. Maybe then I'll feel human again.
 
How is it possible that October is here already?! Friday is my son's 6th birthday and in 20 days I will turn the big 3-0!
 
Hope everyone has a beautiful week!

I'm a busy bee this week. Lots of crafting and working and writing. And house and home stuff and such and such. Lather.Rinse.Repeat. LOL.
 
It's a quiet week here at my place. The kids are on school holidays and I am only working 1 day this week so we are doing lots of lazing around, reading and just hanging out together. The last term of the year is always crazy busy because it is so short and they always seem to cram WAY too much into it so it is nice for me and the girls to have this down time before it cranks right up. Both girls have piano exams in a month and I can't seem to get it through to them they need to practice more so maybe this week will be about NAGGING haha ... oh well you can lead a horse to water right?
 
I'm in shock! I'm not ready for October, let alone Nov. & Dec. yet!

Looking at the weather, I'll be frantically trying to finish up the staining & poly-ing of the shelves we're building for the living room before the temp drops too low on Thursday. We've been so good at working on them a little every weekend we're home, but it wasn't enough! :(

Otherwise I've got to grocery shop, lesson plan, laundry, AWANA/Youth, getting over our colds, teach, call my sister, make bread, write a talk & plan for ladies craft night on Friday. Oh, I'm also going to start tutoring a student in Physics.
 
I seriously can't believe how fast September shot by. Compete blur. :dizzy

This week not too much going on... Our weekend guest magician left this morning. I have an informational meeting tomorrow night for DD's big school camping trip next month. DS has D&D club after school tomorrow. (He and his friends actually started up the club so that they could get together after school and teach themselves how to play.) I think DD has Girls Scouts this week; I haven't checked the schedule. I need to figure out when I will be volunteering at DS's school library this week; I skipped last week. Oh, and I promised DD we could get the Halloween decorations out of the attic this week.

That's about it for the official schedule. Other than that, just the usual designing and housework and such! :) Doesn't sound like much. How come I always end up feeling so busy all the time?!!
 
crazy busy week for me . . .
Monday has been and gone for me, I did some designing and we went to see Madagascar 3
Tuesday - real work blah, SIL's birthday so off to spend time with her
Wednesday - DD has a birthday party to attend so I'm playing taxi and it's also my Dad's birthday he will be 80!! So off to help him celebrate too
Thursday - making the decorations for my Dad's birthday cake for his party on Saturday and real work
Friday - probably still making decorations
Saturday - little athletics in the morning and then my Dad's party in the evening
Sunday - hopefully nothing!!
 
The usual week for me. I am hoping to finally start finishing up all of the work I've been doing on my basement so I can get back to a regular scrapping schedule. I have been working on the basement with just about every free second and have been slacking on the housework and some days I haven't even had time to check in here! YIKES! I can't wait to post before and after pictures here though. It's amazing what a little paint and creativity can do to change a room completely!
 
I agree. September FLEW!!!
Still trying to keep up with everything going on... trusting in my crockpot lately.

Tues - Gabe's Soccer Day, Archery practice at night, Sophie volleyball, Me -an Accounting class
Wed - Sophie's Soccer Day, Gabe piano, Me - Illustrator class
Thursday - Gabe archery class, Sophie volleyball, Sophie piano Me - Illustrator class
Friday - BYOC lands!! WOOT! Sophie volleyball game

Weekend - Gosh.... I hope NOTHING. Whew.
 
Oh, gosh! I didn't mean to sound like I'm whining. That just really is how the last two weeks have gone for me. I've taken to calling this one, 'the parasite'. lol. I do have my first OB appt. tomorrow though. Excited to see the little bean. :)
 
Yay for seeing little beans! Makes all that nausea worth it. I am not looking forward to doing that again.

I'm actually super excited for October because I love fall and it is FINALLY cooling down here. But, both baby boy and I are sick, the house is cleaner but still kind of a mess, and I just want to sleep all day, except he won't sleep, so no luck there. ::sigh:: I do love fall, though. And I've already gotten to scrap with a couple of great fall kits.

I'm looking forward to the BYOC friday, though. It's the first time I'm going to try the BYOC challenge. Woot.
 
Okay.....so where did the first of October go to?!?!?! And Do. Not. Tell. Me. How. Many. Days. Until. Christmas.! There's no telling who will get shot! :)

Other than work, I'm getting stuff together for our big yard sale this weekend!
