Week of trauma... well mild

Ok, trauma may be a bit of an exaggeration, but, trying non the less.

Home... so getting worn out by this totally disarray.  Everything is covered in dust, nothing has a "home". Progress is painfully slow.  Feeling a bit frazzled. 

The yard is a jungle... there could be wild game out there that will eat me when I mow today.


School... the whole rug for Janet thing almost pushed me over the edge. School is a totally mess, dirty, disorganized (not my job), and I am frustrated with parents that don't tell me that they are dropping out!

Working out... I went ONE day (RRR)!  Food has been ok, not great.

Me...I have had a headache for 3 days now, and my knees are hurting.  I am sure it is all stress related... suck it up and get to work!

I am just plain exhausted! I can't imagine how tired Kevin must be... just want to be able to be done!!!

Just seems everywhere I turn is in total chaos.  Must get my head back in the game... with school starting on Wednesday, that is a good time to hit the ground "running".  Ok so maybe today is the day to get in gear.  I am going to pick 1 thing that is driving me crazy and that I can fix and get that done.  

The stinkin lists again... why do I find comfort in the "LIST" ?  Do I need something to be "in charge" of me.  

List of the day- Laundry, lawn... Yeah that is two things but, I think that is manageable.  There is also the obligations that I already have for the day, High School meeting @1 and LWML yard sale @3.

What a Mess

Time flies when you are having fun?  Went to get Sam from camp, then went camping for the weekend.  

It was "fun"... so yes it was at times enjoyable, then there was the whole hormonal thing.  If it were not for that it would have been fun.

I guess that everything is just getting to me... school starts, a lot still to do at school, house is a MESS, the kitchen is kinda at a stand still due to Kevin being so busy at work, yard is a mess due to not sure what.  I just want to get things DONE.  My knees hurt... feel like I am just exhausted. 

I think this is all contributing to my pissy attitude.  I really need to just suck it up and get a grip!

I did get my workout done this morning, and I will mow the lawn later today. I WILL get a lot done today!!!  Today is an opportunity to get my sh*t in a pile, I could make a list...Hahahaha.  Like there is not a mental list already made.

Chubby Chick off to get it done

Death

So we are gathered here this beautiful summer morning to mourn the death of a pound.  As we look back on it's long and plump life we see that it had a lot of help in it's success.  There were 3500 calories that made up its mass.  

Our "friend" is gone forever, however, there seems to be an epidemic beginning here.   It joins the 6 others that have lost their courageous battle.  All indications are they are only the tip of the ice burg.  

Preliminary numbers out of the "Fat Stores" are that we should be seeing about 80-90 more of these deaths.  

There was a recent interview with the quadriceps they indicated that as their mass increases we could expect more frequent losses.  The word is that their strength is increasing and the fuel needed to sustain us fat pounds is being decreased.  

So go about your day and enjoy the little time you have left... you never know when it is your time to burn up!

Once upon a Monday morning

Why do Mondays suck SO much.  Is it the collision between Sunday night"s expectation of "Great things to come"  and the cold hard truth that morning brings of  "Crap, I am so freaking tired".  

Shouldn't Monday be looked upon with great anticipation as to the wonderful things that will happen?  Why are they treated like the plague and wished to not come at all.  If Monday was completely skipped (or better yet, added to the weekend!)  then the villain here would be Tuesday.    

This Monday my first plan... yes that 4 letter word that gets me into trouble so much of the time.
Oh yeah, that plan... go work out this afternoon with my buddy, doing what the trainer texted us @ 11:09pm!!!   The second plan... get up at 6 go to the gym and do 30 min on the elliptical machine, then this afternoon proceed with plan "A".   Well, the alarm went off, the brain said... just rest a bit longer, make some coffee, sit on the patio...enjoy!!

Guess who won! Yes the coffee is brewed, I am in my comfy patio chair and the gym will wait for a few more hours.  There will be kitchen construction in the evening... so I guess I should just be happy!

Crazy

My life is Crazy!!  Crazy busy, crazy weird, crazy messy, crazy fun, crazy loved, crazy blessed!!!

This weekend alone, got to cuddle both my Grands to sleep, had a dinner at our house (with no kitchen), worked with Hubs on the kitchen (4 hours yesterday), helped the youngest (age 9...and a half, don't for get the half!) get ready for camp, worked out, mowed the lawn and some laundry... not enough!

This kitchen construction (due to the flood) is really coming along... it is just a LONG process.  I am in hopes that it will only be a few more weeks. There is dust everywhere!!

Our daughter is visiting with her 18 month old and is 5 months prego, I got to babysit our 4 month old grandson.  

In the midst of this CRAZINESS it would be so easy to say "I will start when this is all done"  or "Crap, I am so tired I don't want to work out"  so I am pretty happy that I have NOT missed a work out!    That said... food is kinda a different story.  I have most days been at or below my calorie goal.  The food that I am eating is not the healthiest choices.  BUT, I am conscience of that and will improve.  

I am hopeful that GONE are the days of "ALL OR NOTHING".  Now is the time of "BIG GIRL PANTIES" just keep moving forward!

I weighed today... who am I kidding I weigh EVERYDAY!  So today is the "official" day and I did NOT lose any weight.  But, I know I have moved and am moving forward.  It will come off.

Fantastic Friday

I am so lucky to get to babysit my sweet grandson today.  I did not get to the gym this morning, and his parents are coming over for dinner so I will no be making this evening either.  

I will make the most of the day that I have.  I get to snuggle and kiss the little guy till his cheeks are chapped!  I am going to take a walk for a little workout.  

I am going to do my Friday workout tomorrow... trying to adapt to the changes life throws at me.  To make permanent changes, I can't we so rigid.  Roll with the punches!
