• Hey everyone....yep..I was going to post everyday, but it is hard some days!!!  So here is a bit of a recap for those interested. 

  
  

  SUNDAY - I stayed very busy all day.  I need to start relaxing more on the weekend.  Maybe once we get back to our school year routines I will have more time on the weekends.   Sunday I got up and went to Walmart right away to buy the rest of the school supplies and canning jars.   I came home and made the kids lunch and got busy canning Salsa.  I have pictures, but will have to load them when I am at home.  

  
  

  In the midst of canning Tommy lost his first tooth.  He was so very excited!!!  I am surprised he didn't explode.  I cleaned around the house most of the evening.  I had the hardest time stopping and going to bed.  Once in bed I read until after midnight.  

  
  

  MONDAY - Back to work for me.   Monday is my organizing day at work.  I get things squared away for the week and ready.   I worked until 5:00 and then headed home to make a quick supper for the kids.  Hubby and I went to look into buying new tires for my van.  Sam's club wasn't accepting anymore cars for service when we got there.  ARGH...we checked the prices though.  Then we headed to Tires Plus as their sign said they were having a sale.   There prices were twice as much as Sam's still.   Hubby told me which tires to buy at Sams and I will do that on Friday morning.  

  
  

  Once we got home I was really wiped!   I actually sat down and watched two TV shows of mindless TV.  Very rare for me!   I watched Wife Swap and Super Nanny.   Then it was off to bed.  Both Tommy and I fell asleep right away.  Our puppy was crying alot during the night to go out.  I am not sure why that was.  

  
  

  TUESDAY - another work day, my late night!   WOrking on paperwork most of the day.  I did go out and do one site visit.  I might go home a bit earlier than planned tonight as I have a headache again.  My back and head have been terrible again.  I think I need to see another Dr besides the Chiropracter.   I need to get my Lawyers advice before seeking additional treatment.

  
  

  The last few days I have been working on setting up my routines for this year.  They have changed a bit from last year due to Tommy being in Preschol three times a week instead of two.   This week is a test run to see how it goes...unfortunately I have really been struggling to get up as early as I need to.  We have been sleepig in alot during the summer.  Next week we are back to school hours.  ARGH!!  

  
  

  Here is a draft of my routine for Tuesday................ You know me...the Queen of Checklists!!

  I am finally getting caught up on reading my Make It Home Magazines.  Cat and Blaine do a wonderful job with the magazine.  It is great to read the different articles and see writers that I read on xanga and other websites contributing.  Very cool!!!
