  • CATCH UP SUNDAY


    I normally relax mostly on Sunday's but I really need to catch up today.  I decided not to go to the movie with my SIL's since I really had things to do, my kitchen is trashed from making egg rolls.  I can't stand it!   So today I will catch up.........and hopefully read a bit!

  • AAAAH....Sunday, the last day of the weekend.  This weekend has gone far too fast, like all the other ones.  Yesterday I did manage to take a nap after making all those egg rolls.  Tommy ate a whole Egg Roll, he likes them!!  We also watched one movie yesterday.  We watched "About a Boy" based on a book by Nick Hornsby I think it is.  I have not read the book.  Otherwise I played with Tommy and just hung out.


    Today I am suppose to go to the movie with my SIL"s Bonnie and Julie.   We are going to see "10 ways to get rid of a guy".  I don't really want to go.  It is still so cold out.  I like to just go to church and stay in the house!!  BRRRRRRRRRRR....but I am sure I will go. 


    Let's see what else is new..hmmmm...I finished listening to the book "Suzanne's Diary to Nicholas".  I was a good book, sort of Bridges of Madison County...etc...it makes ya cry a bit.  It was a short, easy read.  I am now reading Street Lawyer by John Grisham.


    I should go update my books read in 2003 page and get ready for church.   Have a great and relaxing Sunday!

  • Just finished making over 70 egg rolls. YUMMY!!! My tummy is full and I need a nap now. 


    This morning we met with Erik's other set of parents and devised a game plan with how to work with the school on some issues.  it actually went very well.  Then we ran to the asian grocery store and bought all the making for Egg Roll..........and now..............Nap Time!!  LateR!

  • Up early this morning and haven't accomplished much yet.  I guess I am just in a mood.  I am sure it will pass.   I am finishing up a load of laundry already this morning.  Hubby has left to take Josh to school since it is soooo cold today!  it is -13 degrees today, which a wind chill of like -30.  Not a good day to stand at the bus stop!

    Have  a great Friday!!!   Maybe I will check in at noon if I am on schedule! 

  • Musikgarten was very fun tonight.  Tommy got to play a number of instruments.  He didn't like when his turn was over though.  I am heading to bed early tonight, I am really tired!!  I am not sure why.  I thought I slept fine last night. 


    Work was fine today, but we still have a lot of tension in our unit, which isn't making it the most enjoyable place to work.  Oh well..I said my piece, now I am fine and will just ride if out and see what happens.  Tomorrow I am working from home I have have a lot of paper work I hope to get done tomorrow.  I have seven reports I want to write.  I hope I get a lot accomplished!!!

    Tuesday - I went out after work for supper with my friend, Deb.   It was very nice.  We chatted and chatted.  That was so nice to have a few hours with a firend.  I really enjoyed myself.  I have n't bee very good about maintaining friendship, I get so caught up in my life all the time.  But Deb is great!


    Wednesday - Hurried home after work.  Driving was slow due to snow and ice.  I had to stop at the grocery store and pick up food for a church member.  She is having some medical difficulties so we all brougth a frozen meal for her family.  Families First was fiine, we talked about fears again and handling stress.  After I got home I called my brother, Harlan.   Erik needed to write a letter to a person and send them a "flat Stanley".  Erik chose his uncle Harlan to help with the project.  Then Harlan needs to write a letter to Erik about Stanley day of adventures with him.  lOL!!!  I called my brother and he was great!  He said he would do it and it sounded like fun!    I can't wait to see what Stanley does!

    TO DO TUESDAY



    • MY FREE DAY - going out with Deb for Supper
    • 15- minutes zone- Plastics Cupboard
    • Wash Dishes
    • One Load Laundry 
    • Evening Routine
    • Spanish Vocab with Josh
    • Exercise

  • I had a very productive evening at home and completed all my list and a few things.  That makes me feel good, since my day had been going wrong all day.  Also I am planning on going out to supper with my friend, Deb tomorrow night to celebrate my Birthday with her. 


    Today didn't go the best.  I seemed to be off to a good start this morning,  I was up extra early and everything.  But I just didn't do well with my routine and that throws everything off for the entire day I guess.  I head off to daycare and as I drive there I look in the rearview mirror and realize I had forgotten to put my makeup on.  ARGH!!  So I drop Tom off at daycare and come home to put some makeup on.  With all the snow the driving is very slow, so this all tales a while.  I get to work and I do have my ID badge, but I forgot my purse.  My friend, Deb loans me a 20 for gas and junk as I have two meetings out of town. 


    I head to my first meeting, it is in Bloomington.  I reach in my bag to grab the directions and they aren't there...ARGH!! I forgot them on my desk in the office.   Luckily I have been here a couple of times and I recall how to get there.  I have never been to the place for the second meeting, so that should be interesting.   My first meeting goes much faster than I thought and I have time in between meetings, but not enough to go to the office and actually do anything.  I go and grab some drive thru and head to the local library. 


    At the library I ask the library about using the Internet so I can look up the directions to my next meeting.  She wants my library card.  ARGH....it is in my purse.   Luckily I am a huge geek and have my bar code memorized so I was able to log onto the Internet and get the info I needed.  Ok....I still had a few minutes to kill.  So I look up to see if they have a copy of the book I am currently reading, nope one copy and it is checked out.  I know I have "street Lawyer" on my TBR pile so I grab a copy of that and read for a bit.  I really needed this break I was frazzled, nothing was going as planned.  ARGH!!    That gets me so flustered as I am a huge planner/list maker as you know.  I read and then head to my next meeting with driving directions in hand.  I get to the family's home and they forgot I was coming and weren't home!! ARgh....what a perfect ending to my day!!  TIME TO GO HOME!!!


    So home I went!  I got home and I did my weekly cleaning, which took a little under an hour.   Called H&R Block and the message said my refund was on the way to the bank.  YEAH!!!  I gave Tommy a bath, practiced Spanish Vocab with Josh and washed the dishes.  It was a productive and enjoyable evening at home, too bad work was so goofed up. 


    I am off to exercise and head to bed.  Have a great week, the worst is over, MONDAY!!
