A long weekend, but it went by very quickly. This is the first time I have had time to sit down and blog.
Saturday -
The usual things, slept in a bit and then got up and went to the library, post office and Target for light bulbs. I took Erik and Tom with me as Josh was sleeping when I was ready to go. The rest of the afternoon was lunch, and Tommy's nap. While Tommy napped I made the menu and grocery list for the next two weeks. I never go to the grocery store without my menu and coupons done. After leftover ribs for supper, hubby and I went to get groceries. We spent 110.00 for two weeks of groceries. Not too bad, hubby only threw in about 10.00 worth of extras so I figure I was right on budget. LOL!!!
Saturday night Tommy actually slept through the night. YEAH!!
SUNDAY =
We were up and ready for Church on time except for sleeing beauty, Josh! He is always making us nearly late. After church we made grill cheese and soup. Tommy and I took our afternoon naps. I got up around 2:00 and got ready to go out with my SIL's. We had a great time!! We went out for our birthdays! Sunday was my birthday. We saw the movie "Somethings Gotta give", very funny!! Loved it! Then we went to Applebee's for drinks and appetizers. We had a wonderulf time. I got home around midnight! I fell into bed only to be woken at 2:00am by my little guy. He was crying so I brought him to our bed. He talked, and talked until finally at 6:00am, he finally went back to sleep. I tried to put him back in his bed about 4 various times throughout the night. Argh!!
MONDAY!!
I nearly over slept for my appointment at the Spa. I got there just in time. I had a lovely time. I had my hair highlighted, cut and my eye brows waxed. All this while I drank my water from a crystal wine glass and read gossip magazines....AAAAHH.... that is the life!! My hubby spoils me!!! He loves my hair long and I cut it short....but he really loves it, so do I! It is very hip and trendy the way they styled it. Not like it will ever look like that again. I can't ever style my hair like they do!! Then hubby took me to buy my birthday present. He bought me a beautiful wooden sewing box. My plastic one is all cracked, etc. Then I spent the rest of the afternoon shopping with my SIL. THere was a fabulous sale at Old Navy so I took hubby and Josh back to get a bunch of winter stuff. Their polar fleece usually 24-36.00 each were only 6.99. A great deal. I got Josh 3 hoodies and 2 for Erik. My hubby is always wanting to buy better clothes for Erik. Actually my hubby is pretty particular on how the boys clothes look. He hates anything too big or old looking.
Well I just finished my book for book group this week. msCaffieneaddict - I really liked the book, Curious Incident of a Dog at Midnight. I really could relate to the character and thought they really explained his way of thinking very well. He is my nephew to a tee!!! LOL!!! Next up for my book group is Wuthering Heights. I will listen to that on tape while I drive to work, and will try and finish reading the Davinci Code. I am off to bed....later all!!!
Hope you have a wonderful week!!

I tried to go to bed early last night. Hubby didn't cooperate, he was in and out of the bedroom a million times and did go to bed until after midnight, then he needed to read with the light on. I was very crabby about this all.
Tommy woke up around 3:00am and again at 7:00am for the day. I guess I am never meant to have a complete night of sleep again.
This morning we are going to :
Library
Target
Post Office
This afternoon I will make my menu and grocery list. I will be getting groceries tonight I think. Well off to shower and get ready for our day. TTYL...maybe I will be able to type up some recipes today! I am way behind! No, wait, I have to finish my book for book group first.

Child support woes again....I am not uspet with Josh's bio Dad as I believe the support is being taken out of his pay check. He minght never see Josh but he has been good about sending support. His current employer doesn't regularly send the money into the state so that it comes to me. I think he only sends it like once a month. The last time was December 10th according to the state. Now I have to wonder when he will be sending it this month. Obviously it isn't the same time each month or I would have money now. Very frustrating.
Josh got his hair cut last night and he looks so much like his bio father. I never really noticed how much until Josh got a family picture from his dad. WOW...the resemblence is amazing.

I made a great gain in my financial responsiblity goal today!!! I located an attorney that does wills and will give me a discount because my employer is a member of MERSC. So I have printed the estate planning questionnaire and will fill that out with my hubby. It is all pretty easy as we have discussed it most already, except for the guardians for our children, mainly Josh and Tommy. We don't have to worry about Erik as he would still has two parents to care for him in the event of our death. So we have an appointment in February with an attorney and our wills will be done!
I wish my parents would get a will. I think alot of their stuff will be held up in probate court and a chunk of money will go to a probate attorney. I have been on a kick of reading financial books so this was high on my priority list to complete this year!!!
The other thing that I really need to do was to do a quick deed on our house. I had to add Pauls name to the house ownership. My friend's boyfriend is an attorney and will help fill out the quick deed. Then we just take it to court house and it is done! It only takes about 15 minutes or so she said. All these little things that seem like a pain, sure can protect your loved ones in the end. That is what I want a piece of mind that things are taken care of.
The next thing to do is pay off all our debt. That will take many years, but we will for sure have our mortgage paid off faster than 30 years! I am feeling good about our progress.
And lastly I am happily eating my luch and following my diet. Someone came up to me today and said "you have lost a ton of weight!!" Good for you". I need random people say that to me so I stay motivated!! So far so good!
I am adding having my eyebrows done if I can to my haircut on Monday!! I deserve a treat!! Well almost done with my lunch. I need to go buy a water. (Disclaimer: yes, the queen of cheap never buys water, but for some weird reason we only have hot water at our office this week) so I will go buy a bottle!
Later!

A tad bit tired this morning...Tommy has been up in the middle of the night for a few nights. I hope to get to bed early tonight. Last night we had church. We talked about Child Psychology, it was ok. Tommy had a hard time separating. He has been having a difficult time since I was off so much at CHristmas. I am sure it will be better soon. I did manage to clean out the medicine cabinet and drawer in the bathroom last night while Tommy took a bath. I don't mind so much when he zone is the bathroom. I tend to get those chores done as I do them while Tommy plays in the tub.
Well I am off to work. Maybe I will make my To DO List late Today! Hope everyone has a great day!!

I ended up not going to the parent info night at Josh's school. I had a headache and jsut couldn't face it all. I had a low keyed evening, I was watching in neice and nephew and then my SIL stayed to visit for a bit. I did get the kitchen floor scrubbed and the house vacuumed. I won an auction on Ebay! I purchased a cute little wrought iron plant stand for my office at work. I had been looking for just the right item and hadn't been able to find it. Part of my b-day present
I am off to bed to read my book. I need to finish it by Thursday evening so my friend can read it. Later!
