Week 42: Celebrating year 44

 Sunday, October 13

 Today I went out to lunch with a friend, then hit the gym for a good workout. Oh yeah, I also got the kids to clean their stuff off the living room floor so I could vacuum. So, I vacuumed the living room and my bedroom today. Those tasks have been on my “to do” list for a bit, but for some reason I’ve just been pretty lethargic. I’m hoping this week things will help me snap back to being productive. I watched a video sometime last week where a trainer talked about how a decent amount of clients that really pushed themselves at the gym had messy living situations because the human body is really good at conserving energy, especially if your body is used to not doing much. So, I’m going to work on that mental block and get some stuff done around the house, because ya girl has been slacking!

 Today was a teacher work day, so I had a decent amount of time by myself, though I did visit with some coworkers and also offered to help clean some of their electronics. After work, the little one and I went to Walmart to get snacks for his Acro class to share in his birthday celebration. While they did their practice, I took a nice long walk. I finished an audiobook while walking. I’m glad the book is over because it was not one that I enjoyed very much.

 I was SO productive at work today! I completed like 3 different, and fairly heavy, tasks that needed to be completed. I also did a few extra tasks that helped my area feel cleaner and made me more comfortable. I love that feeling. Now, if I could just translate it to home….

 Anyway, the little one has his last soccer practice tonight, so I’ll get some “me” time in while walking around during practice.Hopefully I can hit my step goal for the day.

 Being that today is my birthday, I am absolutely going to make the entire day about me. If you’re reading this, you’re likely a friend of mine on facebook. If you’d like to know how my day was, feel free to read the long post about it online.

 I made it to the gym today! I’m excited for the end of soccer season this weekend, because I feel like I get zero time to go to the gym right now. Yeah, it’s only Monday and Tuesday that I don’t get to go, but it’s upsetting because it’s not a great way for me to start the week. I have been good at being active all week thus far so that’s a win in my book.


Friday, October 18

 Talk about a hectic day! Well, the end of it anyway. I misunderstood my oldest son when he asked when I’d be home from work. He wanted to borrow my car to go to his new employee orientation but I didn’t realize that was why he was asking. So he panicked and called me when I wasn’t home when I thought I would be. After work he went to the high school football game, so the little one and I walked a lot. I did get my nails done, so that and my walks alone today were my “me time” things.


Saturday, October 19 

 Today is all about me and hanging out with my friends! So, I’m not going to go into detail, but I’m going to have a great day with my girls!

Week 6

Image
  February 4 -   I didn’t go to sleep until around 4 am. I really shouldn’t have had a soda so late in the day on Saturday, especially since I’ve been cutting back so much. Lesson learned!   I was looking forward to spending some quality time with the book I’m reading, but life got in the way and I was needed in other places. Oh well. I did get to read a little and I think that the reason life keeps pulling me away from the book is because once I really get into it, I won’t want to put it down.  No decluttering done today, unless you count getting the three pies out of the house and to the pie auction! LOL! February 5 -   Back to work. I’m still a little tired from the weekend, so no decluttering today. I really need to find some focus to get this task completed.  I think I’ll go to bed and read some tonight and see if I can fall asleep earlier than usual. February 6 -   Today is my oldest son’s birthday. He is now considered a man,...

Week 20 - The last week

Image
May 12 -  The boys and my sister treated me to a wonderful day today. I am so thankful for all 3 of them! Due to the nature of the “holiday” I didn’t do any work around the house. However, I’ve noticed some things I can do outside tomorrow, weather permitting. May 13 -  As my lawn guy hasn’t been by to mow, I took it upon myself to charge up the battery for my weed eater and start hacking away at the front yard. With all the rain the past few weeks, I understand that those working in lawn care are behind schedule, however, the city I live in has these stupid, arbitrary rules about the length of grass and how citizens in this fine town will be penalized when their lawn doesn’t fit within those certain parameters. I despise those kinds of rules, so I will be plotting ways to make my yard either invisible to those in “power” OR to plant a BUNCH of flowers (hopefully mostly native) so they can grow freely and the rules won’t apply.  I’ve seen more than one house in this town ...

Week 19 - Oh look, even more lasts

Image
May 5th -  Well, the rain had plans for us this week. Key Club was supposed to do sidewalk chalk for Teacher Appreciation Week, but due to the rain (at least it wasn’t during prom) the students made posters instead. While students made posters, I took down photo booth decorations and listened to them talk about prom. It seems like everyone had a good time. After hours of that I returned home to veg out. So, no home improvement projects today. May 6th -  The first full day of Teacher Appreciation Week. There’s a lot to organize this week, so I don’t foresee much happening at home. Between planning for the week and doing a final check (or two) on the senior video, I’m pretty tired just thinking about it; and it's only Monday.  May 7th -  Today members of Key Club had a catered meal provided for the teachers. The students cleared plates, filled glasses with drinks, and did the bulk of setup and clean up. Talk about a gift! The meal was a huge success and the students we...
